I'm just about ready to press the order button for a P85+ but need a little more convincing. I take too long to make decisions in general and the suspension was my last one.
I had a chance to drive a P85+ but only on mostly smooth roads (was about 74 degrees outside) . It felt quite good and the pickup and handling is well known. I also had a quick drive in another P85+ but it had 21 inch snow tires and it was about 36 degrees outside. The noise was OK but the ride was a little on the rougher side maybe due to being cold and on snow tires, I don't know. So I'm concerned about the ride quality on roads that might be on the rougher side (not potholes). I still want to get another test drive before I accept.
How is the ride quality and noise levels in general on different types of roads? I have read a lot of posts but they were a mix of models with different tires/wheels not just the P85+. Also it is nice to get opinions of ones who have had the car a while and driven in different conditions.
Just a little background. I have a 2000 BMW 540iA and a 2003 SLK32 AMG. I was thinking of the Tesla to be more of a cruiser (decent ride quality) but if it ends up being about the same as my current cars that would be OK.
