Your comment had me intrigued enough to sign up here and ask a bit more.
I previously owned and tracked an R8 V10, traded up to a 911 GT3, which I love dearly. Currently considering replacing my Audi S4 with a Model 3 and debating whether performance or AWD.
Curious what some of the main reasons for not looking back are, from someone with similar experience. Is it the torque? The gas savings? I haven't yet had a hybrid or EV, so I don't have any context to compare. Was just curious.
Weirdly enough, I bought out modified Carrera S (GT3 Aerokit & Shifter upgrade, H&R suspension, TubiStyle Exhaust, Wheels, etc) AFTER having our MS P90D for almost two years. I was secure in that BECAUSE we loved the Tesla so much. The lack of maintenance, speed, and yes, 'filling up' at home made me appreciate the joys of EV ownership, but also made me look at just what I WANTED an ICE car to do.
Bluntly, nothing else does all around fun, general purpose 4-door car as well as an EV, and the only ones that handle worth a damn and look good are Teslas right now. You only would need the AWD Model 3 to match your S4, but get the P3D if you can. I think you'll actually appreciate your GT3 MORE when you have it.
I liken them to watches. I LOVE my daily, an LG Urbane Android watch. But because of that, I also love my self-winding mechanical watches even more, and I'm planning to upgrade to better ones.
