As others have said its more fun to drive a slower car fast than driving a faster car slow.
You already have the insane exhilaration from the instant torque and acceleration of the Tesla (I have the same model), get the manual and actually enjoy a drive you might actually push relatively close to its limits.
Most of the people owning 400hp+ cars actually use that power over straights you already have that base covered.
I've been wondering how different the 992.2 T manual is from the 992.1 S manual? Anyone here driven both? My understanding was the shifter in the new T is a bit shorter, I think they just said they removed 7th, but also thought the gearing was a bit shorter in the new T as compared to the 992.1 S manual? Could be misinformed though. I guess that's another search.
I have. I'm not mechanically inclined or know the technical ins and outs enough to explain it properly, but I can tell you my thoughts and feelings as someone who loves cars. They are pretty different cars, though ironically (or not) closer to each other than the 992.1 T and S I thought. The 992.2 T is a little more "dialed in" and "refined" compared to its predecessor. I liked the 6 spd shifting more than the 992.1 iterations, though 992.1 is still great. But to me (and it will be very personal), it did run out of breath when you pushed on it. Same as the 992.1 T. I drove the 992.1 T and S manual back to back and immediately excluded the T. The 992.1 GTS turned out to be my golden boy and I'm glad I waited until one popped up that I really wanted. You really have to drive them to get a feel for them. Sometimes a few times, and even within the trims there is a lot of variance - though moreso with the 992.1 S/T/GTS with RAS, PDCC, SPASM, etc. The 992.2 T has RAS standard and you can't change the driving dynamics that much as I don't think PDCC/PASM options are there.
Spend some time test driving them, figure out what you want, and wait for it. It'll be worth it.
The 992.2 4GTS does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds from a very theatrical launch control feature. It's very fun! I still wanted to add 992.2 T that does 0-60 in 4.Whatever-I'm-probably-not-the-fastest shifter-anyway-seconds in a completely different arm/leg coordination workout.
These are different flavors of ice cream, both great. Chocolate doesn't beat vanilla every day. Sure, Oreo beats them both every day, but that's where my analogy blows up so we're gonna forget I mentioned the ice cream.
It can also be a lot of fun to drive a medium-fast car at medium-fast pace. And it can be fun to sit in a great looking car that's parked and make VROOM VROOM noises!
