Is this a P85D+?

[Kofi]

I might be one of the few that hopes PrivateBanker is right. If you could get that much power for $150K it really puts pressure on bespoke luxury & exotic OEMs. Closely beating a Bull or Stallion in a race is one thing, but demolishing it right "off the showroom floor" is another. Plus, a 950-hp Model X with falcon doors is basically topless.

I am a very trusting person (actually, not true), but the longer I look at this, the less I believe it. Tesla has always announced cars, started taking reservations and then orders, and then, later than people hoped, started to ship them.
Having a P85D+ ready less than 2 months after the P85D started to ship? Just doesn't sound right.
But hey, I'd love to be wrong. Can we get a nice shot of the big screen after you hit the T button? That will show what car, what firmware, plus a Vin...

It's common for high-performance variants of a vehicle to not make it into production. This could've been one of TM's side toy projects. Is adding a 3rd battery to the MS that farfetched? It could happen. And even if it didn't in this case, the owner gets creative points for adding + after the trim name. What he's saying is he needs more torque.

Now all it needs is a yellow interior with a Type-R badge and it'll have 300 more HP.

I highly doubt Tesla would reveal this a couple months after they just announced the P85D. This putting two 400hp motors does seem like the next logical step, but I doubt it would be powered by an 85kw battery... So it would have to be a P120D or something.

Perhaps the is the future recalled solution to torque sleep power failures in .167, aka new front motor needed.

 

[tezco]

Having two of the big motors might make engine overheating less of a problem on the track or Autobahn though, something that critics raise whenever they want to "prove" that the S isn't a "real" car.

P85D+ (new Blue)?

Rumor has it this is Elon Musk's personal Car.

looks great!

 

[Twiddler]

Is that another P85D+ I see?! Perhaps this is actually a real thing! Now to the speculation of what makes it so +'y

Edit: Hmmm just recognized that OP is the very same who released pictures of the other "P85D+". Who has been feeding this guy his "+" emblems?

 

[sandpiper]

We've been down this road before! If it were a real +, the badge would be shifted more to the left, not so close to the edge of the trunk.

I wonder if I can find two +'s and turn my car into a P85D++?! Or...maybe I can get somebody to make me up a "105" badge just for the fun of watching the forums to go into meltdown.

 

[artsci]

As just about anyone can buy the badges and stick them on their cars it's impossible to know if this is legit. Same with the appliqué -- "Founders" and "Signature" versions can be had and put on any Model S.

 

[muleferg]

Surely he would have the trim fit better.:cursing:

 

[deonb]

I see Elon has more down to earth, so I don't think he would park on the ceiling like that...

Wow, here we go again...

I think you should add more plus signs... P85D++++++++ and wrap plus signs all around the car.

 

[bonnie]

Founders Series was used for the first 34 (I think, but TEG will correct that number) Model S produced, followed by the Signature for the North American market.

There were no other Founder Series produced of the Model S. Not for different markets, not for different versions of the Model S. Someone needs to learn a little more about the car.

 

[Kalud]

Despite the blatant lies (or strange humor). The color result looks fantastic.

Was the chrome a wrap ? And this one, a wrap or new paint ?

Please have the badge replaced at the right location or removed.

"D+"? Reminds me. Did I every talk about my undergraduate GPA with you guys?
