Hello all,
I thought I'd post a new thread on this topic even though the question has been asked many times.
My dilemma: after waiting 4 months from order date to being allocated a hidden VIN I have had way too much time to toss up between the P3D+ I have on order vs the "more sensible" LR AWD. Actually, it's been so long now I've even taken an SR+ for a test drive and even that is in the mix now.
The trouble is that all the Model 3's are good cars. If the only thing that existed was an SR+ then I would be more than happy with it as my first Tesla. The SR+ is quicker than I thought, and the lack of front motors make the steering a bit more "natural". I also really like the 18" wheels and the Aero covers.
The LR AWD is faster again, plus you get all that extra battery range and the premium interior (audio is the big one for me).
Then there is a P3D+ which is a beast in terms of acceleration, but I really don't like the 20" wheels. The rest of the "performance upgrade" I can take or leave (eg: spoiler, lowered, alloy pedals, larger brakes).
The "stealth performance" or P3D- is the absolute sweet spot for me, but after 4 months of searching I can't find one and Tesla are very tight-lipped about whether or not they will make any more.
So therefore is comes down the following choice:
SR+ (cheap & cheerful)
LR AWD (middle of the road)
P3D+ (expensive and high maintenance)
Thoughts/comments appreciated...
