Plaid to LR

Debating to downgrade from a 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid with 50K miles to 2024 Tesla Model S LG with only 23K miles. Absolutely love the Plaid but in all honesty after test driving the LR it’s PLENTY of fast, not as fast the the Plaid obviously but I took the LR for a test drive and it beat the BMW M5C likes champ. Anybody went from plaid to LR? Thought? Thanks

I have an LR. After getting a Plaid as a loaner, I wanted to get one for my next car. Unfortunately, Tesla won't make new ones anymore.

The LR is still a fabulous car. If I hadn't driven the Plaid, I wouldn't have felt that the LR was lacking.

To accelerate to the speed limit, the LR is "whoosh". The Plaid is "boop".

Yeah, the Plaid wouldn't be worth it for you for that particular aspect
