I posted on the 64 (as of now) page thread, but wanted to create a thread to discuss the performance version...
Now I am not digging at anyone who is planning to go P, but for me I do not see the value. Sportiness has always been a key driver in my car choices and I would always option for the sport additions, and am ecstatic I can finally get a powerful AWD electric car (placed my order tonight on LRD)!
From Elon's tweet and conjections on other threads, it seems the P motors are the same as the 3LRD, just they are the units that test best with more capable inverters. Obviously there will be some software and other minor hardware tweaks, but besides that, 20" rims, and spoile (well and white for now), the jump for only a 1 second reduction in 0-60 seems quite steep. I know the S has an even larger jump, but that is justified by the acceleration beating hypercars and for it to be Tesla's halo. I was hoping for a more direct competitor to the M3/RS5/AMG/ATS-V crowd than another number poster. I.e. brakes, suspension, tires, ext. Now I know there was no past basis for that, just my hopes
That all being said, I get the great acceleration, but that does not justify it for me and I wanted to hear what other people's thoughts on the jump to a P was for the.
Thanks!
