Released my VIN and put order on hold. Rolling the dice to get the new (phantom) changes. If not I'll join the $250 club, I kinda want a Plaid anyway

~$500. 10 cents per mile for gas or so ($3/ gallon, 30 mpg). Charging at home is cheaper, but superchargers might be $0.34 / kwhr, multiplied by 300 whr per mile is also about 10 cents per mile.
I tend to not value FUSC because I don't drive very far.
Following up on our prior M3P/M3L discussion, looks like that model will be 618HP, and therefore close the 670HP MSLR as we had discussed, and peak power at a higher speed.
In order for me to do an apples to apples comparison, I have to compare my MSP to other high performance sedans that make over 1000 hp. There aren't any that get better than 17 mpg. Looks like California supercharging is also averaging about 34 cents per kWh, although if you're willing to do off peak it can be substantially less expensive.
My driving has been mostly winter in the rain and am still averaging less than 290 wh / mile which means I'm getting 3.44 miles / kwh which is 10.14 miles / dollar which in turn is 17 miles per $1.68 / gallon compared to whatever the current price is for super unleaded (91). Although some of these sedans require E85 in order to get their 1000+ hp specs which is cheaper than 91 but far less available.

No performance specs yet?
461 kw is equivalent to a P90DL v1 or P85DL but but the taper is likely to be a lot flatter than either of those. Also a lot lighter. Expect 0-60 in 2.4 seconds and 1/4 mile in 10.5 seconds.
Will cannibalize some Plaid sales for sure.
Perhaps. Some people need the new hotness, but I think for many buyers it will depend on what they're looking for. We'll see!
I really don't see the Model 3 and Model S as comparable - let alone this new "performance" vs. the Model S Plaid. Night and day to me. Would always go S over the 3.
I’d do the same. I joined the $250 club (twice) to get the FUSC transfer. If not for that, I’d have delayed to get the vaporware tooReleased my VIN and put order on hold. Rolling the dice to get the new (phantom) changes. If not I'll join the $250 club, I kinda want a Plaid anyway
Yea, the biggest reason why I want a Model S is due to it being a hatchback so having the ability to transport bigger things is nice. I also like the piece of mind/convenience of the air suspension being able to rise up at places to avoid scrapping the front bumper. Aesthetics wise, the S still having the gauge cluster is nice as well.
It’s crazy big. I packed 4 people, 3 full sized suitcases, 2 carry on’s and various book bags and stuff for a vacation. I had to take out some of the trays and privacy cover in order for that to work. It seemed to fit in my model s better than a RAV 4 that we rented when we got to the destination.

In Nashville I’m paying $7500 for XPEL Stealth wrap all over + XR Plus full window tint (including top). I think wrap was about $6000 and tint was another $1500.

That is about 35% of the price I was quoted by 3-4 of the reputable places in Nashville. $7500 was the best deal I could find for anywhere I’d be willing to leave my car. One place quoted $12000 without ceramic.
What an exciting day! I received my VIN! Order date 2/21, current EDD is 3/20-3/26. MSLR, stealth grey, 19s, yoke, black interior.

Today, I got pretty bummed out... I was all set to pick up my MSLR on the 8th, but then the manager tells me they've put a hold on handing out the LRs because of some issue with the Moroney sticker. I also asked about the Plaid models, and they said there's no delay with those deliveries.
