P3D-

Absolutely nothing, I can't stand very low profile tires like the 20inch wheels. Love my car the way it is.

I have modified my p3d- with MPP rotors, MPP brake pads, MPP lines, Castrol srf fluid and rims/tires. Car drives great with these mods. I Was able to score second fastest time at Tesla Corsa two weeks ago. I am at about 5k in mods but am making the best of my situation. If I could do it over again I think I would have ordered the +.
I guess what I am saying is if you do some research you can definitely improve your car to perform as well as the plus and have some custom touches as well.

Doing? Uh, enjoying our cars?
I mean, the standard brakes do fade pretty quickly, but there are options to improve that while sticking with the aero wheels (my preference). Since I'm not intending to track this car for the time being, it's not a priority right now. If I wanted to participate in track days regularly, I'd buy another Miata.
Driving and enjoying, that’s what! Also did not care for pothole magnets. Happy as is.

Didn't want the low profile tires. Did want the 0-60 rocket. Very happy I ordered when I did because you can't get the version I really wanted any more.

Totally enjoying the "sleeper" status of the car. I don't even have the Dual Motor logo installed - looks like it could be a plain-jane RWD car.
Haven't thought twice about the bling "performance" package.

Honestly, the mods we could not do to the car, Elon has matched with the P+, track mode, top speed, etc. So the rest is on the person to do, which is not difficult, tires, brakes, etc. I think the fact that they added all the bells and whistles programatically to the car OTA, I now have a better option than P+ people did have when they purchased.
Totally made the right choice. Love the stealth speed, love the size of the wheels and tires, love the wheels underneath the aero covers, love what I did to the aero wheels just because I’ve always wanted these discs. Great choice in my opinion.
Now that winter has passed I'll probably find some rims and summer tires. Was going to go 20", but after hearing people have issues with dented rims, maybe i will do 19 instead. I like round numbers though... Also plan on getting coilovers so I can lower in the summer and raise in the winter when I will put proper winter tires on the aeros. Would love to have painted calipers too, so might do that. Thought about getting a spoiler, but I like that is easy to clean. The spoiler on my WRX was always such a pain. I already de-badged it to put on PPF and just didn't bother to put them back on.
So far things have worked out really well. Extra 5k refund to give up free supercharging, and also got track mode. The 5k probably won't completely cover the mods, but it will put a nice dent in the cost.
Now the main problem... trying to pick rims. So many choices

What did you pay for on the day you bought your car? That's your deal. Quit whining.
I am loving my P3D- slightly faster than the P3D+ in the1/4th mile and have $5000 to spend in mods. I am waiting patiently for aftermarket companies to continue develop parts and lower their prices.
So far it seems that you can get two piece rotors, wheels/tires and coilovers for a little over $5000. Depending on what parts you get you can improve the dynamics, performance and even slightly the battery range.
