Looks like they are building in Ludicrous and Smart Air Suspension into the car. So that $20K upgrade is much more than the battery price.Interesting. Smart Air Suspension is included in the price, and can't be unchecked.

I have noticed that people keep talking about the 100K upgrade as a "battery only" upgrade. There seems to be quite a few options that are inlucded with a100K upgrade.If anyone finds out if non ludicrous P90D models can upgrade for the 20k price please post, I'd love to know.
Probably not, I assume one must upgrade to ludicrous for 10k and then upgrade to 100 kWh for an additional 20k

Alternatively you could get both a Porsche 918 and a LaFerrari to haul 4 passengers at the same time, but you have to teach one of the kids to drive the 918 or the laFerrari to help with school drop-offs and Pickups. Also there may be a maintenance charge associated with these cars for oil changes, just saying.Your P85 does 0-60 in four seconds and change, the new top end is 2.5, that's a huge difference. If you spec out a roughly comparable car, you'd be looking at a 90D (no P) and I think the price will be much more comparable as well.
They haven't so much raised the price of the top end as they have added higher-end variants.
I did not see premium interior being included with the 100K upgradeAir Suspension

You seem to be correct. Now you can deselect things like SAS which you couldn't before.The website is continuously changing for some reason.
Maybe they will get it right by tomorrow.
Sounds like she's all for the ludicrous to me. Go for it.My wife did not buy my story about needing to upgrade our P90DL She mumbled something about a ludicrous idea.
Sweet! Who's Marques Brownlee?
Exactly. I agreeI must be confused, I was thinking the cost to upgrade a current built P90D was 20k
But if it's 20k from the factory and you get all that, it's not a bad deal at all!
Unfortunately you lose the premium interior when white seats are selected
People who buy a Tesla find other aspects of the car more important than interior design detail. Those other manufacturers don't make a long distance EV. Everyone has different priorities.While I think Tesla Model S is cool and telling myself saving gas justify buying one. But the fact P100D or even let say 100D cost well over 120k for it. I dont think the "luxury" design / interior warrant the price yet.
You can get a Porsche or really nice Mercedes or BMW for 100k with much better interior detail design....
Ok, performance wise... They are saying 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.
Motor trend got 0-60 in 2.6s on the P90D.
2015 Tesla Model S P90D w/Ludicrous Upgrade First Test
What do you think, is it really going to be much different? It can't be that much different.
I'm set to lease a demo P90D right now that is 64% off the price of a new P100D. Seriously. The lease payments are approx 1/3 of the lease payments on a new P100D. Do I really care about those last 0.1 or 0.2 seconds?
I'd also be missing out on:
ventilated seats
cupholders
led headlights
hepa filter
facelift nosecone
Anything else important?
