Thanks. Some people told me the red underline only came with the red brakes. Happy it's not the case.

On the other note, P3D Teslas delivered to journalists for test drives have non-standard firmware, it literally labeled "Press", so there is that.
That is a pretty heavy claim to be dishing out without any evidence. Where are you getting this information?

At least 1 or 2 of the press test rides were in a car with track mode available- which folks taking retail deliver of a P haven't mentioned having access to. Don't know there's any difference beyond that though.

with 3.15 in quotes since they appear to just be guessing based on the youtube video counter and when the dash reads 60.
The more I read about AWD and performance the more I feel I made the right decision to save money and time and order RWD. From range to power to nearly everything it seems disappointing from every angle. Expect a refresh in a year or two...
My thoughts exactly. When I test drove the RWD I thought "good god, this thing is fast. I better open a savings account to pay for my speeding tickets." I've never owned a sports car (or sports sedan) of any kind so I guess I'm just not the target market for the performance models.
How in the world is 0-60 in 3.5 secs a disappointment from ANY angle? What other BEV's are you buying at this price point that matches that power, range, and Tesla supercharger network?
AWD non-performance is a must for people having to deal with weather & road conditions, that's a no brainer upgrade from RWD. I see you're from OC so it makes sense you see no use for it. We have perfect weather year round.
But seriously, performance model 3 that is lighter than a model S, with better and tighter controls, newer tech, and plenty of room for mods that for the most part people haven't begun to experiment with yet. I don't get where you're getting at.
I think people with a P will be getting a nice OTA update with the “track mode”. The P has only been out a few weeks.
Whatever makes you feel better about your purchase. Very true that you already have your 3 while the rest of us are still waiting in line. You may feel like, and justifiably so, that the RWD is the best value. However, to say that the D and P are disappointing are confounding at best. I will give you that the range is strange except this is the first D that adds power instead of keeping the same power distributed between F&R. In that sense, the D is the absolute best value of the models getting an extra 75hp and AWD traction for $4000.
