Elon says AWD and Perf orders start at end of next week!
- Thread starter favo
- Start date
Sigh.... Sadly our road conditions have become so poor that they can't handle 200 mph. We need infrastructure bucks.
I can finally configure an AWD!!! ETA for delivery is 12-16 weeks. (received my initial invite during the 2nd week of February - non-owner, line waiter)
Sadly, folk don't have the reaction times necessary to go 300fps when play Angry Birds or shopping on Amazon.
There is something called the Silver State Classic. Look it up. Public roads, excellent drivers, insane speeds.

I'm not able to configure. I'm ready to pull the trigger and place the order. Ugh...
Edit... I’m an owner and a line waiter. So much for preference since non-owners are able to order...

From my Roadster experience you just stomp it. Could not be easier. Full power any time, all the time.
I hope you're right!I'm just setting my expectations "lower" (i.e. it's actually 3.5 seconds) so that I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's quicker rather than disappointed if it's not.
Ryan, you are incorrect. The present P100D Model S is 2.5 in configuration. You know some have gotten that down to 2.2 or so.

I always thought they looked good on the silver prototype with 20 inch wheels. Glad it comes suited to your taste.

Speaking of that- haven't seen the configurator screen shots make ANY mention of ANY upgrades at all to brakes or suspension for the P model... which is surprising if he's shooting at the BMW M3...
given the motors are supposedly the same in the P and non-P AWD Model 3s (other than the best sigmas and longer burn testing) that suggests you're basically paying $20,000 for what, just bigger inverters or something to support higher discharge?

The spoiler... don’t forget the spoiler. Maybe the CF spoiler completely changes the driving dynamics allowing it to compete with the M3.

The spoiler... that they explicitly say will be installed after delivery. Such a lol.
Who said they were the same? Maybe they are different but poorly performing performance motors can also be used in the RWD cars and are software limited?

I think it mostly comes down to what people are willing to pay for for the performance delta. Just like EAP and FSD, software can add a lot of value without much different hardware. This is a paradigm shift for sure.

Yeah, I don't think they're the same. People have been assuming that, but elon's tweet about PM for rear, AC induction for front, was in response to a question about specs for performance in particular.
New configurator page is up, but AWD option is grey out. Looks like end of the week is not there yet for me
I like this new config. page, clean and fast, good design.
