2023 vs 2024 Pro S software improvements and driveline refinements
Hi, we’re ready to trade one of our ICE vehicles for a practical, used EV.
I’ll be test driving a 2023 Pro S early next week, but I keep reading about the important software / efficiency improvements of the 2024+ infotainment, better motor efficiency, and preheating battery functionality. I’m hoping to keep the purchase price as low as possible.
Will any of this really be a factor when:
- I will be level 2 charging in my garage 100% of the time, apart from the rare 300-400 mile road trip for a work event (my wife’s Toyota Highlander will be our main road tripper)
- I live in a mild climate with snow 1-2 times a year and freezing high temps 30ish days a year
- My daily commute (kids to school and errands…I work from home) averages 30 miles a day and will rarely exceed 90 miles a day.
- I use Apple CarPlay 100% of the time in my current vehicle
* Secondary question: Have the software updates for pre-2024 models helped reliability and functionality?
Thanks for your feedback.
