All, thank you in advance for your input.
I had made up my mind based on the forum and all the info gathered that I will pursue a PDM version of the r1s. This decision was primarily based on getting the maximum mileage since a dual motor option was not available for me at that time. Now I noticed that I have shop access and have access to all three variants of the R1S.
I am pasting below the screenshots I see when I look at the mileage of the three variants with the 21" tire option which also I decided based on maximizing mileage since I would have preferred the 22 inch more.
DM - 566kms w/21"
PDM - 548kms w/ 22" (can't see a config with 21" to get EPA) should be something lower than 566 and higher than 548kms since screenshot below for PDM is w/ 22"
QM- 516kms w/21" and 487kms w/22"
A question and an observation:
1) is it true that if I go with the QM and use conserve mode I can get the same mileage as the DM? (So would I get the 566 KMS on the qm model using conserve?)
2) there appears to be a small discrepancy in the PDM versus DM numbers. My understanding is that PDM gives you higher performance and therefore a lower mileage. In a QM model I loose 29kms going with 22 inch tires over 21 inch. If I assume that the loss of mileage is the same then a PDM model with 21 inch should be giving me 577kms (548+29) which would put this above the DM model. But this can't be true because DM should give better mileage than PDM correct?
#1 is the key deciding factor for me. #2 was just to get people thinking and doing some math and maybe there is a good explanation for this
