Also have a S60 on order. Awaiting delivery in early June, when did you order?
Confirmed 4/11, VIN 4/19, called up the delivery center to ask a couple questions and they assigned me a date. Still more than a month out, ugh.

The service center here said they have had zero 60s in for battery problems, just an interesting observation.
As I understand it, MS60 has deadweights in the pack to keep the weight about the same as the 85 so they didn't need to double the crash tests.2. The lighter vehicle allows for more efficiency.
That's about right. Here's an article I found about upgrading from 60 to 85: Life With Tesla Model S: Battery Upgrade From 60 kWh To 85 kWh4. As other have posted, you can already manually swap batteries for a cost (~$17K if I recall), making the car infinitely upgradeable.

I wonder if they include Supercharging and the Primacy tire upgrade with it if you don't already have them.
I've seen speculation like that repeatedly, but never any proof. Admittedly, the weight delta seems small given that the battery is allegedly about 1000lbs.I've never seen anything about deadweights.
These numbers continue to amaze me. On a round trip (so no net elevation change - that's cheating) I have never managed less than 280Wh/mile - and believe me I've tried. It must be the rotten rough roads here in Oregon...I can get sub 250Wh/m at ~62mph.
I don't go a day without seeing at least a couple Teslas just on the way to work, certainly doesn't make the wait easier!
Getting the NEMA 14-50 plug installed this week, after tomorrow it'll be a 30 day countdown so I'll start the financing process, then lock down my insurance...stay busy stay busy don't think about it lol
Regarding hauling the family and stuff to Disneyland, I think you'll find the cargo capacity of the Model S quite remarkable. If you have Supercharging (and that SJC comes online eventually) it will be a very easy trip. Actually it should be easy even without SpC because Disney now has Chargepoints in the Mickey garage (not free, but still cheaper than gas). I've taken our 60 as far south as Legoland (the kids love that hotel).
I find that extremely unlikely. There is a much higher chance the 60 battery will degrade faster, since you use more of the range.*possibly* slower degradation of the battery
I think it's the opposite for me. I very rarely see Teslas and get excited when I do, it's like an event on its own even though it typically lasts maybe 5 seconds. The wait seems to be harder with the thought that I won't get to see another Model S until mine arrives in a couple months.I don't go a day without seeing at least a couple Teslas just on the way to work, certainly doesn't make the wait easier!

Silicon Valley and Seattle are among the most popular areas for Tesla in the US, so doesn't surprise me. I just get a little jealous when it's mentioned.I see tons of them on the way to work, the weekend and when I visit the Tesla store It's already been a 3 week wait or so and 6 more weeks until delivery might kill me! I'm not even in the window for applying for financing and insurance yet
