Quick poll for the board.
I've already ordered my MYP with the performance upgrade, but have yet to receive a VIN, and I have recently started to consider if I should remove the Performance Upgrade and just go with the MYP with the 20" wheels instead.
I do really like the red brake calipers, and the 21" wheels are ok, but the 0-60 times are the same and the estimated range drops from 315 to 280 with the 21" wheels and high-performance tires. The increased top speed (from 145 mph to 155 mph) doesn't seem like a big deal to me, and I've read where the lower suspension makes the ride a tad harsher. I'm also a tad worried about the 21" wheels being more susceptible to curb rash and potholes.
So I'd greatly appreciate everyone's opinion.
I know it's a "personal choice" and all that, but will I regret taking that big range hit for slightly bigger wheels, red brake calipers, lowered suspension, and a slightly higher top speed? I don't mind a somewhat harsh ride if that translates into less body roll in turns. I just got rid of an AMG Mercedes, so I like sportier cars, but I've never owned an EV and I'm wondering if I'll regret taking the range hit after owning the MYP for a few years. I always hear Tesla owners say "range is king" so I want to make sure I'm making the right decision on my first EV purchase. If the lowered suspension really makes the car feel sportier and more fun when driven more aggressively on curving/winding roads, then I would probably be willing to take the range hit because I want a fun car to drive. If it doesn't make a big difference, then I'd probably remove the performance upgrade.
So do y'all think I should remove the Performance Upgrade? Did anyone on here take delivery of their MYP and regret getting, or not getting the performance upgrade? Is the Performance Upgrade worth the range hit? I don't have a long commute to work, and only take occasional road trips over 200 miles. Are there other hidden features of the Performance Upgrade that Tesla does not advertise on their website? Will there possibly be future software updates that include features only for owners who opted for the performance upgrade?
Thanks in advance.
