Hi all, I've put down a deposit on a P90DL from 2015, and then went on to read about its problems (those events happened in that order cuz me dum).... so I am hugely confused now as to what to do.
Can anyone who has this model (or has a lot of info about it) answer these questions? Thank you.
1. All P90DL's are advertised as 2.6sec, which is MUCH faster than P85D's (3.2sec) and almost the same as P100DL's (2.4 sec). But from what I've read, P90DL's are nowhere near capable of doing this, especially older ones like mine, which are much closer to P85D than P100DL.
Tesla is publishing those figures on individual pages for every PARTICULAR vehicle. I'd get it if it was a common spec sheet download, but in this case, on the CPO page of my particular P90DL, it literally said 2.6 sec 0-60, and I was fooled by that. Should've known better I guess.
2. I know it's impossible to know which battery my car has , but it's marked as having "Range Upgrade" which means it was originally a P85D but got a new battery installed. Does this mean anything in terms of version/performance?
3. Has the "no launch / max battery mode" problem been fixed on P90DL's?
4. I don't have anything to measure performance with, so I guess I'll have to rely on the instant power indicator on the dashboard. Do you guys have any idea what kind of max numbers I should be seeing there, on/off max battery and launch mode?
5. The car was listed as having 270 miles of range. I'm sure it does not, especially with the problems the 90kWh packs are reported to have. If any of you guys have P90DL's (esp. earlier ones) can you tell me how much range you have left?
6. Should I possibly ditch this car and get a P85D (not DL) for about 7 grand cheaper?
Thanks a lot for any input here, guys.
