Not to mention that 7% extra range is an unfulfilled promise, yet to materialize in the real world where the S has the longest actual range.7% more range on the D isn't worth anything to me as I almost never need it's full range.
The marketplace, not Tesla will determine the configurations long term.
The S60 RWD was not a big seller, but now the S70D is a much more popular configuration.
Believe many will chose the S70D over the S85.
Dual motors give better efficiency and larger items that do not fit in the Frunk can be stored in the Trunk.
Me either. AWD sales have always been a niche in the performance sedan market, not the bulk seller. I purposefully got the S85 because I live in a warm climate, 1 engine is simpler than 2, and I prefer storage space to making youtube drag strip videos.
Actually pretty much the entire Mercedes AMG line went AWD a couple of years ago.
But I think a S70 for $5k less than a S70D would sell even better...
Let's not forget that the single motor means there are less high dollar items that can break and need replaced. I love my S85 because of the simple and elegant design. Adding a second motor increases the complexity. One could argue that two motors increases the risk of catastrophic failure.
Here is the new question. Will the 90 offer RWD?
Complicated options? Go to the configuration page on a european Audi, BMW or Mercedes site and you will realize that Tesla is simple and actually bundles too much.The S90 single motor is already available in the design studio. It is just difficult to see because of the complicated options. Here is a list of current models available. New models are shown in bold. I expect that all 85's will be discontinued soon.
- 70
- 70D
- 85
- 90
- 85D
- 90D
- P85D
- P90D
- P90D Ludicrous

Actually today's announcement may make it more likely that rear wheel drive 85s will go extinct. .
