Didn’t need it

The other day as I was driving my Tesla Model Y Performance I had a random realization come into my head. When I bought this car last year I thought upgrading to the performance model of the car was something I wanted. With 0-60 times of 3.5 seconds the car is a true rocket, faster than most conventional performance or muscle cars. My rationale was I could get this performance while maintaining my payment because of the 1.99% financing I got on the car. The reality is I hardly ever utilize that performance I paid more for.

Every Tesla is relatively fast already. Sure the performance version adds some other things like cooler, bigger wheels, better brakes and a rear spoiler but the visual change is not dramatic. In retrospect I think I would have been better served if I held off until the Model Y refresh came out which adds features that matter more to me than leaving cars in the dust during stop light to stop light drag races that I never really have. It’s just another example of how my priorities have shifted and mutated over the years.

Here is the first of several videos I will be making regarding the V12S
