OK, we've all seen the options and thought about it. I know that there are some who are still on the fence, waiting for more information. But as of now, which version are you going with?
Nothing like a good unscientific poll to spend some time.![]()

Much as I'd love the performance, I just don't think I can justify the extra $15K up front cost just to show off what it's capable of. I've managed quite well with an almost 11 second 0-60 time in my Prius for the past 8 1/2 years, I think 5.6 seconds will feel like a rocket compared to that! Also concerned about those performance tire costs on the 21" rims, I put about 15k miles a year on a car and don't want to be putting new tires on every year.
I'll probably upgrade to the aero rims, but otherwise staying pretty basic...maybe the upgraded head unit if I can't get XM through the basic audio system.

Definitely sig performance. As someone's sig says... If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!
I hear you about the tires. I'll need to switch to 19" all-seasons for at least four months of the year, so I'll be able to tell how much of a difference in ride and performance they'll be. The 21" wheels may end up on a rack in my garage or on eBay. We'll see.
Yep. When Elon announced the performance package in October, I was at the Tesla store the next day with my check to upgrade to Sig.I figured, if I'm going to go Sport, I'm going to get everything! (Well, except for the jump seats. No use for them.)

Good idea. Maybe save on sales tax as well if they lump it all together.
Since you're already paying for the 21" wheels and need 19" wheels anyway, could ask them how much it costs to add 19" winter wheels to your order and have it ship with the 21" wheels as you said. I can probably keep the 21" wheels on all year down here. Wouldn't mind it if they came out with 19" black sport wheels either though.
Well, I've gotten so addicted to the Roadster's acceleration, it's gonna have to be the Signature Performance.
Sig. Performance it is....
We did the whole standard car thing and then ended up with a pair of roadsters....
This time we are going to go with the "sport" right off the bat.
I can't freaking wait!!!!
As much As I would like to only get an 85 Kw model and save an extra 15K, I can't justify spending that much money on a car without getting the extras the performance comes with and showing what it is capable of
& I just got confirmation that I am a licensed Civil PE in CA as of today!
This is my present to myself! now If I could just find that $35K to add to my original deposit I would gladly be in the Sig performance group since I know I can cover the payments now
and like they say in Mythbusters as quoted by W.Petefish
summarized by me - go big or go home
