Dammit. You stole my spec...

I've had both PS4 and PS4S and wore out both tires around 10k. PS4 tires are really really good and PS4S are only slightly better in dry grip...both have very high limits for street tires. I doubt any all-seasons come close to that level of dry grip. The PS4 All-seasons don't hold a candle to...

On Cars.com, I see a Recurrent score that estimates battery health. It may not be super precise but would think it would give directional information on battery health. I think over time, this type of analysis would be expected on all EV used cars.

and lower capacity. They really need to lower the price on the LR...

As you said, thats kinda TBD. I could see the new M3P doing better on a short track. Lets see how it goes.

As a daily driver, feel is all that matters. Most people don't track their cars but they "feel" their drive every day. Not everyone cares for a Model S which may be faster by x seconds on a track but feels like a boat and to extract fast times, you brute force your way through every corner...

Kyle was just on the Motortrend podcast. Jonny Lieberman was very complimentary to Kyle's track driving and said he can really boogie so thats pretty good praise. Kyle used to own his own track when he was living on the east coast so probably has a ton of seat time pushing the limits.

The legacy M3P (especially early ones) were stiff but handled pretty decently. Twitchy as hell and a little unsettling over bumps but you could really brute force through corners 😁 I like extra stiffness in the suspension so I would like to try it out and see what the different settings...

I think it’s faster through the entire range. Just has a similar curve.

The motors are different. The 2018/19 models shared the same motor. They switched sometime in 2019 or 2020 to a different motor.

I wanna see if they make battery improvements for the new Junioer Y. Figure it would carry over to the Performance 3 if that happens.

Yeah. I’m planning to upgrade next year and am hoping battery improvements come by then. Also, will try to be opportunistic and jump on a low interest rate offer if they provide one.

Its off the chart everywhere. Nothing comes close anywhere in terms of speed to value.

Haha. I know it's first world problems but $150k a year is near poverty level in so-cal :D of course I'm half kidding but I wish there was a Ludicrous trim to make it even more desirable.

True but at the same time, it’s not a great value from a resale perspective if you don’t qualify for the tax credit. I’m going to have to weigh options as I know that as soon as I buy the car, it could potentially be less $7500 right off the bat. First world problems 😁
