It remains faster and better in most ways than nearly every other car on the market, even 4+ years on.
I’m selling it now to buy a Model 3, mostly because I want the tax credit. If I had to keep it a couple of more years, I could.
I don’t know if the Model 3 will age that well, but I don’t see why it won’t.

Good point. Just like any car, there will be incremental improvements over the next 5 years along with slight degradation of the battery. It’s possible they’ll add some additional hardware features (HUD? A few more physical buttons? Faster processor Etc) and incremental battery improvements but if you’re happy with the features it has now that’s not a big deal.
