2023 250+ or 300?
Im looking at these two model and they are priced the same or within 1k difference. The 250+ have 7k miles and the 300 has 20k but car is from Utah so I assume it had one year of brutal winter. The 250 is from SoCal.
Im leaning towards the 300 because it's awd and I drive on dirt road or beach. Im usually pretty careful and I can even manage with my rwd but I did get stuck a few times
Afaik, everything is the same with the interior. Just that with 300 I'll have dual motor.
However one of the main reason Im considering this is because one of my kid is on the spectrum and he is terrified of freeway speed. He doesn't like the body roll or the potholes so Im also interested towards the 250 with 18 tires. He seems to cope very well with German cars better like Porsche and bmw so I figured I want to give it a try.
Anything else I should be aware of when I go for the test drive?

Some 2023's were still be affected by the post-Covid chip shortages so review the actual equipment carefully. One common omission was powered seats, for example, despite being standard equipment.
And yes, the interiors are the same between the 250 and 300, but there are wide differences in options between a basic EQB and a heavily equipped one. Check out the dealer order guide for 2023 (posted in another thread) and compare installed options for your desired 250 and 300.
And not only is the 300 AWD, but it's rear biased when the front motor is not required. For those that are into such things, it will drive (and steer) noticeably different from the FWD 250.
