Hi,
I just joined the forum after test driving a MS P100D yesterday. I have a Cayenne Turbo and resisted driving a Tesla for years. I used to think they were not driver oriented cars and build quality was average. One test drive and it has simply changed my mind. Instant torque makes the power so much usable. The car handles quite well with low center of gravity. ICE looks so outdated now..
As I am going through the transformation, I have a few questions. I will most likely be buying a slightly used car. Say 2016+ model. I like cars with performance and used to 4.2 s 0-60 with the Cayenne. Even though it has lot of power, I didn't use it a whole lot. 4.2 is plenty fast for me. However, I feel the instant torque of ModelS would make me use the power so much more often.
4.2 is like table-stakes for ModelS. Non-P versions can match it. I would love to hear opinions on how critical the performance is? Do P85D, P90D, P100D owners really use the rocket-like acceleration under regular use? I understand such performance is great for test drives.
Besides more range and supercar performance, what else is P90D/P100D offering over the other models for $20-40K premium?
Thank you for your input!
