My wife was a little unnerved by the the MYP acceleration (my daughter in the back seat loved it). It was definitely faster acceleration than anything I have driven before, but I didn't have a good gauge of how fast "very fast" really was. So your comment was very helpful. I'm also thrilled...

LOL. Yeah, car connoisseurs and audiophiles both need deep pockets and an understanding spouse.

Thanks for mentioning that. The Tesla sales rep said that the MYP would ride like the M3P, but he did note that they had 21" wheels vs 20". I think I'm good where I ended up but do appreciate you letting me know. That's good info.

I've decided on the M3LR now, but I love the idea of powder-coating the stock 19s to go with the Midnight Silver. I'll have to research how one goes about doing that. Thanks for the suggestions on wheels. That's just the sort of detail that is super helpful. Again, thanks!

I just got home from a test drive at the local Tesla store. They had just sold their demo M3P but let me drive the MYP with the 21" wheels (I'd driven the M3LR a month ago). I took the MYP out on some roads with potholes to feel the drive. I thought the ride at 30-40 mph on less than great...

Awesome comment. Really appreciate you taking the time to offer your thoughts. Super helpful.

Very helpful. Thank you. I've got some learning to do about after market options. :-)

Fair point on the frequency of stops and heat build up. Thank you!

That's what my wife says, except the part about being the boss. :-)

Thank you for that advice. Have you heard or read of any comparisons on stopping distance between the AWD LR and the AWD P?

I do vaguely recall hearing about the US law years ago. Thanks for mentioning that.

LOL. All good points in your first comment, and I appreciate your input. In truth, I do salivate at the off-the-line acceleration, but it's really the bigger brakes that I'm after. We can easily afford the P vs the LR, but we didn't save that money by being reckless, so sometimes it's hard...

I'm a week or two away from my estimated delivery date for a Model 3 Long Range. However, as the day approaches, I keep going back and forth on whether to stick with the Long Range or upgrade to the Performance. This will probably be the last fun car I get in this lifetime, so it's causing me...
