, just genuinely interested if any compromises need to be made to your driving style
You sound much like me. I just punch it if I want that sort of action. I'm sure it is slower if the battery is below, say, 70% but its never been enough that I have noticed (but I've never been doing that when a fraction of a second mattered ... sounds like that would work fine for you too).
Passing-speed is very quick. I don't know how that would compare, but if you are doing 50 and want to be at 80 it all starts, and then completes
, very quickly. In fact "Good luck lifting off before you get to 80 ..."
I'm sure the F30 would knock spots off it above the Ton, but at road legal speeds, plus a bit of wiggle room, its a blast.
The MS-P I had previously had extraordinary traction. Near me is a big roundabout, with lights, under the a Dual Carriageway; first exit - up sliproad - so 90-degrees Left but "eased" a bit by the size of the roundabout. Full power launch taking the first exit was absolutely fine. Never any drama. And I was at the top of the sliproad and disappearing before whatever Porker/etc. behind me had even got to the bottom.
I don't know if it is "better". It is certainly "different", in a way that I most definitely prefer.
The winters are a concern as I live in North Scotland so several months of average temps in the low single figures. I do notice a difference in mpg in the winter of maybe 5-10% max, but 30% is quite a hefty hit.
Long journey should be OK. Once the battery is warm (especially if you pre-condition) and if 5C-ish IME that only costs about 10% range.
My February overall average is horrific, but my individual long-journey is 10%-ish. And when not on long journey I don't care as I have range enough, every day, by plugging in over night.
Travelling salesman IS a problem in Winter. If you stop for an hour the battery will be cold, so you get the full set-off-energy-penalty every time.
Temperature below 0C will also have an effect, but being a Soft Southerner I don't venture far on those days
