Only black and only on the P85D for now
This is the only retrofit I would really want ... in tan of course

That will be announced in 3 months and will start shipping before the actual announcements. Some owners will get them, some won't, and it will all be dependent upon the date your car was built...

Also, hot stone massage feature will come out on a Tuesday sometime in the next 14 months and wool carpets will be introduced on a random Thursday afternoon between now and the rapture :biggrin:
it's all part of Elon's new "project potluck"

My suspicion is that this is a short term thing most likely while they finish a supply contact with their old seat supplier, and while the new supplier ramps up production. The seats are a known weak point in the S, eventually I'm sure everyone will get the improvement on new cars. .. of course the timeline is impossible to guess without a bunch of inside knowledge that I don't have.
Until then however, the black seats are an abdolute non-starter for me, I know what getting in to a car with black leather is like on a hot sunny day in the summer. I'll never make that mistake again. Cloth or light colours only here thanks.

So do we now expect that better seats (not as posh as D seats) will not be available for regular 85S for a year or so?
I wonder about the new seats on the non-peformance D. are they available? On the order from, they apparently are not, but it's unclear what is there.

Pre-cooling only works if you plan ahead, and have cell coverage. Two things I can't count on where it would be an issue for me.

OK.
So someone who wants to buy a loaded 85D for ~$110,000 can't get the seats they want for their car. Nor can they choose the color on said seats.
And that makes sense how?

And even then, maybe I'm the only one, but even if the car is cool I'll eventually get sweaty in non-ventilated leather seats because the leather doesn't breathe. That's one of the reasons I have the textile seats in my P85 (the other being that without any bolsters, we need all the friction we can get to stay planted in the seat).
Exactly!!! To say the least. They final solve the seat issue and then reserve the solution for the P85D
I am ready to order the S85D but I want the new seats. No seats no order........:crying:
With that out of the way I must say that the upgrade of the Model S was very substantial and the increase in efficiency is like getting a 94Kwh battery.
With a move to the latest cells taking the pack to maybe 110 Kwh the range increase over the original RWD S85 will be 43%!
May bit less because the latest cells are a little heavier.
It will make it possible to travel 450km at speeds of 120-130 on a single charge making the Model S.
