Anyone regretted getting a Performance M3?

I *think* it's only on RHD model Y's that have the rear double glazing atm.. Hardly a deal breaker imo
Slightly off-topic, but in the interest of anyone else who goes down this road. I booked as an 'other service request' and attached the pic of it installed as above. It was booked in as a mobile visit for today (which I thought would be canceled nearer the time and they'll do it remotely). Tech came today, plugged in his laptop and updated the vehicle config, gave me a few goodies (colouring books, pens, and a flask), and was done in like 10 mins. The tech had said it originally had an estimated charge of £72.50 for 30 mins labour - I hadn't noticed this btw and the tech without me querying had already changed it to £9. IMO the goodies alone were worth the £9
Thank you @JIBYC
Good to hear.Slightly off-topic, but in the interest of anyone else who goes down this road. I booked as an 'other service request' and attached the pic of it installed as above.

I put it on myself and they did it all remotely, no goodies for me!
Nice to see Tesla being fairly relaxed on updates to the car.
It was pretty quick. If you can see it in the car it's done - maybe log out and in?
To original question - I'm trading in the P - had for 18 months for a MY as well as getting a M3LR later in the year. The P is brill with tinted windows - but range and ride are an experience (poor and hard). The itch of getting a car 0 to 60 in just over 3 secs has been done. Will see in a few years on the sub 2 sec version.
PITA
Model 3 Performance
Sorry but my Marriage License already has too many Penalty Points with a 3 second car... already been forced onto a Wife Awareness Course.
I'd be Grounded perminantly with a sub-2 second car... so best keep those days to my single seat motorcycles.
i wasn’t sure between the P or the LR either - I went w/ LR d/t extended range -but I think the P has a more efficient battery (82KWH) so it might have more real range than a LR w/ smaller batteryYou could buy the Uberturbines, and paint the calipers
I have a M3P, but I'd struggle to say it was worth an extra £10k over the LR, or particularly the LR+acceleration boost. If it had sports seats or something else to differentiate it then yeah, but it doesn't. You really don't get an awful lot for that £10k except bragging rights.
From what I have seen I don't think trade in values are reflective of that £10k gap, that is to say people seem to be getting like for like LR trade in prices that aren't massively lower than a M3P, but I might be mistaken.
That said - if you absolutely must have the fastest Model 3 available, then that's the P. That's where I was with it.. I didn't want to put the hammer down and wonder how much faster the P would've been, it would annoy me every time I thought about it.
The heavier wheels more than offset the larger battery - range is definitely lower on the P compared to the LR.
For next quarter in Europe it is expected than the P will get the same battery as the LR so it will have even less range.
late to the party…but i have just ordered a ‘P’, had my LR for 11 months and got a good trade in price. I was set on the Y initially but decided we didn’t need the extra space….there are a lot of model 3s in my area but i haven’t seen one P so thought i would trade for something a little different…do i need it? No, but i would like one and with my trade in i’m really not paying a huge amount more, chances are i will trade it in later on down the line for a Y P or an S LR when they are launched here

2 weeks in and no regrets getting my M3P. Range is fine (did Newcastle to London and back without any trouble), ride comfort was great and the performance was immense
I absolutely adore this car
