I am currently planning on getting the non-performance, but am thinking about the performance.
The 21" wheels are basically out of the question for me--too short a lifespan, summer performance only, and the higher cost.
So my choice is to either get the non-performance or, for about $10K more ($12K, actually) go with the performance and 19" wheels.
I can afford to pay cash for either car with plenty of emergency fund left over, but I am not wealthy per se--just have been saving up for a few years for this car. While I don't intend to take my S to the track, I would like to show off with it here and there, and impress friends to help sell them the fact that EVs are not golf carts.
I typically would think spending this much on a car is crazy, but I feel like I owe it to myself for having driven a crapmobile for the last 10 years. I also am lucky enough to have a job that pays just a bit into the 6 figures, and I have no debt other than my 3.25% mortgage and some of my wife's remaining student loans.
I know this isn't enough info about me to make a really good suggestion, but need some nudging one way or the other. Should I get the performance or not? And...how much will the 0-60 time be affected by using the 19" all seasons?
Edit: And how do I break this to the wife if I decide to go performance?!?
OK...thanks in advance, and...Unleash your opinions!
