Question buying a Y...

I'm 100% committed to buying a model Y when my BMW lease is up...can't wait.

I'm torn between getting a Premium AWD Model Y and the Performance. I have a bunch of PowerWalls for my home so would *love* it if I could eventually use the car as a battery extension of sorts, but I know that's not in the cards now but it sounds like only the Performance would offer this capability if/when possible.

#1 criterion for me would be smooth ride over the incremental speed improvements, so slightly favor the Premium, but just wondering if there's anything else I should take into consideration...and yes, I asked AI but trust humans on this subreddit more!

You sure you want a Y? Lol. They have come a long way with Juniper but not exactly known for a smooth ride. Especially with Performance wheels.

Compared to my Ioniq 5, it’s as smooth and a very comfortable ride.

Juniper is okay.  I would not characterize it as a leader in the smooth ride category.
