Actually Elon said that they currently had no plans to go over 100 kWh, much less definitive.
That's if you run the heater...
Though I can't imaging a happy wife doing that... lol. Time to get some Canada Goose then lol.We don't go on too many long vacations (maybe 1/year) that would cause us to stop a couple more times in a 75d vs 100d so that is my rationalization. Also, if we go on a long vacation when it's more mild/warm, we'll have closer to 200 miles anyway. It's just the winter that has me crunching numbers.
Another thing I'm taking into consideration is the launch of the Model 3. I see 2 sides to this...
1.) There will be more superchargers getting stood up.
2.) There will be more Model 3's using them.
I guess it depends on the ratio of both and how many people will be traveling when we do.

I would have went for 100D as of now as it was cutting it too close on some trips here from IL to TX, required a slow down, etc. And the 100D would technically charge faster, say if you did only go to 80/90% since it wouldn't be in that upper 10 slower range yet - remember they taper based on physical capacity. Supercharging is not as fast and convenient IMHO as people make it out to be - 40+ minutes often is not preferred. 100D would help with this at times.

100D is a worthwhile option, the P100D well if guy have wads of cash and you want to show off to your friends how ludicrous your car is but otherwise I would skip the P version.
I have seen Blue with white interior - looks really cool and sophisticated. I have Black Obsidian with white interior. Yesterday I saw a red with white interior and that too looks good just that I don't know if I can have a red car for more than a day. Not my type. I have always had a Black or Silver.
As someone else mentioned, tan on any car currently doesn't cut it for me except for Porsches. The old British Saddle Tan is my liking. But I am surprisingly very happy with the white interior -it has maintained well with very little care if at all.

They appear to be talking about using superchargers on trips, which the onboard charger doesn't help with. Onboard charger is only for home charging and destination charging and is bypassed at superchargers.
There is a post on the Model X Owners Facebook group that shows a blue Model X in winter. A very stunning photo, but I won't copy it here since the person who posted it is a professional photographer and is asking people to not repost it.
(I have a blue/white Model X on order so I'm a bit biased. Just wish I could have gotten it with the Figured Ash...)

I believe some or all of those were collected in the media section of the Model X group. Some of them are quite nice. I still can't decide among white/black/tan interiors. I can hope for a new interior choice at the M3 Part 3.

Regarding the figured ash, I've been looking at it more, and it seems to be inconsistent. I've seen beautiful examples, and I've seen some truly awful ones. I've seen a few inbetween, but not many--pretty much the extremes. Unfortunately, some of the truly awful examples were in the showroom and in the car I took for the test drive, and that set the tone in my mind.
It looks pretty good in those above photos. In fact, it seems to look better in the Model X than in the Model S.
When I saw the showroom "swatches" and how it played out in one of the showroom cars and my test drive car, though, I couldn't switch to carbon fiber fast enough. I'm happy to keep it that way, too, as I'm not up for gambling on getting a good one.

Yeah, now, THAT looks terrific! I've seen too many examples, though, where it's all swirled, whorled, and curled, and it just doesn't work. The bad examples look almost like they've painted a fake grain over another grain and done a very poor job of it.
I wasn't willing to drop $100k on a car only to hold my breath and hope it came out looking good.

I saw the samples after I ordered my X. If I had seen the samples before I don't think i would have ordered ash. The samples are awful.
