Coming from a Tesla, there is more motor noise, but it's not very loud. The regen is definitely stronger than the Tesla, which I like. Just takes a little getting used to. More regen = more energy recaptured.

Depending on your needs, there aren't very many options yet. My estimate is also Apr-June 23, Jan 19 Res holder.

January 2019 Res holder. Phoenix area.

So the plastic "sides" in this picture is on both the standard and the reinforced underbody? If that is the case I'm not upgrading.

Yes, I'm with you on that one. I held off on the LE because I was hoping a max pack option was in the cards. Now I'm pushed back in line with many others I suppose. I think the "mid" large pack will be fine, especially when the charging next work catches up. Just don't trust the non Tesla...

268-284 miles is based on 100% charge down to 0%. REAL WORLD is more like 80% (because the last 20% takes a long time to charge) to like maybe 10%. So you would be lucky to get 200 real world miles.

It's hard to say. Each motor has 208hp and 225lb-ft of torque. so that should easily push it down the hwy. With only 2 motors sucking electrons, it just seems like it would be a decent improvement.

Another consideration is rolling weight. I put on light weight 20" forged aluminum wheels on my Tesla model 3 and get almost the same range as the stock steel 18" rims that are narrower. My 20" rims weigh the same as the steel 18" rims, 23lbs.

Are you replacing your model X or is the R1S an addition?

Yes, that's a good question. Of course we hope that the EPA was with 4 motors, and with 2 motors it will be at least 10%-15% better. We should now more in a couple months with real world range tests using conserve mode driving at highway speeds.

I might hold the record for changing the configuration the most times. Back and forth between the R1S and R1T. I went for max pack, so Jan+ group. I will need to test drive / get more feedback before deciding. Leaning towards the 22 sport because 95 percent of my driving will be on the road.

180 pack R1S here also. Which means maybe 300mi range on the road if you're lucky. Same math as others 90%-10%, plus more loss if traveling over 70mph, cold weather, rain etc.... I have a Tesla now so I know the drill.
