75DUncorked vs 100D

I Ordered Model X 75D two weeks ago, waiting for late December delivery. But been thinking of switching my order to 100D. I would receive 100D sooner, first week of December. Only thing that is stopping me is the higher price haha.
I just dont know if i can justify it, new uncorked 75D is now as fast as the 100D. Only difference is the range. 60 Miles of extra range is nice, but not something i would need. Living in San Jose my commute is relevantly short. Maybe once a week to San Francisco (50 Mile one way). I cant see myself driving more than 150 miles in a day. Unless i am driving to LA but then both 75D and 100D would need to stop and charge. I might save 30 min with 100D (one less stop).
Now the question, will 100D receive a significant bump in performance to distinguish it from the 75D. Lets say 4s 0-60. I would then certainly change my order. Currently cant justify paying 18,000 dollars for pretty much identical car with only 60 more miles of range.
 
I had the same discussion in my mind for my model X. I ended up with the 75D. True range is king, but I couldn't justify $18k to claim that title. For bay area driving, 75D is more than enough - and even enough to make a day trip to big sur and back etc.
 
I wish there was a performance delta. I want to buy 100D but just dont see the point, its pretty much identical cars with one having more range. But i dont need more range. Maybe the 100D motors are not able to produce more power to get better numbers?

Watching Dragtimes video of a Model S100D doing a 0-60 in 3.6 seconds vs the claimed 4.1 seconds (half a second). Tesla gave a significant boost.
But reading other threads it doest look like Model X 100D has any more speed after the update. Claimed time 4.7 seconds is what users are getting? People should see the same boost (half a second). 0-60 times should be around 4 sec.
 
Atleast one owner already logged a 3.8 0-60 with his uncorked 75D so we’re talking a couple fractions of a second—marginal.

Personally the difference becomes wholly a range thing and isn’t quite the performance disparage that the corked 75 was vs 90/100D.
