We have 3 new S’s, two Performance and one LR+, the oldest one we bought in late 2019 and the newest just a few weeks ago. We just traded our late 2019 Performance 3+ back in on the 2021 S because while we liked the P3 it lacks in ride and comfort when you drive it even against the Performance S with 21" performance tires. The P3 may have an advantage on a racetrack but likely more than 99 percent of Teslas never see a racetrack. The S has the bigger advantage of more range, room and comfort on the road and the LR Model S is just about as quick but the Performance S will crush the P3 in power and acceleration. It boils down to your budget, in my opinion if you can afford the higher price of the S it is a nicer car. I also think the hatchback design of the S is a no brainer and the 3 could have been so much more if it had one.
