The VIN hasn't specified battery size since sometime in 2015. The battery size spot in the VIN is now just always an E for electric.

Dinosaurs by then? The comet has already wiped them out, they just haven't figured it out yet.

It makes more sense for us since now my wife can go to Norfolk and back without supercharging, and we've nearly used up the battery a couple of times since we're sharing the car until our 100D arrives.
I'd pay $2k just to get rid of the annoying charge limit reminder - the 40 miles of range is a bonus.
Yes, unfortunately. Tesla just dropped the price of the 75 MS a lot, so you kinda took a hit. 60MS owners were spared IF we upgrade for $2K.
I think it's almost a forced upgrade for 60 MS owners. As others of said, not upgrading will cost as much at resale/trade-in time.

Damn women and that logic thing. My wife hits me with that all the rime. Hate it when she is right more than I am - and that is often the case.Woke up and saw the news and thought I would definitely buy it. Then I made the mistake of telling my wife about it.
Apparently, just because I have never needed the extra range in the 8 months I have owned the car means I shouldn't just immediately throw $2k at Tesla. Not pulling the trigger immediately, but it is very, very tempting. Without her throwing logic at me I would have already bought it.

I am in your same boat.
What about resale as an arguement though?
I would do it day before resale if I was sure they would never raise the price.. which I doubt they will so I should probably wait till at least the day of a long trip.

My wife is still asleep. She's snoozes, she loses.
Ask your wife about resale value. It's going to cost you $2K now or $2k when you try to resell the car. You might as well have the extra range. It will just cost you the interest on $2K in the long run, not actually $2K

Looks like they decreased the price of the 90D $2k relative to the 100D. But also added in the value of the glass roof and better charger to both. So you get the 100D at a $3k better value and the 90D at a $5k better value than before, and add to that the value of the power liftgate if you didn't want anything else in premium package.
At $5k savings I still see no reason to get the 90D instead of the 100D but it is slightly less ridiculous than the $3k difference it was before.

I just did the upgrade and it's already applied to the car. Now I can do the vast majority of the long trips I take with no charging or just one stop.

Envious of all you S60 owners. Suddenly the X60D upgrade price cut from 9,500 to 6,500 seems like a weak deal.
According to Electrek, Tesla put out an announcement that the higher-end model prices will rise in a few days, to give buyers a chance to anticipate the change.
Tesla’s least expensive vehicle is now the Model S 75 at $69,500 after overnight price drop & newly included options [Updated]
Does anyone know if the price for the luxury interior ("Premium Upgrades") package was changed to reflect the deletion of the power liftgate (because it is now standard)? The package is now $3500 but I am not sure what it was before the prices changes.
Hoping to keep the car for at least 8 years. She is too financially knowledgeable to fall for that trick in my specific situation

I looked at when I purchased my car (S60D, Dec 2016), and my premium package was $3000. I compared my build to what it would cost now, including the $2k upgrade, and I still come in $3k cheaper. Seems like I got a steal, and love my car, and will be upgrading very soon to 75!

For all of you girly men who are afraid to do the upgrade, just quietly pay the credit card bill next month and she'll never know. I guess I am lucky. It was my wife who weeks ago mentioned that we should watch for a much cheaper upgrade price when she heard the 60 was going away. Naturally I gave her credit for the upgrade last night.
