After taxes (assuming private party sale), title, and destination fees you’re probably looking at close to $15k to upgrade. Unless you have a pile of cash burning a hole in your pocket I’d let this play out a bit longer and see if Tesla provides a way for AWD owners to pay for P software.

However if you intend to upgrade the brakes with a BBK you'll need 19" wheels minimum.

Lots of nice choices of 19" and 20" forged wheels with a specific P3D+ fit. I was going to get Titan 7 T-S5 in bronze, but Evasive told me they weren't made due to lack of demand and there is no intention of making them in the future (even though their website has bronze as a color option).

Mountain Pass Performance set the Laguna Seca production EV lap record on 18’s. Just sayin’
With their upgraded brake rotors and pads of course.
Sales advisor has a P3D with 19" wheels for $51.5k. Can't decide if I should pull the trigger or pay another $3.5k for the performance upgrade package.
I drove both AWD and P3D+ and preferred the PUP brakes even in daily driving when I wasn't braking hard. Did anyone else have this experience? Yes I know the regular brakes can lock up the wheels - but the P3D+ brakes still "felt better" to me.

I’ve driven both and I agree about the braking. Personally I’d save the 3.5k, but if you can tell the difference you probably won’t be AS happy as you’d have been plunking down the 3.5k and getting the driving experience you prefer.

For 3.5k you can upgrade the stealth brakes to better than PUP. Mountain Pass offers a great BBK using the stock calipers for under 3k (front and rear). Racing Brake BBK can be had for under 3k to just upgrade the fronts and includes a 6-piston caliper.

Federal + State rebates makes it $5k better in my case. And you can get credit for DMV fees for vehicle sold. I don’t know if I can sell my MR for $39k ish.

Do you know what was done? Was it all software or was there some physical changing too?

I felt the difference between stock pads+rotors and the MPP BBK - I did rotors first and they had the most noticeable brake pedal feel vs different pads but in other cars, pads alone were a welcome change.. just another data point
what sucks is Tesla roadside service won't be able to bring you a spare tire if you have a flat if I have to go with a non Tesla wheel.
thanks for responding,
