What can someone expect for range today on a 2015/2016 P85D?

Kinda sounds like you should have got a Model X.I wanted a hatch back.
I wanted enough space to take my family on road trips (I live in New England and thus have good supercharger coverage)
I wasn't interested in FSD
I'm not interested in ultimate performance
I'm not concerned with things like maximum charging speed
I ended up with a 2016 S 90D.
That was my impression when I had a S85 as a loaner, while my M3 was at the SC getting Homelink installed. Don't get me wrong, the S is a nice car, just not for me.
I just went through the same decision process and ended up with a '14 P85D. Prior to this I had a BMW M2, Audi RS5, and a BMW M3 before that. Performance and handling are important to me so I knew I needed a performance dual motor to keep me happy. For me it came down to interior, styling, and practicality. I like the S exterior much better, especially with the 21" wheels. I also much prefer the S interior - the centre screen, having a gauge cluster, plus the next-gen seats are great. Then the practicality of having a hatchback - the trunk is great. I have AP1 which works great for my commute. I don't really care about FSD so that wasn't a selling feature for me.
A good friend of mine has a Model 3 SR+ and I've spent a good amount of time in it, and drove it quite a few times before I made my decision and I absolutely prefer the way my S drives.
I must say though, if you get a P85D, go for an early build (up to Mar 2015 I believe?) and it will come with the "plus" suspension which makes it ride and handle like a completely different car compared to other Model S'. The P100D loaner I had was floaty and drove like a large car. My P85D drives like a sports sedan.
I'm sure you'll be happy either way. Just drive both and see which one you prefer.
Afraid of the air suspension being floaty and not sporty. Also, had M3s and RS4s. Reason i'm slightly leaning toward the M3S right now because of lots complaining the S feels like a boat.
That's exactly what I did. In March, I found a near-perfect 2015 Model S P90DL, with only 29,000 miles, for $62,000.If depreciation is a factor in your decision making, then it seems to me your decision should already have been made. Buy the 4 year old S where somebody else paid the 50% loss.
Early P85D's had the + suspension and from what every owner has said, it is the best handling car Tesla ever made.
porterror- any chance you also owned a ferrari at one point?
is the + suspension code for "air suspension"? If so, they are great, but big bucks to repair replace later in life (20k+ replacement on landrover/merc cars). Also, love the jeep. I currently might be trading in my 2017 JKUHR (2" mopar lift) for this tesla...really sad.

I did once debate about getting a 360, they can be had around 60-80k. I'm still currently interested in finding an old NSX in that range.
