Hello All!
I am receiving my Tesla in about 2 weeks after 3 years of waiting for this moment. Very excited! I landed on the S85 and like some it was more due to the fact that I was already spending way too much on a car purchase then I was comfortable with. Even though I don't feel like changing to a performance due to cost, there is still one thing that scratches at my brain today.
You see I never got to drive the S85 and frankly extreme acceleration isn't the most important thing to me. But the thought has crossed my mind how it would compare to the performance model, as I have only test driven the performance. Now, I have seen threads where it talks about drivers who got the S85 and tested out the P85 and saw that most were happy with their purchase decision. I was hoping to make a more granular thread about the S85 and how it lived up to expectations or failed on some levels.
Did you purchase the S85 with only driving the P85? Do you now regret the decision based on the performance of the two vehicles? Or do you love that you went with the S85? Why did you go for the S85 and not the P85? Was it TOO fast? Was it a money constraint? Were you concerned about the difference in torque and were ultimately more then happy with the S85? Or were you disappointed and plan on upgrading?
A car purchase of this magnitude, obviously people are going to defend their purchasing decision to the grave, but with not much to compare it too for me something like this will help me put my mind at ease. Again its not a buzz kill to me, I will still be excited no matter what. I am assuming the P85 is mind blowingly fast, I drove it after all, and I am assuming the S85 is not-as-fast-but-still-super-torquey.
I wish I could be knocked unconscious for two weeks so I didn't have to experience all this waiting!
