This is a big part of why I lease my Tesla (the only car I've even done that with). Keeps me under control! I basically can't upgrade even if I want to.

370 miles of range!!!!!!!!

Well... technically you can. It'll just cost you. I've got my under lease, and expect to upgrade early whenever the interior (and hopefully battery) upgrade comes out.
There are several reasons. The wiring to the chart port is likely one. I'd say the new cooling system, but you imply that it's not changed. Where did you read that?

This is where I'm at.
That said, 370 miles is significant. I always told my wife that if they get to 400, I'm gonna upgrade (currently driving a May 2014 S85 with free lifetime SpC that shows 255 rated miles on a full charge - 3.8% degradation in 5 years). On our road trips I rarely drive more than 400 miles in a day, so I'd be willing to give up free supercharging for the possibility of destination charging most of the time and faster supercharging, gen 2 (or later) seats, FSD, the new air suspension, etc.
So while this is a welcome development, I'm gonna wait for the interior refresh, for the addition of the 2170 cells, and hope they don't go to the single landscape Model 3 screen.

Yeah, he's said a lot of things over the years that turned out to be not so accurate.

The difference between the net cost of "upgrading" to a Ludicrous 2019 Performance Model S ("P100D") and our Ludicrous 2015 P85D+ in DOLLAR$ is HUGE. Easy decision. We'll wait for a QUANTUM LEAP Model S upgrade.
Oh and we'd lose our P85D+ "unicorn" Plus Suspension, rear Next Gen (Recaro) seats, lifetime Supercharging. 8-(

With the million mile battery, internal refresh and possible external refresh and $7k tax rebate bill coming, who would be pressed to trade in their car for a little more range? Kudos to Tesla, but still doesn’t beat the eMPG of the Hyundai/Kia compliance SUVs.
I have over a year left of warranty on my 75D and the 240 miles range is fine. But with a refresh of the rest of the Model S, I might reconsider with a higher tax rebate and free Ludicrous.

I’m in the UK and I’ve got a P100DL on order. Should I cancel and reorder now?
I ordered mine when the price dropped as low as it’s been so for the same model now would be an extra £12k~. Currently I’m thinking I should stick with what I’ve got but interested to get someone else’s thoughts.

He said there are no immediate plans to, which is definitely not the same thing.

I cancelled my first order, reordered a new car and had them transfer the deposit. It was on the exact date they bundled PUP, subzero etc together and I wasn’t told on the day and they got me to order the old car so I did have a specific reason.
Read the return policy for the first time and it certainly seems to be possible to cancel order / return a car within 7 days after the delivery, on no questions asked basis. My S has been in transit from Fremont to a port for over three weeks now and I think it'll likely be June before it'll be delivered to me. Considering already issued tech upgrades and obviously soon coming interior update the order-cancellation is getting very tempting.
Return Policy
A few weeks ago I traded our S 60 for an inventory P100D for $78k before incentives. There were many around that price. It had about 2,500 miles but I would have had put that many miles on the car in about 7 weeks anyway. Otherwise the same as new early 2019.
Even with the free ludicrous, increased range, v3 support and suspension improvements I would still take the deal we got over the recently improved S.
I'm in the same boat but my options codes on MyTesla are showing that I have been upgraded to the new motor, suspension etc so I think you should be lucky to have paid the lowest possible price but will receive the new upgrades anyway.

Most of time around 70 with everything running normal. Did nothing to increase range. Maybe someone at TESLA could tell you what they did. There are very few Tesla’s in my area but there must be other people that got the increase in the hurricane area.
