new 2020 Tesla Roadster or p100d model s?

[owenwu20]

Current model s p100d owners, will your next car purchase be a next generation model s p100d/p130d or the new 2020 Tesla roadster announced today at the semi truck event?

Rumored 130 kWh Model S in light of Roadster announcement

No contest, roadster is sexy and model S is family. Roadster will make more panties drop in a 2:1 ratio.

I desire a 500 to 600 mile range with a new luxury, smoother, quieter, spacious interior designed Model S. Autopilot or autonomy doesn't need 1.9 second 0 to 60 acceleration in a Model S or X. Performance is a plus for those who love to manually drive. We would prefer to have Megacharger speeds on those cross country trips.

I hope that all previous Roadster owners were invited to the Semi Event. Those 2,700 buyers needed access to be first in line for the spectacular new 2020 Roadster.

I agree, even though I put down a deposit on a new Roadster and did not buy one of the original Roadsters.

Hey Jerry,

Did you follow thru within the 10 days and give Tesla a total of $50,000? You are the only person I can find who claims to have reserved one. Just curious if there are others. If not, I do not see the car ever getting into production. I know a lot of people signed up for test drives but that only required a refundable $5k on a credit card. They had 10 days to put in the other $45,000. Thanks...

 

[jerry505]

yes

 

[beachbum77]

Very good. The car is beautiful. I hope it does indeed get built because I would love a lease return unit someday. You should start a new Forum thread for Roadster reservation holders.

 

[jerry505]

To get a count?

There already is a thread on reservations for the new Roadster here: Roadster reservations

There is also a thread on Roadster Founders reservations here: Founders Reservations

 

[jerry505]

thanks -

Just saw your post. A lot of people have posted in the threads that @EinSV linked to saying they have put down reservations on the new Roadster. My guess is that Tesla is going to easily sell out the first 1,000 Founders cars.

That would be nice. Means I might be able to pick up a used one in 2025 or so.

I ordered my Roadster then bought a P100D to tide me over...my wife's Model X was making me envious...loving my somewhat tricked out P100D (custom wrap and staggered wheels)...btw, bought a "test drive" car for a great deal!

I agree too, one car has a 600 mile range...

 

[Captainvideo]

yes

Well done! The vehicle looks fantastic!

 

[Xenoilphobe]

Roadster in 2025 with the bugs worked out. Let some "Founder" be the beta tester.

Why not both? The p100D as a grocery getter and the roadster for fun? I plan to upgrade to the P100 D late 2018 as soon as the interior refresh comes out. I just wonder about the roadster for long trips. Will the suspension be much stiffer? How much room will you have for laggage? Yes I know you have a nominal back seat but the model S swallows so much luggage that the roadster could only hope to match. This may be a plan. ( Finance permitting of course)
