No longer true. @Teslaswild I believe holds the current 1/4 mile record with his “P3D+”

I’m not jealous...okay I’m a liar.
I specifically asked for this build about 2 months ago. Oh well. I have red brakes and larger than preferred wheels...and paid way more for it. Yay!
Believe me, I asked for the same build 2 months ago too. I reminded my sales adviser of that today. But since I couldn't get a P without 20" wheels at the time, I went the other way and went with the LR AWD. I just couldn't justify 20s where I live (my buddy's got them and already busted 2, yikes!).
@Urbancowboy the trade in quote stinks, they gave 37.5 for a trade in quote on my AWD, FSD, 12k mike’s. Can’t justify the 18k difference to upgrade to this. Would rather save it for later and see how things change in 3 years.

Lots of people already asking on Twitter (search "LR AWD"). Keep pressing. And sign this if you haven't already. We just broke over 1000! Sign the Petition

Notice I said "stock P3D". Which implies no aftermarket wheels, tires, etc. The wheels on the Stealth P3D have less rotational inertia and that is why they are a touch faster than the P3D+. Once you start changing the very things that differentiate it from a Stealth P3D, it's not a "stock P3D" any more than a Stealth P3D is a P3D+. Remember, the underlying car is identical, we are just comparing the difference the differences make!

I must have missed what alterations his car has. I’m under the impression It was stock, just removed about 40lbs of interior weight. (Stock 20’s and all the “things that make a +” still on the car)Notice I said "stock P3D".

So please enlighten me.

Stripping the interior of the car of 45 lbs. is not really a good way to compare the differences of a stock Stealth P3D to a stock P3D+. He even unbolted the rear seat!

Only The bottom 1/2, it weighed 5lbs. But I suppose we’re splitting hairs at this point. 1% weight loss. Drivers weight hasn’t more an impact. (He is pretty light).
Removing Floor mats and bottom 1/2 of back seat is hardly stripping the interior.

He said he removed "everything" including the floor mats and rear seat. But whatever...
Just got mine and it's the same. So no trade and replacement for me. I'll have to hope for a software uncork.My trade quote from Tesla

Yes, I got a quote both yesterday and this morning (same price, but vehicle that was available yesterday sold). She told me they have tons of demand for these right now and she sold 2 yesterday.

Haha I tried to trade in a LR AWD that listed for 51K 4 months ago for a perf model and it had 200 miles on it but was over a week out by a day and Tesla offered me 39K trade in lolol...great resale value!

I've gone up against P3D with my stealth when i still had 18's and edged past him even when he had the jump. After I got my aftermarket 20's which have similar weight to the stock P 20's, I definitely felt the additional weight slow me down a hair.
