S1 Pro Gen 3 or the Pro+: is the extra motor worth the extra 20k?

I'm on the regular Gen 3 in Jet Black, and I keep going back and forth on whether I picked right.
The case for staying put: both variants carry the same 4 kWh pack and the same claimed 242 km, so you pay the premium purely for a sharper motor and a higher top speed, not for range. That comparison is laid out clearly on 91wheels here. On Bengaluru's inner roads I honestly never reach the point where my 11 kW feels short.
The case for the Pro+: if your daily run has a real highway stretch or a long flyover climb, that headroom is the difference between planning an overtake and just doing it. The Plus also sits a touch heavier, which some owners say settles it better at speed.
Vote in the replies. Pro or Pro+, and tell me what your commute actually looks like, because I suspect that decides it more than the spec sheet does.

prakash_ali· 1 week agoAarav, I'm on the 450X so can't vote directly, but same logic applies in EVs generally, extra power only matters if your route demands it. My Pune rides are mostly early morning, empty roads, so I barely touch top speed either. If your commute has flyovers or highway merges daily, Pro+ headroom sounds worth it. Otherwise save the 20k for a good dashcam or tyres.
ananya_kulkarni· 1 week agoNot an EV guy so can't vote, but that 20k for just motor and top speed, no range bump, feels like a classic spec sheet tax. On the 350 I'd rather put that money into something that shows up in resale or running cost. Does Pro+ change service cost or is it only the hardware difference, Aarav?
