are you leasing your existing P85DL? If not, it is probably a good idea to upgrade now.

Nope, trading in P85DL, sales person called and said that today was the last day to confirm for "Late September", so I was able to go on-line and confirm.[/QUOTE]
Cool, were you able to get a good trade-in price for the P85DL? I heard that Tesla always offer really bad trade-in price.

The added range closes some travel gaps for me.
KC to Wichita without a Topeka stop. The last time I tried that I rolled into my driveway with 5 miles of range left
I'll make the upgrade

The good kind of fat
Lets be honest, everyone wants a P100DL. It's just that many would rather send the kid to med school instead.
I voted no. As a P85D owner, more acceleration is very low on the priority list, I have plenty now. So the cost for the added range is a waste, it is not a big enough change to make a difference in how I use the car. I am happy to wait for new battery technology to take the capacity to 200kwh rather than messing around squeezing the maximum out of the same batttery technology I already have
No, I bought mine. I'm still dithering, so probably I'll wait for a while.
Luckily for me everyone in my family who wanted med school has already gone. 'Everyone' in my case was 'no one' except two relatives who did not need my support.
Still there are many things that the $50,000 or so could more logically do than upgrade my already ludicrous P85DL. Since when has logic any role in these decisions? If logic were involved I would not even own a car in the US, I'd rent whenever I needed one. I've already rented Tesla twice, the latest one a P90D, but there is no logical defense for that either.
Frankly, we all know that our Roadster/S/X are subsidizing development of vehicles that will have logical justification. So, I'll continue dithering until the itch becomes irresistible...

I'm a classic P85 owner - I am considering it, but I'm afraid my wife might want one too...

I'm very happy with it, same with last trade in. I have a 6-year loan on this one, where I put the minimum down, the trade in will cover what I owe after 1 yr and 9 months of ownership plus put about $1,000 back in my pocket. So better than most leases. The new car is more expensive, but after the fed tax incentive I'll be only 10k out of pocket for the same payment that I had before.
Not very many 100k+ cars you can do that with after owning for less than 2 years - even without the fed incentive.
I have been TMC member for 6 months and have been "stalking" the forum for 1 year before that. I never heard such spreadsheet. Is that in one of the "sticky" threads somewhere?

I ordered a P100D on the 24th, 2 yr company lease. It came up to about 148k and 70k total cost over 2 years. Production starts next week for late Sept delivery.
Congrats! 2 year lease is available for the P100DL? I thought that it is only for the cheapest Tesla.

That's good to hear. Only 10k out of pocket when you upgrade to P100DL.

Arrgghhh.. took the wife today to test drive the P90DL, she saw a blue on tan leather 90D (new nose cone), and fell in love with it. She told me that we should replace both P85's for the 90D since it is such an improvement over the standard P85 (autopilot, AWD, new seats, summon mode, range increase, new car warranty BLAH, BLAH. BLAH)....
I really want the P100D, but she might see me as selfish, since her car is only 3 months older than mine.... wasn't planning on that outcome today. Wish Telsa would provide a multi-car discount and a loyal customer discount...
If anyone is interested in buying used - I have two loaded P85 Classics that are worth about half what I paid for them... one has the extended warranty and the other is still under factory warranty, I'm in DC - mama wants a new car...
