True, as long as it's not the base price, it's fair game.Could easily increase the price of the Comfort Package.

Yes.I haven't looked so they did in fact raise the base price by $2K?
Yes but only on the 60.I haven't looked so they did in fact raise the base price by $2K?
Although not officially confirmed, the general consensus on the base price increase is because the take-rate and amount of upgrades to the 75 were not what they had predicted. Since all 60s have the 75 battery anyway, they were probably not hitting the margins so they needed to offset that some.Man, they sure have been nickel and diming the past few months. Increases with AP1, PUP, rear seats, all sorts of stuff.
The rear seat increase was an odd one. Didn't that go up $2000? I don't believe there was any design change to warranted that. Guess they just wanted to increase the margins.
I never felt that an additional 40 miles was worth $8500.Although not officially confirmed, the general consensus on the base price increase is because the take-rate and amount of upgrades to the 75 were not what they had predicted.

Agree 100%.I bought my new tesla model s 60 as a political statement for what I believe in. I just got the base car and have already put 2500 miles on it. I used the Alliant 6 year 1.49% financing and got a $1000 referral off and got the doc fee of $1200 waived.
The car is not a luxury car. I enjoy both the safety and the battery power in the fact I am not burning fossil fuel.
I got the rwd as my understanding is it is a solid drive train that has been proven. And if I need to increase the range from 210 to 249 miles I always have that opportunity which means the full potential is very close to what an 85 kilowatt version could do 4 years ago.
I think the model s 60 is the best deal of the Teslas and if you can get the alliant financing deal that is the way to go. In 4 years I'll make the decision whether to keep the car or trade it in. If I keep it I would opt for the 4 year extended warranty as there are expensive parts like the door handles and screen that could break. Also, now is a great time to buy cause you will get the autopilot 2.0 hardware and will have the free supercharging for life before the $2000 price increase happens.
If you go on long road trips a lot, then I would recommend if you have the funds to get the 90 kilowatt battery.
Good deal steveho. I could have done that...and I would have liked it. I reacted to all the bitching about the seats. The DC thing is for quick turn arounds. I intend to put 100a in the garage for 1 or eventually 2 evs. If I didn't go with this config, yours would have been the logical choice. Again the Pano roof is just because.... I get it.@Hrhkee I wish I stayed under $70k. My config:
S60D, pano, blue, EAP.
$71,700 is what shows on my configuration (after tax rebate) but including destination. So $70,500 if you don't include destination.

Do make sure to turn down whatever else is running from the remaining circuits when charging 2 cars. At 40A each, charging will consume 80A of the 100A available. So the remaining breakers (which together max out at 80A) will only have 20A available until at least 1 car stops charging, which could be hours later.@Hrhkee Pano... Something i could live without. I actually wanted the full glass roof, but thought most people like sunroofs. I don't but whateves.
I added 2 50A NEMA14-50's in my garage [...]I'll never need to add anything more to the garage. Bottom 2 are the 50A circuits.
Have you considered the HPWC Gen2 (latest available today) which will auto-balance up to 4 Tesla's on whatever circuit you give it? You set the max total current and it will auto- balance between the cars. It is $500 per car, but would solve your problem without you having to run out in the middle of the night and dial cars up and down.@whitex I plan on staggering the charging. It's a problem because my house is only 100A in total, and the garage is on a 90A breaker in the main panel. So when I have 2 electric cars, I'll stagger, or I'll dial down.
