I pick up my car in the 20th. Of course I've only driven an MS for about 5 miles on a test drive, so I won't have much to compare it to.

I'm not sure if a picture of the Plus badging has been posted yet, our local service tech had this sent to him by a co-worker at the factory...

Since I'm waiting for my Red P85+ (to be delivered 5/15), this picture just about stops my heart.

Performance Plus Package
Is this based upon the tweaked version of the car that Elon was driving? I recall something about wider wheels and a modified suspension.
$6,500 for a pre-order.
$13,000 for a retrofit.

There are a number of threads discussing this package and upgrade. I've merged it with the one that best fits what you were discussing.

Am I the only one seeing the the EXTREME UNATTRACTIVENESS of paying $13,000 for something that would have costs $6500 if I chose earlier. Unless it came with upgrading the power to "performance". Then that would open a whole can of worms: vin classification change, interior changes, etc.

I'm in the same boat with you man.
AND the upgrade isn't complete as the dampers would not be upgraded - even at 13k. Not worth it IMHO.
I hear what you are saying. That is a HUGE premium to pay for having your car a bit earlier.
I'd suspect there will be a LOT of changes and refinement to this "retrofit" like other Tesla products. BUT they will get it right or pretty close to right IMO when it is rolled out.
It is nice to hear from ya 4Sevens!!!

I think Tesla figured that atleast some of the early adopters who got Perfs in the past few months can afford to put $13K down for the retrofit if they do want "the best Model S" that can be had at any price. I'm sure there'll be many takers for this; more revenue for Tesla!
To be fair, the labor costs of retrofitting this at the service centers must be significantly higher than doing this in a streamlined fashion on the factory assembly line.
