I think that you are going to be very happy. If I were to do it again, my build would be almost identical to yours minus the sound upgrade, which is funny since I currently have a Grey S85, Black leather, etc.:wink:Having 31,000 Model S miles under my belt helped me decide which options were worth it. It also helped me with a decision on which car to get. No other car entered my mind.

My apologies in taking so long to respond.
My premium through Encompass for 250/500 comprehensive coverage, $500 deductible, windshield coverage, agreed value and inclusion in my $1M umbrella policy came to around $1,300 per year w/ multi policy discount. You can probably get it for less if you don't need umbrella coverage, then you can reduce your comprehensive to 100/300 and bump upyour deductible.
Unfortunately I don't know, but when it comes up for renewal in a year I will definitely know and would be happy to share the info.

Sorry to hear about the accident, I hate reading threads like this. Your spec was more or less the same as mine, and I agree with your new spec (and the bit about getting used to the standard 85!), but I'd go for the new grey having seen the side by side pics on another thread, and pass on the sound upgrade and go straight for the Reus upgrade instead.
So sorry to hear about the accident. I'm sure you along with all of us try to take great care of our wonderful, BEST CAR ON THE PLANET, MODEL S. Glad everyone is OK. About your new build, I have never driven a more smooth car, some of that is obviously because no ICE but I do attribute it also to the air suspension. I would at least drive one without it first to see if it made a difference. If I couldn't drive one first, I would have to order the air suspension for fear it would not be as smooth.Just my thoughts. I hope you get your car soon.
Just confirmed my new P85 order...er...9 minutes ago. All is as I posted a few posts up but I made two changes:
1. I'm going to get the tan interior, not black interior.
2. I'm not getting Tesla's sound upgrade. Couldn't justify the cost given the so-so quality. Instead, I'll be getting the Reus aftermarket sound system. (Talked to Rick and Cliff on the phone and they seem really nice!)

@AmpedRealtor, having checked with my present insurer, I don't qualify because this is the only car I have registered in my name, and I drive it routinely. Did you encounter issues related to those constraints?
No, they simply asked me how many miles do I drive annually and whether I have experience driving performance cars. I do own multiple vehicles, however, so my name is on title to more than one car and several properties which were also covered at the same time.
I wonder if they will ever agree that a car is a total loss or, would they try to fix it. In other words, they will not want to declare it totaled.

Another option for you: At REFUEL 2014, there was a guy there with Tesla 19s who had power coated them black. I thought they looked excellent on his black car. 19" tires are cheaper and wear better.
<snip>
So, this morning I did just that. Here's my new config:
Black P85
Alcantara Headliner
Alcantara Dashboard Trim
Pano Roof
Coil Suspension
Black Nappa Leather Seats
Carbon Fiber Decor
Carbon Fiber Spoiler
Parking Sensors
Premium Lighting
Tech Package
Red Brake Calipers
Sound Upgrade
Standard 19" Wheels.
I think I will remove the 19s at delivery, sell them, and replace them with aftermarket black 20" wheels. If anyone will be in the market for a new pair of 19" tires with wheels around October, let me know
</snip>
Everyone who needs winter wheels should be PMing Todd like crazy to get those 19s ...
My latest thought is that I'm going to get the 19" matte black TSportlines and swap the tires/TPMS at delivery, so I'm open to offers for anyone who wants fresh standard 19s that will only have a few miles on them.
Well, here she is!
Just picked her up today, 10 days prior to expected delivery date. Soooooo nice to be back in the Tesla saddle again! Be on the lookout soon for a detailed "VIN1653 vs. VIN55228: Model S Evolution" thread in which I'll detail how things have changed on the Model S over the last 2 years.
