About time to unveil the D and something else

[pgiralt]

Any idea what the comment Elon made yesterday about "it always being there" was all about? Any chance the front motor can be retrofit onto any existing Model S?

The 85D models start being delivered to buyers in December. The other AWD models, 60D and 85D, arrive in buyers hands in February. ??????????

I share the same confusion.

Does suggest we'll get pricing tonight, tho

Comment of the night on livestream: "Elon can't find his D". Lol. That's certainly a good reason for being late.

Probably just the handful of MS that delivered the past few weeks with all the Drive Assist hardware already installed.

For those following at home, we are still waiting for Elon to kick this event off.

I think he said something about it "already being there" (not always). I think he meant the cars with the new sensors there.

one of the comments on the stream: "They're hungry for the D" hahahahaha.

as dual motors is standard on the MX and we already know around what the pricing is going to be, I would expect the dual motor version of the model S only to be around a $5-$8k option. not another $50k....who do you think they are? saleen? LOL

Yeah, I guess I was thinking that the base price would be a P85+ and didn't realize that it will also be offered in S85 and S60 variants.

The comments on the livestream are pretty funny! I just wish the video quality was better, and the guy would quit sticking his thumb in front of the camera.

given the extended range benefits I would love to see them make this the new standard. I mean you lose all of like .5 cu in in the frunk, for what you gain I don't think anyone would care.

 

[mrdoubleb]

Yeah... only an hour late so far. Not like I woke up at 4am for this or anything... :tongue:

could be worse, you could have no stream.

There is still a long line up of people waiting to get into the event. It is getting pretty packed in here.

I'm just hoping the guy's battery doesn't die before the show starts.

I can imagine Elon making a snide comment about USAToday leaking the announcement.

That is, if he ever shows up tonight.
