Performance Plus suspension walkaround

Here you can see the P+ package mounted in the car:

2012 Tesla Model S Signature Performance Suspension Walkaround

It is a really comprehensive analisys of the suspension layout, and it also shows how good is the engineering under the Model S. It is much more than the best motor and battery and a beautiful body, this car has been made from the bottom to be the best.

That is the regular Performance Model S, which should be no different than the standard Model S suspension.

No, it is the Performance Plus, it is said explicit in the article, but quoted as "sport package" instead of "performance plus" because when it was written that name did no exist.

It has the 21x9" rims and the 265 mm wide rear tires:

This Model S is fitted with the proposed Sport package, which includes 21-inch Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 summer performance tires. The front tires are sized at 245/35ZR21 (96Y) and the rear are 265/35ZR21 (101Y).

But 21-inch wheels and tires are also available without the Sport package, and in that case all four tires are Continental Extreme Contact summer performance tires sized at 245/35ZR21 like this one. The standard tire is a Goodyear Eagle RS-A2 performance all-season 245/45R19 tire at all four corners.

The front wheels on the Sport package (and all four on the 21-inch summer tire package) are 21-by-8.5-inch aluminum alloy wheels with a 40mm offset. The Sport package wheels are 21-by-9.0 inches, but they were prototype parts with no offset marked on them.

Yes, this is Elon Musk's car which has some experimental iteration of what's now Perf+. It was loaned out to Edmund's and others for reviews last Fall. We've dissected this before.
