I had the same question to ponder before ordering. To me, its my daily driver, with spirited driving every now and then - lead me to order the M3LR with 19” wheels.
After a few test drives at Tesla, I choose the M3LR over the P, as:
1) I won’t ever track the M3,
2) brakes are only useful in emergency stops (one pedal driving in 85% of the time - regeneration at its best).
3) 20” rims and tires look great and would be nice as a second set. However, 20” tires are super expensive and already blew a tire on my last vehicle with super low profile tires hitting a Texas pot hole. A $350+ fix.
4) Suspension on the P appears to be very similar to the LR. Personally after a 1600 mile road trip, I prefer a little more supple ride than road jarring.
4) Can add the rear spoiler lip and pedals easily.
5) Many swap out the sport 19” rims for some Martian wheels to personalize it a bit.
6)LR 0-60 = 4.3 sec, P = 3.3 sec in multiple tests…both super quick.
The P was amazing…just have other places to spend the $6k difference. Either one is an amazing vehicle And you can’t go wrong.
