I have a 2014 P85+. For me I love the huge Frunk, love that I can kick the rear loose and if I turn off traction control, fishtail as desired. Not that I do it often.
There's an unrefined sweetness in the P85+ that I think is missing on D models. Of course she's slower than so many Teslas now, but she is built like a tank. it's barely dampened from the feeling of every road bump. Having worked at Tesla and talked with service techs a lot, we all agree the + model that were built are solid cars with really good build quality. Some stuff didn't wear as well, but the main car body, panels, are well done.
I'm hesitant to give her up for a few reasons:
Pro's worth keeping
1. Frunk size= huge!
2. MCU 1: XM satellite AM/FM too that I don't use
3. Pano Sunroof (temp hits 60F and that baby is opened)
4. Free Unlimited Supercharging (even if the kW are restricted somewhat to 90kW Max now)
5. New DU refurb < 1 yr ago
6. Rev D battery
7. Nosecone
8. RFS simple install with all mounting points still there and wires for trunk switch
9. RWD push and fun feeling of controlled violence
10. Dual door center console, not the spring loaded one that closes when you touch it
11. Front seats pockets behind the legs
12. Red piping on black seats
13. Red Calipers (but I guess anyone can do that)
Cons
1. MCU 1 will die someday; hopefully while under warranty, but there's a fix for that OOW
2. Seats are let's call it not super comfortable for long drives, wearing out kinda so/so
3. Throttled SC charging usually 70kW or less, but have seen 90kW lately at Fremont near the Target and Trader Joe's and Mountain View
4. Motor links need re-lubing again; the click from region to accel
5. Nosecone
6. Sunroof cosmetic insulation rubber around perimeter failing (no risk for leaks, but I'm not paying $1200 to fix it)
7. Black paint doesn't shine like my first S, so she might get a respray clear coat cleanup
8. Lack of Rear seat cupholder on back of armrest
9. Center console USB/12V power hinge cover door too sensitive to release open
10. MCU 1 vs. MCU2 with better display (gain some features, lose some so this should be misc gripe)
11. 3g data connection (can be upgraded to LTE though)
12. No Sentry mode
13. No AP. (I really enjoy AP1 on my wife's Sig Model X)
14. No Fog, No CWP (but I live in SF Bay Area, don't need either really)
Cost as new: $115k 6/2014
Cost as bought by me: 4/2019 $39k w/50k miles. ($42k out the door). - with the following failing from Day 1 to 1.5years owning
- DU replaced under used warranty; noisy motor driving off the lot, no due bill requested picking up in Marina Del Ray, wanted in and out delivery in 10 minutes, and got it. Its was agreed any due bill item would be covered under warranty and has been the case
- $150 RPM Tesla spoiler to replace worn spoiler sun damaged
- Rear tail lights replaced under warranty (both because one was half out and water inside)
- Front door handles microswitch replaced on both sides
- Added RFS during bumper respray from idiot who scratched my rear bumper in traffic
- Added Blackvue camera F/B
Basically Tesla lowballed selling this car to me, didn't fix anything since quitting CPO work, and I made out by hammering the warranty to get the deficiencies fixed.
And my dear son loves the car. So when he turns 16, it's his trainer car and then his car. That's the promise I made and we agreed.
