Damn you guys!!!
I wasn't even thinking about buying a new car until my son totaled my Audi A5, thankfully he wasn't hurt. But now I had to start looking for a new daily driver. Not being in the car shopping mindset there was nothing out there that really interested me until I took a test drive in a S85. Besides my Porsche GT3 I had never been pinned back to my seat the way the S85 did, I placed my order that day and confirmed it two days later.
Then I started reading some of the postings here on this forum about what people thought of the performance difference between the S85 and the P85. I wasn't convinced that 54hp in a 4600lb car would make much of a difference. Now admittedly I didn't do a lot of research about the Model S until after I ordered it. Normally I'd put a lot more thought into which specfic version of a car I was going to buy before I test drive it, so I am famillar with it and know what to expect. When I took my test drive they only had the S85 available and I was totally impressed with it. Then I read this thread and it got me wondering!!
I was finally able to test drive a P85 yesterday and "Holy S**t" what an eye opener that was. From a standing start it was every bit as quick as the GT3 (gotta admit though the sound of a wide open GT3 is amazing) up 60-70mph. You gotta love all that 443 ft/lbs of torque.
Thought about it last night and made the change this morning. Service person at Tesla thought there would be no problem upgrading the order even though I have an assigned Vin# already.
Now the waiting begins!!!
