I do have the itch to dump my purchased '11 and get the '13. With my commute a lease will not be practical, so I would need to buy again. What is stopping me is that I'd have to cough up around 6k if not more just to end up with basically the same vehicle, even after the loyalty and VPP discounts. To be fair the '13 has some nice improvements, but they are nothing that I cannot live without. The worst part of course is that improved battery life is not one of them. I feel it is better to just save that 6k towards a battery replacement should I ever need it (hope not) and drive my '13 for at least 3 more years. It does look like my original pack will suit my needs that long.
