S85 or P85?

[mknox]

This used to be an easier question to answer because the P85 included a number of extras that are now options. The extra $10K was buying a lot more than just horsepower. Furthermore, some of those extras—such as carbon fiber trim—were only available on the P85.

Yes. I would have paid for the upgraded interior alone (which you now can do :cursing but didn't really want or need the P mechanicals.

I do find the P85's extra power useful in certain situations.

Wow. I'd like to understand where. I find my S85 already stupidly quick. I have to be careful as it is with bursts of speed on the freeway because other cars do not seem to realize how quick I get from A to B, and will often get into my A <-> B space! The other day, I punched it to get around a BMW who was playing games with me and I was at 120 MPH in a flash! My license is probably already at risk with my S85, and if there is such a difference with a P85, I would probably be putting a lot more than my license on the line :wink:

On Vermont's curvy back roads, where passing zones are short and rare. But to be fair, I never drove an S85. My test drive was in a P85. Plus, I thought it would be interesting to own an electric car that's faster to 60 than my Ferrari 456 was.

Love it Todd! Ferrari in rear view.
