You make some very valid observations. However, not everyone here is interested in facts - for example current car comes with AP which it didn't in 2018 OR that there is still a partial tax credit OR that most people didnt write to Tesla to get $5K back and will get negligible SC value out of...

You can look at my spreadsheet above to do the full math. You're welcome to post your own itemized spreadsheet and we can compare and contrast. I always like well reasoned (and well intentioned) discussions. I'd be the last person to cry over what we I spent. However facts are still facts and...

Hate to tell you my friend but it's your math that is totally wrong. Below is actual and exact math, check the table below for itemized detail: 2018 buyer: 3P, PUO, Blue color, white interior, EAP + FSD: $ 88.7K out the door 2019 buyer today: identical specs as above, $ 72K out the door. So I...

I'm in the same boat as you. I paid $16K more for my 3P than today's price for the exit same car. I am still fully supportive of Tesla driving prices lower to benefit more and more people and like you I don't feel like I am owed anything. I just don't get people who attack with statements like...

Unlikely at that price IMO. $2K buys you ~half the unlock. Full unlock will be $4-5K if they ever offer it. FWIW, the delta between the AWD and the P- was $11K when I bought my car a year ago (original order for AWD, upgraded to P- right after my test drive and then + shortly thereafter; total...

No processing power is needed to display something it already sees. It could just be a software fork (which purportedly happens with this release) so that the branch for HW2.5 does not have the show come implemented. Or just disable because it’s not as reliable. Or maybe they want to test it in...

Chill should be much worse, in the 7-8 second range.

The capacity and miles shown after charging do not indicate battery health. It’s what the algorithm determines to be ideal range, and as algorithms go, it will have inaccuracies. That’s why 90% charge can show 281, then 269 after a few weeks and then show 272 after another few weeks. It doesn’t...

How did he test the power? 420KW equates to 563 HP

Does nobody here realize that the car shows projected range based on an algorithm. Doesn’t mean there’s been a range loss over time or that you are actually getting less range than you purchased. Secondly, what you actually get, let’s say 10% less than rated, is more reflective of your driving...

How long to do 129mph?

If you look at stopping mode, it says range should increase. "The HOLD mode maximizes range and reduces brake wear by continuing to provide region braking at lower speeds than 5mph". Doesn't say how much.
