And if these are “real” 670hp (unlike the fake 690hp the P85D had advertised) the acceleration will be as good as the first batch of Ludicrous versions (with the P90D).

The difference in 0-60, won’t be what really separates the LR and Plaid. It’s the 1/4 mile which will be significant. The LR should still be capable of sub-11s which will roast most production cars.
On the Joe Rogan podcast, Elon said the plaid is “uncomfortably fast” and I’m really looking forward to being uncomfortable

What is coming first, COVID-19 herd immunity or the refreshed Model S?
I've grown used to its speed to the point it feels normal. I guess acceleration is a drug.
My 2015 P85DL is still uncomfortably fast for my wife. I've been told to never floor it again when she is in the car after demonstrating Ludicrous mode with prior warning and advising her to brace her head against the headrest.The difference in 0-60, won’t be what really separates the LR and Plaid.

The performance to price ratio is now pretty remarkable. In 2016 a fully equipped top of the line P90DL was close to $140k with the Ludicrous package and a couple of options that now come standard. The base LR Model S is now approaching the performance of their top of the line vehicle at a fraction of the cost. The LR now starts just under $80k with most options besides wheels and colors coming standard. I can’t think of any other car in history that has so quickly incorporated it’s top of the line features in a base model so quickly.

If you feel that way, consider buying a used MS.
As the economy recovers, price of gas will be going up.
My guess is the LR will be pretty close to the P100D. The Model S performance starting 2019 were faster. My 2016 P100D was able to reach 545KW in Lud+ with a fully warmed up battery. That’s about 715hp but 400lbs heavier than a new LR so my guess is performance will be similar. At $80k, it’s about half the price of a loaded P100D from 4 years ago.

Guys can we actually stay on topic lool. I’m actually getting a little frustrated when I see comments about performance, design, etc. I only want to see comments or complaints about delivery so I can put my frustration somewhere 
This is very, very helpful. I’m impressed that he actually converted the old wheel into a yoke.
I am still waiting for a delivery date/month/year. No VIN yet.Guys can we actually stay on topic lool. I’m actually getting a little frustrated when I see comments about performance, design, etc. I only want to see comments or complaints about delivery so I can put my frustration somewhere
7 more days left in this month and my account still says March delivery. 
So on April 1st does it switch to "estimated delivery April" till April 30th?

Yeah, if the year drops off just before April, I'd say that's a bad sign...

My account page does not have an estimated date. I'm a bit of an anomaly though, as I ordered January 28th. I got a call in late February to tell me I could not have the "old" version and wanting to confirm my wish to follow through with the refresh. I did confirm that with an "Ownership Loyalty Advisor". I messaged him this morning to see if he can give any updates.

I just left Tesla service for a small issue and was talking to one of the service guys and they said they literally just got a Red refreshed S in yesterday, in a crate.. They were instructed to park it in a public parking garage and move it every few days.. Basically to get "hype" out there.. Isnt that crazy??

They are going to need a lot of hype to overcome the the effect of missed deliveries on the stock price EOQ.
Not even Cathy Wood will stop that.
Might be a buying opportunity, but I cant support a company that fails to communicate as they have with the refresh timeline.

More pics on Electrek just now. Does that mean it is closer to delivery? There is a round wheel, and a smart shift option.
