Have a look at the actual acceleration times and trap speeds in a 1/4 mile run and you'll see how worthless fixed-point dyno numbers are for EVs
Again consider the difference in times to get to 60 is about 0.8-0.9 seconds between the cars.
And the P gets to the end of the 1/4 mile (nearly double that speed) roughly... 0.8-.9 seconds sooner than the AWD.
That extra acceleration is almost entirely front-loaded in the 0-60
(see also the fact the trap speeds are so close- which is usually an excellent proxy for net power)
Quite a lot of 70 mph highways here.... which means realistically most folks are going 75-85.
But if you review my description of my drive, the only time I need acceleration from 0 is...virtually never, and never in any way where 4 vs 3.2 would matter as I'd be the only car doing it either way.
In terms of acceleration? Nope. Not even the P is traction limited- in fact the lighter 18s make the car (very slightly) quicker than with those boat-anchor 20" wheels.
Certainly I'd expect the PS4s (in any size) to brake and corner under power better than the MXM4s- but that's tires not car- and easily swapped while retaining the lighter, more durable, 18" wheels.
Even if I'd gone P it would've been a P3D- to avoid the 20s, which are all show and no go.
I was referring to handling of course and brake feel. I didn’t like the stock tires on the 18s and liked the 20s way more especially in so cal.
Also, punching the throttle around 40 mph in the Performance feels way more aggressive. Anything below 80mph and the feel is pretty noticeable. And let’s be honest, running away from those pesky bmw M3s in a Performance feels way better than barely edging one out in a Dual Motor version. Haha.
