Anyone ordered a S Plaid Yet?

[CountvonC]

As per the title...…£130k basic....Hummm...

 

[Neilio]

just specced one up, basically I'll go for ALL the option other than the red paint. I don't think I can justify £145080 on a new car and If I could, it'd be an Aston!

There comes a time when commonsense has to come in to play. My S is 2 years old and has £98K invested in it and is likely only worth £50+K resale. You can make a guess that by the time 'Tartan' comes out UK it'll be another 18-24mths and the difference between it and a secondhand Raven S Peformance will be circa £50K for 0.3sec and 120 miles range and look the same but with a whole slew of delivery issues. Naahh. I wanted the Roadster but that's years away......

I wonder if this will cannibalise sales of the new Roadster.

I did too, but the £185k deposit put me off a bit.

Did they ever say what the battery pack storage was? 120kWh?

 

[UrbanSplash]

I noticed residual value after 48 months was £48k. I’m sure it’s fun to drive etc but it just doesn’t look special enough. Should come in a unique colour like the new M3/4

No point in ordering now, all you are doing is paying to get put on a mailing list!

Would want to see what the facelift looks like (if..)

That' pretty steep! I thought Teslas held their value better than that. is it the M3 effect?

 

[tomorrowman]

I'm waiting for the model 3 plaid. Or if the share price increases sufficiently once tesla deliver all of the battery day promises maybe the roadster.

Model S is just too big

Looks about the same proportion as 3 residuals?
It becomes a serious amount of money to throw away just for some bragging rights. Reality check that one can't get to play with 0-60's very often, The overtaking burst is good enough on most models and 200mph top speed?? You might just as well book a flight to Germany and hire one for the day.
There's a paradox that the sportier, faster car I own the more conscious I am that it's speed limit bait and the steadier I drive and the more I want to keep my licence....
...might as well just buy an Audi (if they'd get around to making one i can fit in)..

I don't necessarily disagree, but I think you would be paying for a lot more than the quoted 0-60 in terms of performance. Dropping 1.5 seconds from quarter mile is just incredible. A sub, or there abouts, 9 second production car is unheard of.

A car that silently beats a Chiron or Koenigsegg for that kind of money... puts it in perspective for me. Not that I can or will be spending that much on a car.

And that range!!!

 

[Big Earl]

Sticking with Cybertruck order, instead. Similar powertrain, similar range, added offroad capability, half the price. I'm in the US, of course ... probably wouldn't consider a Cybertruck in Europe due to its size.

Even Elon acknowledged that they may have to do a downsized version for Europe ...

I dont see the problem.. the milk lorry makes it past my farm and I've driven these lanes with a 7.5 tonner. A scratch-proof pickup should be a doddle

Elon suggested in yesterday's presentation that a smaller Cybertruck isn't possible.
