Damn...I thought the stage 2 R would be very close to the M3P. And yet you like your R more in how it drives?

This pretty much confirms I must have been lined up against the std Dual Motor one (Long range?). I was only on my EQT 91 Stage 2 tune w HPFP (IS38) at the time, which is not typical(usually on E40 tune). I wonder how my E40 EQT tune would stack up against the 3P model? I have to imagine once this Vortex on E40 and 535LPFP get thrown on in 2 weeks it would be no contest.

+1 I realize they are the future but just can't do it. I'm not at all interested at this point. Although seeing what's going down right now with the whole APR DP/stage 2 tune drama who knows...might force my hand sooner vs later

Same. There are a shitload of high HP cars way faster than a GTI anyway. You can't beat everyone.
At least there is some drama, uncertainty and a modicum of challenge in how your car (and your driving) performs from day to day.

Force your hand to get an electric car? Meh. You would be jumping the gun a bit, IMO. There is still plenty of time to enjoy the glory of the internal combustion engine.

Ha! Yes, you are right. I'm creating my own "drama" here.

I can't wait to make the switch. Electric power is super fun and really appealing to me.

I like the Tesla product but I really don't like the company, so I'm looking forward to what competitors come up with in the next few years.

Other than a beater pickup truck/SUV or potentially a full blown race car, I have no interest in owning an ICE car beyond the next 2-3 years.

The future certainly looks electric.
But there is still a lot of unanswered questions.
Resale
Battery longevity
Ethics of battery materials mining plus rare metals supply
Range-battery flattened by high speeds, wipers, air con, radio, etc
Re-charge points where you need them

Tesla has been selling EVs for 8 years. Most of these questions have been answered.

Would be nice to have options, so you could also have V-8, V-12 or even V-6 or Flat 4 sounds.
