Wrote this in another thread but thought I would post here as well. I took delivery 9/27 on a LR with 19" rims. My thoughts coming from a 2018 Model S 75D. Summary, I LOVE IT!
Exterior
A few other notes:
1. Charging on the same Tesla wall charger as before is 25% faster (42 miles/hour vs 34 on 75D)
2. Was unable to secure any freebies (winter mats, 14-50 adapter) from Tesla. In 2018 I got free mats at least
3. At home delivery was really nice. I thought I would miss the experience of going to the dealer and seeing it but did not.
4. When turning, light is projected in the turn direction. Didn't know this was a feature and my old car didn't have it. Anyone know if these are adaptive headlights or is it just an additional LED they turn on?

- Changes are subtle but noticeable for Tesla fans.
- I like the black trim, gives it a much sportier look.
- Same for the extra width in fenders and tires, sportier, meaner looking!
- Didn't plan on liking the 19" rims w/aeros but actually do. The rims look smaller though if you remove the covers.
- Quality was good, no major paint or panel gap issues.
- Yoke, do like the extra visibility and not having to take your hand off the wheel for turns signals is actually nice. Not sure how wife will like it.
- Interior design, thumbs up! Feels more modern. Friend commented it is now more competitive with Taycan on that front.
- Software/UI, higher learning curve due to the flexibility and windowing UI.
- Screens, all great though I feel the backup cam is a little grainy in full screen even in daylight. Anyone else notice this?
- Seats are very comfortable. Did have some "wrinkles/folds" in rear that they will replace
- Missing the cargo floor panels like others, said it was due to backorder.
- Stereo is awesome! No distortion, clear highs and incredible bass if you want it.
- Smoother and quieter than prev 75D for sure. Adds to the enjoyment.
- Holy SH*T it is fast! I knew the specs on paper but was still blown away! It throws you back in the seat no matter how fast you are going. I took a Tesla owner for a ride and floored it at 50 and hit 90 so fast, we were both blown away! His quote was "Holy crap what a car that is!!"! This is a HUGE upgrade and makes me smile every time I do it. I can't imagine the Plaid acceleration.
- Really, it feels so fast. a Porsche owner drove and was blown away by how fast it is and couldn't imagine wanting anything faster.
- No seriously, the improvement in mid-range power delivery is incredible. The car feels like it is lifting off the ground at 50mph when you punch it.
- Yoke + Drive Selector, not really an issue except complicated maneuvers like 3 point turns etc.
