I hope the improved seats will be an option on the non-p version. It's unclear what those are. I also assume leather seats includes the seat heaters. I didn't see that called out.

It's going to be the Model X that gets the interior "just right" as far as conveniences. I can't remember where I heard it, but I think that someone from Tesla had publicly stated that Model X was designed to be more family friendly than the S.
Did anyone get pictures of the Frunk on the D? Someone mentioned only the microwave is missing. I really use the frunk space a lot on road trips and just losing the microwave would be okay as long as the rest of the frunk space remains.
I just got a response from the Tesla delivery specialist. I was also slated for December delivery, you can change your order. I do not know yet if this impacts the delivery date.
In the big scheme of things, the D is not that much more than the 85+: 14600 vs 6500 for the "+" package AND the leather seats included (count them as either 1500 or 2500). SO 5K more for AWD - similar to the other models. Worth it in my opinion.

Can anyone clarify the change in horse power?
I have an S85 and currently it says on TM Design Center 0-60 5.4 and 380 HP. I think when I purchased mine it was 0-60 5.4 but lower HP. How is that?

So what's the goodness that would justify a purchase price delta of $25K-$30K between the P85D and a well-optioned S85D? There's the obvious 'Wow!' factor inherent in lots more hp and insane performance; but beyond that, where's the value proposition? New seats? Cyclone wheels? What else?
Yea, were I buying now with the money I had then, I'd probably go that route. 5.2 is pretty darn quick and 295 mile range vs 275.
I can't fathom why anyone would buy the P now without the AWD option though. That seems pointless....and describes my current car
The P85D comes pretty well optioned out of the box.
S85 + tech + air + wheels = 99,070.
P85D includes all above = 120,170
So the difference is really $20k, not $25k-$35k.

I've been a lurker and a Tesla enthusiast for years, but I am just finally creating an account. As an IT Manager, something like Tesla makes me full of glee. These new improvements are remarkable and I'm going to end up buying one. As soon as I stop working in the non-profit sector
I'll probably have to wait for the Model 3, but the AWD and autopilot are going to be a must. I'll also be changing my name to Michael Knight :biggrin:

I felt that way about the difference between the S and the P and the P+.
But there is to me a difference when your talking around 3.5 or below. From time to time (and at the moment), I miss the Roadster acceleration. Not that I could use it much but there is a real thrill when the number gets really low and the car stays level. I would definitely need to test drive the D first. Really trying to not think about it as it is $25K or so difference and the value of a trade-in etc....

1. Open two browser windows to Design Studio.
2. Split-screen so you can look at both at the same time.
3. On the left, click (Cash), (P85), (Dual Motor), and (Show selected options).
4. On the right, click (Cash), (85), (Dual Motor), and (Show selected options).
Observe the differences:
- $120,170 vs. $85,070
- Performance
- 4500 - 21" Grey Turbine Wheels vs. 19" Wheels
- 1500+ - (next generation seat in Leather) vs. Black Textile Seats
- 1500 - White Alcantara Headliner vs. Textile Headliner
- Tesla Red Brake Calipers
- 4250 - Tech Package With Autopilot
- 2250 - Smart Air Suspension
(Note that the seat for P85D is indicated in the "Interior" panel at the top.)
Tallying up the cost to option up the S85D (the numbered ones in my list) adds $14,000 - bringing it to $99,070.
So the $21,100 buys you: Performance, next generation seat, Tesla Red Brake Calipers. Unless I screwed up somewhere.
Hope this helps.
The fact that it's $50k more than my current Model S and about $100k more than my previous car will go a long way to help me resist. That said, I'm excited to think about the fact that many of those features and performance characteristics will be on my wife's Model X when we get that next year.
