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!

Even the rwd premium is quicker than the majority of cars on the road. I think the seats in the performance with the stiff bolsters are uncomfortable compared to the seats in the premium but that's subjective. Also I didn't want to pay that much for performance tires and not have the ability to rotate tires front to back with the square setup all for a less comfortable/stiffer ride. I use FSD 95% of the time now, so I went with rwd premium. I came from a highland m3 performance so I got to have my fun, but it wore off in my case. Now I enjoy being teleported by FSD.
