I thought the plus suspension came with a plus sign after P85D on the rear on the car and also on the dash display? I have staggered 21’s but with air suspension mines not +. I also thought that plus was not air suspension and yours shows air suspension with no plus listed anywhere on the build sheet.
P85D’s don’t come with a + on rear... Easiest way to tell is if it has the large bolsters on the rear seats

Seats don’t show plus suspension. The plus was heavier spring suspension with heavier stabilizer bars and bushing. I believe they also made air suspension plus, It was an upcharge in the build sheet. I could be wrong but I don’t think so. Not trying to bash but it seems like it would be on the build sheet of options.
Is not on the build sheet, I have had 2 that have the plus suspension.
You are correct on what the components are.
The rear bolstered seats only come on cars with plus suspension, they are not on the build sheet either.
The 2 things aren’t directly connected, it’s tesla, don’t try to figure it out...lol

Oh Ok, I know Tesla mixes and matches parts to get cars out the door, Ive never had a P85D so not that familiar. I thought there was a significant upcharge for the optional plus suspension, it may have become standard towards the end of the run.
Actually it was a little gem of a package that was in the middle of the build time, the late ones did not have plus suspension, and less tesla decided to put it in… Again never try and figure out tesla ...

Didn't some just add the "Plus" by buying it off ebay, maybe that's where you remember it from..
Love everything about this car but the grey seats..

Why do I get the feeling that you are a "dealer" of sorts......doesn't matter any more since X-Care can cover any "extended warranty" which reflects the ESA that Tesla offers. Oh, and where is Bettendorf ?
Strange comment... why do you think that?
I mean I do work at a Toyota dealership, however this in my personal vehicle, in no way tied to the dealership, happy to show you my Iowa registration, if needed.
AND I could sell it through the dealership if it would be better for a buyer, then I could line up financing and everything if need be.
So best of both worlds? Buyers choice.

P85D's with the Plus Suspension did NOT come with a " + " added to their emblem or on the dash display.
Plus Suspension actually WAS air suspension, NOT coils.
Plus Suspension may or may NOT have been listed in the Tesla build sheet. Only way to tell is to look at the label on the airbags.
Performance Plus (+) Upgrade
I've driven a P100D without the Plus Suspension and honestly thought it was too "Cadillac floaty", especially coming from an "street legal" track car (2006 Corette Z06). The Plus Suspension is similar to the:
... suspensions. Definitely tracks better, less body roll, more locked down to the pavement, especially with my staggered 21" Arachnid wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires which REALLY make the Plus Suspension shine with MUCH lower unsprung weight.
However the Plus Suspension is NOT for people looking for a Cadillac "magic carpet" ride. They need the standard Tesla suspension.

The whole point of a Tesla is the acceleration, they are too heavy and have too small of tires to actually be a track performance car. You are correct that there are now big BMW M, Amg Mercedes, and Audi’s that are also way too heavy to handle very well due to their weight. Drive a new BMW M2 on the track and then you can understand the difference of what a handling car feels like. The P100D is the result of refining the S platform to be the best it can be....fast.

Well, back to my For Sale ad...
My car does have the + suspension, and after driving a loaner without it, it is definitely an amazing option Tesla should have never ditched!

Sorry for getting sidetracked, at least you have gotten plenty of bumps and exposure. GLWS
