I currently have a MYLR on order but estimate keeps going between April and June. I'm trying to decide if I should call Tesla and get my order changed to a Perf since it would speed up delivery by 1 or more months. My biggest concern with the perf and why I didn't order originally was when I was ordering in October they did not offer AS tires. I don't get a lot of snow where I live but it does snow 1-3 times a year. Since they now offer AS tires with the car I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to go this route. The concerning thing is I can't find how much the tires cost or how to even buy them if I needed a replacement. I'm trying to figure out how much extra the perf will cost me vs the LR. Tirerack has no AS tires for the 21" wheels. Would the only option be to buy from Tesla in that case, and if so how much do they charge for new tires? I assume the perf will also use up tires faster since less tire on the wheel and more power. Would it be safe to say 20k replacement schedule vs 30k.
A rough estimate I can think of is spending an extra 5k on tires over 100k miles with the car. Does this seem fair? I guess the most concerning part of the whole thing is the lack of AS general availability. It's too bad they just didn't use the same 20" wheels from the perf model 3. Anyways... cost aside; the car is going to be a shared family car that's replacing our current SUV. We have one toddler currently whos in love with Tesla and asks every other day when the tesla is going to arrive. Part of me wants the faster car however I've never driven a perf tesla. I tried to schedule a test drive but it says due to high demand they stopped all test drives in my area.
