Will I Miss the Model 5 Steering Ratio?

It appears the PIPs (even the $40K version) are not going to have the better, brushless motor EPS steering assembly that comes with the Model 5. Will people that have driven both version of the car please give me their comments as to whether this should be a major concern as I consider whether to order a PIP? Will this be a daily reminder that I just spent $40K on a car with far worse steering than what I already have, or merely a minor annoyance that it takes a bit more turning to get around the corners?

 

I was pleasantly surprised when I found out I had gotten tighter steering by buying the Model 5. When the 2010 came out, I remember several comments from people who had come from Gen IIs to non-5 Gen IIIs saying that steering around corners was taking a lot more turning of the wheel than they were used to i.e., that the steering ratio had gotten worse. Paradox, among others has confirmed that there is a definite difference between driving his model 5 and his dad's model 4 or 3. I'm just wondering how much I'll notice or miss the difference if I buy the PIP.

 

Surprisingly, those don't bother me. I wouldn't normally like a multi-spoked rim, but these have a strong and kinetic feel to them, and kind of reminds me of the electrical nature of the car. I wonder if that's what the designer was going for. Would not have been my first choice, but doesn't look that bad to me. I'm kind of tired of the heavy monolithic look of the model 5 rims.

 

As Tideland alluded to, it's just a convenience/luxury thing, not to have to turn the wheel so much to maneuver the car.

 

I thought the bigger turning circle was due to the bigger tires, to avoid rubbing the fenders. Seems likely that would be adjustable.
