Wait different seats? I thought they had the same seatsIt's the same car with different motors, a spoiler, different brakes, different seats, and CF instead of wood.
The exact same car.

They have piping on the seats, but almost the same.Wait different seats? I thought they had the same seats

It seemed you were confused. Maybe next time use more clear indications like /s.That was a rhetorical really.
When I read through a thread and answer a question that was answered previously mutliple times without first knowing it was answered, I use the delete option to remove my duplicate answer. You should consider doing this.

Obviously someone didn't know the Plaid seats had piping, so I don't see any reason to delete.
Again, you seem to not know the LR and Plaid seats are different.I was confused, and then it was resolved later on in the thread. You then answered the question that was already answered and then didn't delete your duplicate response. You were then confused by the fact that my response to your duplicate response was rhetorical and facetious.

The P85 had that nice red piping on the seats. My Long range doesn't of course. The new Plaid seats are the same?They have piping on the seats, but almost the same.

The new seats are so much more comfortable than the old ones from 2012.
Looks nice. I guess I could have ordered Plaid, just had to jump at the long range price. Will keep me happy for many years I'm sure. It's certainly quick.View attachment 1011813
Just around the edges, but still a small change from the LR seats.
Another difference is the perforation extends to the side bolsters on the plaid seats, the LR side bolsters are not perforated.View attachment 1011813

I don’t know know if it’s a plus or not, but it’s just another difference.Is that a plus? Seems like it would spread out airflow across surface areas you don't want to cool leaving areas that you want cooled with less airflow.
Tax edition MXLR will run you $72K after the $7500 tax discount and it has a tow hitch already.....but you have to pick gray.Hello everyone! First post here on this forum and figured that it would be better to post in this thread vs create a new one that is very similar...
I'm looking at used Model S's and also trying to decide between a Standard or Plaid.
Some relevant details that are pertinent to the subject...
- I regularly make 250 mile one way trips ~40+ times a year, including Wisconsin winters
- I occasionally pull a small trailer (6.5x10 or 4x8 single axle)
- Looking at 2022-2023's that have the heat pump due to the above winter travel and distance
- I have level 2 charging available at each end of the 250 mile trips
- There are Tesla Super Chargers located at ~25% and ~75% of the trip
- I tend to keep vehicles a long time - have 400k on my current vehicle
I really would like to have ~500 miles of range, keep the charge between 20% and 80% and still have some reserve for things like heat, A/C, snow/rain, detours, battery degradation, etc and not have to stop at a charger every trip.
But with ~400 miles of range, keeping the charge between 15% and 85% and having a super charger at 25% and 75% of the trip, I'm rationalizing that I can make this work for most trips without stopping at a charger or significantly reduce the life of the battery. For the times that I do need to stop at a charger, the battery will have a minimum of 1 hour to condition, (typically 3 hours) and I should be able to charge for <10 minutes to get enough range to comfortably make it to my destination.
The EPA range is practically the same 396 vs 405, but practically is the Plaid just as efficient (or not?) as the standard when driving normally?
I've been reading and reading trying to educate myself - There's no practical reason to get a Plaid, but why not have the most powerful thing out there ?
I think your biggest issue is the towing. You’re going to have to go to a MX I believeHello everyone! First post here on this forum and figured that it would be better to post in this thread vs create a new one that is very similar...
