    New to Tesla: 2016.5 Model S P100D

    Congrats! You got a killer deal! I paid more that 2x for a similar car two years ago and I still love it! I WILL upgrade to a Plaid someday. Regarding the sound system, Check out the NVX subwoofer kit on Amazon. It made a world of difference to my base sound system.

    How "rattly" is the Plaid?

    My 2017 MS doesn't rattle.

    The 2 Best Days In a Plaid Owner’s Life

    I'm sorry that you had a horrible ownership experience. I still want a Plaid. When my P100D grows up...it's gonna be a Plaid:cool:

    Need help tapping into a 12v reverse wire; adding brighter reverse light

    Yeah, I ran a wire through the liftgate through an existing hole and tapped into one of the reverse lights. I think...i can't remember. I used this license plate light bar found on amazon. It's pretty bright! I need to rig up some kind of glare shield because it's so bright that it messes...

    I want to go from my P100D to a plaid(new or used) but should I wait for 2024?

    The used Plaid prices are so tempting! But that also means that the prices that we can sell our P100D's for will also be lower. I would like to wait until used Plaid's w/ "track mode" enabled hit the market.

    wh/m - P100DL?

    I have the same car as you do, '17 P100D, and my avg. wh/m is similar ~ 415-425. My wife's '22 MYLR gets ~ 300 wh/m. Our older cars are just less effficient than the newer Teslas.

    2018 P100D vs 2019 Performance (raven) which to buy?

    The raven versions have adaptive suspension. Although, I have read mixed reviews about it.

    Mine has them, too. Not worth $1,000 option cost.

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    This is my situation exactly. I bought my ‘17 MS P100D w/ 16,xxx miles for $73k two years ago, which was a decent deal at the time. The Plaid was launched a few months later at $129k. They are now priced at $89k, but my P100D is only worth $45-50k. it would still cost me ~$50k w/ taxes to...

    2020 model S long range plus versus 2019 performance

    I would go for the performance version. Ludicrous mode is fun. Check out this article and watch the video: Tesla Model S P100D vs. 100D: Is it worth the extra $36k to upgrade?

    Used Model S vs New Model Y

    I have a 17 model s p100dl and the wife has a 22 MYLR. I love my MS w/ Ludicrous mode, but 80k miles is a lot. I would go with the new MY.
