S did an AMAZING job, no body damage, not even a scratch, but the collision was pretty bad.Sorry to hear about your totaled S and I hope nobody was hurt.
Quiet is important, I suspect that the difference with Raven S is going to be even bigger.I haven’t tried a Raven S yet, but coming from a classic S90D with smart air suspension to a P3D, the S was more quiet than my 3
Yeah, the numbers say that P3D is just 0.4 sec faster than S100D, which is not a big difference.Against my friends 2018 S100D, my P3D is a bit quicker than his S. I think you need to test drive both to figure out if you like the “less plush” ride of the 3, but I like the gocart feel of the 3.

However, we drove a Raven X today and it was such a noisy car

Will test both on Monday.
3 feels like a downgrade after S with air or Raven suspension. The seats were tolerable (10 min drive), but the ride is not as luxurious.@Green_Light what you thought? I just got back from long trip in AWD model 3 and I find seats very comfortable. Of course we all have different preferences. Get performance model 3 as there might be Ludacris mode coming.

Will probably go with another S100D, its 3.6 sec is really fast enough.

Oh man, different folks different strokes. I did not like the air suspension in S100D in some cases, but Raven is SO awesome. Just go try it out and you will see. I concur what others have said.So curious how folks react, I'm nothing but pleased to not have air suspension in my car.. and I like how the 3 rides..
This is a horrible reason to buy a Model 3 Performance now, based on (a) optimistic rumor and (b) Tesla's history.Get performance model 3 as there might be Ludacris mode coming.
Yes, very nauseous. This week I drove P100D (19") in the morning and in the evening and found that it makes me nauseous all the time (I floor cars). I got really beaten up by my sit! I really wanted to love Ludicrous, but it's just too much for Chicago, you will hurt your neck, you will get a bunch of tickets, you will get nauseous, you are more likely to hit somebody. Plus, you will definitely forget to put the car in the valet mode every once in a while and guess what parking people will do?Well, I went and checked out the 3 again. I just found it unacceptably uncomfortable. The S, on the other hand, I find very comfortable. Interesting how different people find different cars uncomfortable or not. I have back trouble and am over 6', but my girlfriend also found the 3 uncomfortable, does not have back trouble, and is 5'2". We are both in our 60's, so maybe that is the explanation. But the S does not handle as well as the 3 or as well as my Porsche Cayenne Turbo (but can out-accelerate the latter). I drove an S rated as 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. I love great acceleration, but I have to say 4.2 seconds is good enough for me. I have heard, and can believe, that the faster S's actually make people nauseous. The unanswered question is how much better an S would handle with 21" wheels and tires. I have not tried that.

Another 3 advantage: The Model 3 feels far more secure to park in a normal parking spot. This is important.You'll need to test drive. You'll know right away. They're very different cars. Personally I love the 3 and hate my family member's PS100DL [not Raven]. I'm sure the raven is better but it's not going to change the whole thing. I've taken very long road trips with my 3 and love every second of it. As mentioned earlier in this thread, are you a 3 series person or a 5 series person? I'm a 3 series person all day and personally think the Model 3 is a better overall car than the Model S. Newer design, superior interior, faster charging, and a much more enjoyable drive. I do understand my last sentence will be harshly judged. lol Go for a test drive, you'll know which car to get immediately.
Best of luck!
