    P85D vs 85D + $30k

    P85D Pros - 691HP - 21" super cool tires and rims (they are not fragile--I've owned them) - Black seats--only color to get anyways because they are cool - The baddest Tesla made - Sports ride which is what one wants in sports car with 691HP - It's faster than **** Enough said.

    P85D vs 85D + $30k

    Cool factor is worth it alone :cool:

    Is it time for Tesla to do traditional model years?

    What's silly is the D is coming out in Dec of 14, and any delivered this year will be '14, one day later on Jan 1, you have a 15--same car. You have a year old car within a day...when you go to sell it's a '14 period. Taking a full years depreciation for a few days/weeks. Not good.

    P85D - NEW Seats Announced - Finally!!

    Makes complete sense to me.
  5. texex91

    Hearing about the D just 9 days after taking delivery of P85+ merits a switch!!!

    LOL...not their issue. Car companies do not tell customers exactly when new cars are coming out...buyer beware. They want to sell what they have and no need to inform the consumer. Good luck with your letter :rolleyes: And yes, your car will tank pretty quick in depreciation...the joys of...

    Front License Plate on the D

    Yes, it's called having a reflective area for police to shoot their radar.

    Trade In for P85?

    Not surprised. From my own experience selling (P85+) the resale of Tesla is pretty bad (again milage will vary on how, who, when, what, etc you sell).

    P85D - NEW Seats Announced - Finally!!

    Great shot of them--thanks for sharing. Certainly more supportive than current version. Great news indeed :cool:

    P85D+ Ordered CT

    Wow not good. I've noticed they are not even wrapping cars before shipping anymore. Open carriers no wrap...yikes. Not that wrap would have helped this, as it happens more often than people know, but I remember when they shipped in enclosed carriers :-) Drivers of the carriers that transport...

    P85D ordered....Minneapolis delivery Dec!!

    One advantage S85D owners will have is there's will be a 2015, P85D Dec orders will be 2014's. Also, who knows by Feb there may be more goodies added to it--that's 5 months away.

    Disappointed with the D unveiling

    It's not worth nothing...you can probably resell the charger and get something :biggrin: JK

    P85D - NEW Seats Announced - Finally!!

    Thanks for that shot--would be great if anyone has front seat. But to your point doesn't look too different, except side bolsters, which is nice.

    Thoughts on the All Wheel Drive Option for the 85 vs. the Standard Single Motor?

    Yep I'm glad they are changing them--just wish they posted a pic or showed them.

    Did you feel that? The rapid acceleration of depreciation of your P85

    Hey Brian---with these new options and goodies it's hard not to buy one (plus need a tax credit for this year LOL!). I think the new seats are going to be awesome--just wish they had a pic of them online!

    Did you feel that? The rapid acceleration of depreciation of your P85

    Yep just like any car when the newest shiny version comes out. I took at bath when I sold my P85+ last year before this one, I'm glad I did now. Think I'll order a p85D--it looks sweeeeeeeet (plus NEW seats finally!)

    P85D - NEW Seats Announced - Finally!!

    Well Telsa may have won me back with the p85D--AWD and lighting speed! BUT, went to configure and saw this golden nugget--NEW "NEXT GENERATION" SEATS! Unfortunately no pics :confused: Here's a screen shot from configurator:

    Hey NoMo! I've heard something of the same regarding AWD, that's why I want to see if it happens, and hey a larger battery would be awesome too (but might be swayed on AWD alone). For me it's all about the handling of the car with AWD vs RWD, not a weather issue (being in Texas). Exciting...

    2013 P85+ trade-in value at local BMW

    False--but nice try...take care. I love Tesla and never bash it (I was merely mentioning that one aspect of it could be improved--car as a whole is great). Would be nice to have a 400-500 range battery, so I could travel round trip to a Texas destination (Dallas or Houston) without stopping...

    AWD orders?

    That is box one for me--and I know they will do it soon (or at least it would be silly if they didn't). Now just stick that 400-500 mile range battery Elon mentioned this week in, and the factory would be backordered for 6 months minimum. Good problem to have...

    Mmmm, well I can't take it for what it's worth. B&O and top end 3D Burmester (pls check your spelling) will kill any after market system no matter the price. Notice, I never mentioned Meridian--they are NOT that great a system, hence they are in Range Rover's. Good luck with you Range Rover...

    Shipping Your Tesla Cross Country

    My only suggestion is to use an actual carrier--DO NOT use a broker, it's a nightmare. I've had luck with Plycar shipping several of my high cars (very good enclosed) and should run about the price you stated.

    Drive Unit Replacement Poll

    Wow, I had no clue this serious issue even existed. Just read an article in Seeking Alpha on it. Could have serious fanancial implications over time for Tesla. Hope they get their act together on this defect.

    Well, I agree with your latter statement of finding places they can control. Ticketed--not going to happen, not a handicap spot or other legally enforceable offense to be ticketed. And I think police these days have more important things to do than that! Let's see, I want a cop to go to a...

    Wow, the paranoid factor is way TOO high for me on this thread...give it rest guys. Most people don't know or care about Tesla drivers. No conspiracy going on.

    What, I'm shocked! And to set the record straight, I didn't trade it for the RS7, I've had three other cars since the sale LOL :biggrin: All's good. Hopefully Tesla will have some of these upgrades I'm looking for in Q4 or more likely Q1 of '15. Me likey the P+!

    You're correct, I shouldn't have used the word fact. MY very humble apology. HOWEVER, IF you actually have owned both, then it would be a informed opinion. However, I'd be willing to bet that spec to spec it's a fact :biggrin: Just curious, have you heard a high end B&O in a car? Just...

    Well I certainly cannot explain my car buying sickness to most, so I can see how it would be hard for many to believe one buys so many cars. However, I know there are plenty of folks like me out there. As far as forums go, once I lock in on something I like, I do "tend to burst on a forum"...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Good luck. You really will not know until a few days before delivery. There can be all sorts of things that can delay shipment on a truck from CA. Just know once they tell you truck is in Texas, that's when I would start to believe a more concrete date. i.e. no way you can plan business...

    Actually you would be surprised, most import lots will wholesale most trades (even other high end brands). Tesla or not, it probably would not stay on the lot unless it was the same brand they sell (and even then it's a big if). And I did list my P+ directly also when I was selling, and got...

    2013 P85+ trade-in value at local BMW

    Thank you for the honest and constructive feedback. Regarding the stereo, I could not agree more. When you get into $100K+ cars, people want a great high end system (brands I mentioned before) and are more than happy to pay for it. Those merely defending the 'upgraded' system, and have never...
