Greetings Tesla Fans,
Okay, some of you may know that I’ve been searching for the elusive P85DL+, preferably in red. With the P85DL supply dwindling down I’ve given up on finding one. So, I've been forced to look at P90DL cars. Of course, that leads to the battery issue.
My rational for the P85D was price, ludicrous speed and the plus suspension. Now the P90D has fallen into my price range and it has the speed, IF you get the right battery pack. Unfortunately, the few cars with the v3 battery pack are outside of my price range. They also don’t have the plus suspension. Yes, that is something I prefer and want.
I’ve been rationalizing the P90DL because with the battery degradation, it’s really just like the P85DL and it’s basically the same speed. My biggest concern is about it’s overall longevity. Is the battery going to crap out right after the warranty runs out? If my luck remains the same, it probably will.
We all know how glorious Tesla’s used car program is. I have tried to get P90D battery information from Tesla, they will not give it out. This makes the P90D a huge crap shoot. Well, any used Tesla really.
To vent a little, what kind of BS are they running. Crappy photos, won’t let you look at the car, won’t give you pertinent information to make an informed decision, pricing scam. WTF!? I’m wondering if I should just wait for the Porsche Taycan to come out. I almost bought a Panamera Hybrid for almost $15k less than the Tesla. I can’t tell you how frustrated I am, I’ve been searching for over 8 months.
Questions:
Ultimately, I feel like going with a v1 or v2 battery is a mistake. Am I going to regret going with a v1 or v2 P90DL in the long run?
Do I wait for a v3 P90DL or go for a P85D without ludicrous?
Is there ANY way to get Tesla to share battery info, give better photos, and/or allow us to actually see the car before purchase?
What are my options for making the car handle like the plus suspension without replacing ALL the parts?
Thanks.
