With 1.5k increase in the Model S starting price

Why did the S price go up? what changed?

Why did the S price go up? what changed?

They redesigned the front to look more like the Model X grilless front. And it looks like they took a couple of things from the premium upgrade package as an option like the bioweapon air filtration thing.

The S onboard charger has been changed to the same 48/72 that the X has too.

Thank you - back on topic Trolls....

Nice to see the design studio and never expected an 75kw battery option.

Problems with thread management? Title of thread is Model X Design Studio Now Open but most of the thread is about the S in China with the broken shafts.

Anyone else notice that the 20" wheel options in the X design studio now say they come with all-season tires? I wonder if Tesla was tired of getting an ear full from all of us who originally configured 20" wheels, which were supposed to have all-season tires, and then trying to change us to summer tires? Hmmm...

The design studio says May delivery for 90D and P90D and June delivery for 75D... how is that possible with the presumed backlog of orders?

 

[Colby Boles]

It's just not production...it's also "demand and supply"

It also says May delivery for a 90D. That is quite a surprise - particularly for the many of us still waiting for our cars. Production must really be ramping up now.

Yeah, I can't believe their optimism anymore. They should really say June and then surprise people with early May deliveries if everything works out. I'm not sure why they would want to disappoint more people with late deliveries than they have already. Considering I still don't have evidence that my vehicle is in production and my delivery window is still listed as March on the TM website, I'm not that impressed by Tesla's ability to forecast things or even communicate about delays.

That's just for the X90D and has been that way since they made the tire changes a couple months ago. The XP90D still shows ALL tire options get summer tires.

Oops. Thought I saw it that way for the P90D. Guess I'm not paying attention today...

I also noticed that the "Dark Ash Wood Décor" is the new default on the X configurator while "Matte Obeche Wood Décor" is an upgrade. I would have preferred having the "Dark Ash Wood Décor" but wanted to save $750. Hopefully the "Matte Obeche Wood Décor" will match my Tan seats and black headliner interior.

Wow, you guys really got a big heart on Tesla. I love Tesla to death, don't get my wrong. But getting an iPhone 6 and two weeks later iPhone 7 came out does not seems to be a good thing IMO. I think maybe Tesla should wait for at least a year to release 100D.

So Apple should never release the iPhone 7 and Tesla should never release > 90 kWh? Or are you saying they should both should suspend all sales/deliveries for a full year whenever a new version / capacity is announced? /confused

 

[brianman]

... Tesla's frequent upgrades ... Tesla. You pay top dollars and get stuck with a beta car.

No. You're using the word "beta" incorrectly.

No, i am sorry to confuse you. I meant they should space them apart. So you don't have two groups of people having two variations at the same time with one been the better version. Another word, if Model X owners got their car already over couple of month, i think it's good for refresh. If Model X owners just starting to receive their cars and a newer hardware version comes out, it's not always a good idea. You count from the first major group of people who received the car and the duration of that version, next version should be spaced apart. If not, you will see 110D 3 month later after 100D was released. Give the early buyer a choice to upgrade or give early buyers a chance to have the latest toy for sometime before you obsolete them. Hopefully i made it somewhat more clear for you. Thanks.

I called, they told me the price you reserved the car at is the price you will pay.

Tesla PR confirmed that with me as well. Nice bonus for early confirmers.

 

[MrBoylan]

'Price drop' price is probably just the price of the car with some options and with tax credits.

Yes, Model X price went up, but only for the base level battery (but it's a bigger battery). It went from $80K for the 70D to $83K for the 75D. Those who configured and confirmed the 70D at the earlier price get the 75D for that price. Bonus! The 90D and P90D prices stayed the same.

But Elon's Tweeted price was post-incentives. There is no Model X for $78K pre-incentives. If you're in California, a 75D Model X with AutoPilot and 6 seats would be $88,500 ($78,500 after $10K in federal and state incentives). This is probably what he meant.

 

[MrBoylan]

I am not owner. The car is 70D delivered in January 2016. He drove about 3000KM.
The car have not any accidents after delivery car. The road is perfect.
Band ! When he wanted to brake car and the car slip
When he got off , He found the rear axle shaft broken and the brake pad fly out but the car has not any collision .

So this is third party hearsay then? It's certainly something you can post about but the fact that you were not the one it happened to reduces the credibility of any of the supporting evidence.

But in any case, this is the completely wrong thread for this discussion. We're talking about the Model X design studio being open to the public, not accidents in a Model S.

Someone incorrectly merged the threads and apparently it's too difficult to split them back up. Best to just let that other discussion die out.

I just did a quick scroll through the thread. The damaged Chinese S posts are no longer here. At least I didn't see the pictures. If there is still a random reply to those I didn't notice but if you report it I'm sure the Mods will move it.

Back to the X design studio....glad to see it live for everyone to play with!

Perfect. As a bicycle rider who's worked in bike shops in my past, we call that a JRA, as in "I swear I was Just Riding Along when, ....(insert your favorite catastrophic failure here) happened to my bike!" Rrrriiiggghhhtttt..... ;-)
