Just managed to catch screenshots of the Order Page between two crashes. Version S60 Version P85D All options on P85D below end of page, rest is text iirc E.
I wonder if the HP bump for the RWD model is just a software update that can be applied to existing cars as well...
295 miles for the standard 85!!! I had been expecting maybe five extra miles from what Elon said about efficiency gains. And 691hp is simply insane. I thought the 416hp of the P were all that the battery was good for ... obviuosly not.
Web search can be funny sometimes. I found an old post of mine (LOL) that may or may not help. Model S horsepower | Forums | Tesla Motors Edit: Actually hm, I think that was HP vs. kW. Not torque. Oh well.
He was talking specifically about the P85D when he said that, his point being that they upped the performance but still made it more efficient, at least measured by distance at 65mph. We'll see when they get EPA ratings.
It's nice to see that the extra range of 295 miles for the 85D and 275 miles for the P85D (or was it always 300 miles Tesla estimate and 235 miles EPA?) is being reached at a more realistic 65 mph. I seem to recall it was always 55 mph. Top speed has also gone up considerably to 155 mph.
Does almost 15k for the P85 DM seem a tad bit high? I understand its a different sized front motor but I think 8-9k would be more reasonable. Is there something else that I'm missing that they do differently than with the S85 dm? (other than front motor and new seats)
