Coming back from a test drive, I had the option of testing several cars, but in the end, only took out a P85D (non ludicrous). I wanted to compare the feeling in performance of the 85D (non P) and the P85D.
The Tesla rep at the time said that if you don't put the P85D in insane mode, then the performance is pretty much the same as a standard 85D.
Of course, I tested both the P85D in standard (sport) mode and insane mode and whilst you can feel a difference, I'm trying to decide whether it's worth if for me to pay the large premium to get the P model.
Incidentally, I don't know whether I'd spend the more-on-top to get the Ludicrous mode. I understand that a P90DL is better than a P85DL (P85D upgraded afterwards to have ludicrous). I didn't get the chance to try ludicrous (they didn't have an upgraded P85DL or a P90DL to play with).
So, has anyone done any direct comparisons? Launching of both the 85D and the P85 in standard / sport mode to see whether there is a real difference? I would imagine there are slight differences as the P model sports the bigger motor...
