About time to unveil the D and something else

[HankLloydRight]

Looks like the + has been quietly put out to pasture.

I just noticed that. How many bytes have we spilled talking about range, and here is a rather large improvement:

60kWh: 208->225 17 more miles, 8.1% more
85kWh: 265->295 30 more miles, 11.3% more
85kwhP: 265->275 10 more miles, 3.7% more

But holy cow, 295 EPA miles!!!!

They aren't EPA rated yet. Benefit would likely be greater at higher speeds so I don't expect to see all the bump in the ratings.

Is the AWD drive option priced incorrectly?

60 and 85 AWD option is $4K
P85 AWD option is $14k.





I see they pulled the price (AWD option) which might indicate that it was incorrect.

I'll guess that the nonPs lose the bigger rear motor, so the price drop accordingly.

I believe the price difference is because on the P85 AWD, it includes the tech package, smart air suspension, and 21" wheels in the price. On the 60 and 85 AWD they are separate options.

Anyone else notice the P85 shows 470 HP? I thought we had 414HP?

View attachment 61091

it always said 470 in motor power in the fine print spec but 416 on the order page. I think the 416 is some sort of battery minimum output. See how 60D and 85D have same motor power but different acceleration? battery power limits. when you accelerate in the P85 with full battery you see a lot more than 310 kW (416 hp) in the orange power meter

The price is shown only once you select 60 / 85 / P85.

The price is different as the motor added is different. (And for the performance version, it seems to auto-select additional features.)

I think the $14K P85 option is likely for a second hand-wound performance inverter (+10K).

Pause it at 1:31. Seems like a temporary camera/sensor underneath the side mirror.

That's a GoPro camera on a suction cup mount.

Black leather is now free. Parking sensors obviously gone and that cost is rolled into the new tech package.

I am stoked that non-P dual motor is only a $4k option. Since X pricing has been touted as similar to a comparably-equipped S and such a thing now exists, I may actually be able to afford my X when the time comes.

Also incredibly stoked about the 30 extra miles of range (to 295), as that gives me confidence that the X will maintain at least 265 or so.

I think tonight's announcements are full of win. And now we can await another big reveal when the X is unveiled, hopefully by end of year...

Thats an interesting dongle hanging there with a shadow to the rear, I expect it's noticed by forum members. Comments??

Front seats look different too. More side bolsters..

 

[Bobbyducati]

soooooo.... chances i can reconfigure my december delivery car???? PLEASE TESLA?????

Look close at the motors on the chassis the robotic arm is holding. The motors look different and the familiar inverter "cans" aren't seen.

 

[Krugerrand]

Will the Model S simply brake straight or will it be willing/able to move to the shoulder if there is not enough space or if the wheels are locking up?

If the engineers could design this car and all in the first place, I'm quite sure they've also thought of that scenario. If not, the code can very likely be added at a later date. I also believe that Elon said the driver could 'override' the car's decision, though it would not be easy. Kind of like when you lose power steering is my guess.

Do those protrusions in the rear seats fold down and have...cupholders?

 

[mai]

Hmm, so the Tesla site now advertises the 60 as having a 380 hp motor (equivalent to ~283 kW) - it originally advertised it as 225 kW (or 302 hp). I wonder if that's a typo....

 

[svp6]

And Tesla site down again - I guess we crashed it :biggrin:. Just when I was configuring my updated version....

 

[rtz]

I think the new cars have different motors and inverters in them now?

Doesn't look like any part of the rears fold down. Picture isn't the greatest though.
