If speed doesn't matter at that point, why are we even discussing a TM3P instead of a regular LR, which starts a good 15k quid below an optionless I Pace?
Which is why I went for the LR, as much as the 18yr old in me wanted a car that went 0-60 in 3.xx seconds with my usage I just couldn't justify it.
Indeed. Sure I would have done the same at current/recent prices as the uplift to the Performance is an absolute joke now IMHO and makes it a very rare car to see new on UK roads. Think I've only spotted a single example with the newer Uberturbine wheels out on the road despite them being standard fit for the past 6-12 months.

hehe

I went for a MS 100D, the "P" would have added 12k EUR to the bill. As much as little boy in me wanted it, couldn't justify it.

Oh, I agree. But that defeats the point of the question asked imho. I think the Model S is a marvelous car to drive at 8/10, a pace at which most cars would struggle to keep up with it, but does that somehow make it as competent a car as the Model 3?

Dunno, I nuked that Model S, huge derate and fans at full chat. My Honda Insight would have kept up I reckon biggrin
