Online Configurator Disabled 1800EST 11-05-14

1700EST, something new may be in the works, the "Order" icon also leads nowhere.

 

[Vger]

Q3 letter says they are "reducing options," to simplify production. I guess that means more bundling.

 

[essaunders]

I only see 4 options now. 60, 85, 85D, and P85D

 

[ahimberg]

Looks like the options for black roof, and some exterior colors were removed too (no brown, etc)

 

[DJ Frustration]

I think this is a bad idea. There are some people who don't need dual motors but still want the Performance 85 model. Plus, the gap between the S and the P is now $23,100. That's a dealbreaker for most people.

 

[pmppk]

Green exterior, and the old (not next-gen) Performance seats are also gone.

 

[andrewket]

Yep, P85, black roof, brown and green are gone.

 

[Chuck P85D]

wow.... no more P85.

RIP :crying:

 

[TexasEV]

The 85D is $5000 more than 85 rear wheel drive. I thought it was announced as $4000 extra.

Well I guess value of used P85 and P85+ cars have just gone up because of the price gap you refer to.

It was originally. They upped it by $1000.

 

[JakeP]

Yep, P85, black roof, brown and green are gone.

I think I just shed a tear for the loss of the original Sequoia Green. All the more reason why I will never part with my baby, or upgrade to a D!

Green and brown were the next to least and least chosen color, respectively. Our greens are now a collector's item.

 

[breser]

Well that just throws a monkey wrench in things for me. I wonder if that means my 85D order won't be available in green.

If you've already placed an order, you're likely good.

 

[breser]

I have my order in but not confirmed, due to delays with my trade. However, I may need to cancel since it confirms tomorrow.

 

[DPDsModelS]

Well I have been waiting for my green for over a month. They better not have thrown out all the green paint!


Hope you are right Andrewket! (and if you are the resale value just jumped for this "rare" model!):biggrin:

 

[NannerAirCraft]

Also just noticed that for the regular rear wheel drive p85 the top speed is now listed at 140mph. I wonder what has changed that lets them get up to 140mph with just the rear motor?

 

[engle]

Elon just mentioned on the 2014 Q3 call that they are no longer taking orders for:

- P85
- 60D
- green or brown colors

Maybe one reason they removed green and brown is to make room for future Model X Signature paint color(s)?

Elon said the reason was for production efficiencies. I can't imagine why they'd we stopping production of colors in Q4 2014 to make room for colors they won't be doing until Q3 2015 now. Another point I believe he also said the X would be on it's own body line (which I presume also includes paint).
