Tempting, but I think I will wait for the fully autonomous (capable) P110Q. I threw in the word "capable" because I am sure Tesla will be there long before regulations allow it.
Tesla is often called more of a tech company than a car company, so it stands to reason that they will follow their dual core with a quad core. I wouldn't expect a quad motor system to add much to acceleration, but it could provide significant handling improvements, particularly if coupled with 4 wheel steering. Imagine a system that can rotate the wheels a different speeds or even different directions at low speed. Anyone ready to turn on a dime? The control system would be challenging, but Tesla programmers are better equipped to handle that then anyone else. Four motors could also improve heat dissipation, (another allusion to microprocessors).
That being said, if, God forbid, something happens to my baby before then, I know what I would order...
