Should I go for an early facelifted model S (free supercharging 4 life) with low 100k's or a 2020+ model 3 under 80k?

What are their driving habits like? i.e. How much do they drive per day on average and can they charge at home (even on 110v)? I drive around 1500km / month and my 50-60km EV range covers 85-95% of my monthly driving needs (I top up at home with a 110v outlet).

If they're anything like my parents they'll hate the Tesla and the controls and how they work. Lack of instrument panel, door release button... it's all going to be grounds for complaints from them lol.

That's how my parents ended up with one of the triplets
+1 on the Toyota bz4x - I see a few that'll be slightly over $30k after tax.
If your in-laws want to stick strictly to under $30k and don't care for brand perception, MY2020+ Kia Soul EVs are great everyday cars that hover around low $20k pre-tax now. I loved mine and my parents loved the higher ride height, good visibility, and practicality.
