Who would ever limit themselves to those two options when a $800 investment in performance tires, yields a savings of $4200 over the 20 inch wheel option (I think it's packaged with the $5000 "Select Performance Upgrade" option right (20" wheels, pretty red calipers, carbon fiber lip spoiler, and +10 MPH to 155, -10mm suspension height, and aluminum brake pedal/go pedal), with a massive increase in performance?That wasn't the question, though was it? We're talking off the lot setups from Tesla. Sure you could 'smoke' someone if you changed tires, wheels, pulled out all the seats, etc, etc, etc.... But we're not talking about how to make the Model 3 P a drag machine. The question in the poll refers to how Tesla has chosen to adorn the non-Performance upgrades version vs the Upgrade package, and how that might effect the dash to 60 mph....
I would still go 18...and change the tires once I smoked the OEM tires... I bet they are 3/10ths difference, due to the weight gain with the 20's - they might be faster due to the A/S tires on the 18's, however this is in question too, as the 20 inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport 4s is using a new 500 UTQG compound that is harder than the 18 inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport 4s which is using a softer 300 UTQG. Either way this is a bad ass car that needs summers if your climate can tolerate those. If not with the $4200 savings you can get another set of Telsa wheels with winter tires for $2000 and still pocket $2200 for other stuff over the "Select Performance Upgrade"
