Anxiously waiting an AWD review / videos

[Deuce24]

Thanks for sharing that. What are you using for total KWH and are you assuming 100% charge to determine the 275mi range per charge? 275mi x 286Wh/mi is 78.65KWh. I hope Tesla eventually provides a way to trade off performance and range. Actually, isn't there a setting to turnoff the front motor if you're on the freeway for example?

I’m extrapolating, haven’t taken it past 90% yet. I have a trip meter I haven’t reset since taking delivery. I’m extrapolating 286 Wh/mi over the ~78,000 Wh battery.

Taking delivery of a non p awd on tuesday the 14th. We had 2 reservations on the account, identical except color, white is about to be delivered and blue still has edit button. Highly color dependent I think .

FWIW mine is white too.

If anyones ever near the encino area in the valley i'll let you use the dragy... Let me know

I’m in Encino, struggling with the Model 3 choices versus another S. I’d lone to pick your brain about all the different ways to go and why you chose what you did. How do we get in touch?

Can someone speak to the difference in the ride comfort between the RWD and the AWD. I have driven the RWD and the PAWD and the P is a much smoother ride. I’m wondering how the plain old AWD compares. Also: the cornering on the P is much better than the RWD. That’s the dual motors, not the performance motor, unless the suspensions are different. Any thoughts?
BTW: I’m coming from a 70D and looking for a change, but still like the bumps smoothed out some.

I haven’t driven a P3D or any Model S, but the 3D is absolutely amazing. The RWD still felt “great” but wasn’t the same.

Was the RWD that you drove an early Model? The early builds had stiffer suspensions and Tesla softened them since then. I wouldn’t think the current RWD would be much different in terms of smoothness vs. the RWD.

I have been anxiously awaiting ten pages ‘ for a video ....Friday bump

No, it was a delivery from April-ish, so pretty recent. Definitely not like a sub-35,0000 production vehicle.

nice. no other reason is needed. what options did you get with your P?

White on white with aero wheels. Will probably upgrade the wheels via 3rd party once I burn through the stock tires

Did you upgrade to P model after august 1st? If so, do you still get free supercharging? Im assuming your original order date is what grandfathers you in

Congrats! That's awesome. Were you able to test drive the RWD before getting your AWD, and if so, can you tell any noticeable difference between 0-20 acceleration and overall feel/handling?

I hadn’t driven a Tesla till I took delivery of mine. I drove RWD after. Overall feeling of AWD is instant acceleration with no lag to me, feels amazing.

I just got my Blue AWD 3 and entirely agree! I drove a RWD model previously and had noticed the sense of a slow start.

The AWD 0-20 is head snapping! I mean that literally as I was afraid I'd hurt my wife in the first launch after her head bounced off the seat.

I'm hoping to get a comparison between the AWD 3 and an 85D, presently have an 85D and very curious how much slower the AWD 3 will feel in comparison.

I am also interested in comparison.

Thank you for clearing that up!

Yes I upgraded after August 1st. I called Tesla and they assured me I would get the unlimited supercharging and that I would NOT have to pay the $2000 premium for white exterior (even though it is listed as such online). Since my order was before the price switch the original would be honored. But weirdly enough I would have to pay the $1,200 destination fee opposed to the original $1,000.

Is that because you ordered a P?

What was your original order configuration and date?

Found someone local who has one, getting the 14-50 installed today so I can get above 90% charge and I promise hard numbers soon
