Living in the Outback the S is now your range vehicle
I just made the same decision yesterday. I live in the Northeast, so there was a full 15K difference between the fully loaded P85 and the Standard 85kWh, if you included the $2300 for the spare set of 19" all-season wheels and tires, and the sales tax impacts. Having driven both Standard and Performance, and loving them both (especially the CF trim and the leather piping on the Perf), I just couldn't justify the extra 15K on what was already a 100K car (with taxes and delivery/prep). The Standard is faster than my Boxster, and that rarely leaves me wanting more speed.
And sadly, I would have been able to spring for the Perf if not for the extra wheels, and the lack of any credit for downgrading a Perf to 19" wheels. A $2900 credit there (=5200-2300) would have meant a $5500 reduction in total cost, with taxes included.
Because that's how they started out advertising this thing- $49k (after tax incentive). Hooked us all. I wouldn't have looked twice if they started out talking $80k+. Now I'm toying with $89K vs $100K. How did I get here. Who doped my drink?!
Hi,
I am new to this site and I am also debating between the performance vs. standard. The posts are really helping. Many thanks. I have to make a final decision in the next week or so. P5801.
I drove the perf model and it was like taking a hit of crack ..... changed my reservation the moment I got out of the car.
SO ... if you are on the fence. 1. Dont drive the perf model. 2. Dont drive the perf model and 3. DO NOT DRIVE THE PERF MODEL.
Yep, fully agreeSame advice for the Model S. If you don't want to buy it, don't drive it:smile:

Hi,
I drove the non-performance in the get amped tour. I got the "It is time to build your Model S email" last week and visited my nearby Tesla Store out here in the midwest which I had not been to in a month or two. They had cars to test drive. I drove the performance. I never ever thought I would willing pay 85K for a car or contemplate having a car that needed "summer performance tires". I climbed out of the car after the test drive with a stupid silly grin on my face. I think I just fell in love with a car. It is awsome.

I'm quite the opposite of alot of people here. I test drove the standard S at the first Get Amped event, but chose to config a performance anyway because I really wanted the carbon fiber interior. After testing out the performance car in August, I'm very glad I liked the CF
