Not everyone buys a Tesla for its acceleration. I’m probably just jealous, but it gets a little old reading about how fast everyone’s cars are. I would think that the acceleration of the base models would be more than adequate for most people.This thread is making me laugh my a** off.....it should be called "Who the Chevy Volt Was Made For"
Model S but as I said was a little sick so my brain was rendering a bit slow the visual informationWere your driving a Model 3 and couldn't find the speedometer?
If your reflexes are impaired, you probably shouldn't be driving (forget speeding, think pedestrians on hour hood because your brain didn't register them in time). If acceleration is what impairs your brain, that is what "chill" mode is for.Model S but as I said was a little sick so my brain was rendering a bit slow the visual information

My point was you can get a 72A charger on a 75 if you really need it. It used to be a factory option, now you have to do it via service center - still much cheaper than buying a 100 battery.Up to 1.5x faster on AC charging, but I agree real advantage is faster supercharging which when coupled with added range significantly reduces charging time on trips.
If an extra 24A matters to you (48 to 72) then maybe an additional 8A would also matter. That said, I also rarely need to charge at 80A. It did come handy when my wife and I had to share a charger for a while when parking on our driveway for a few weeks while our garage was converted into a workshop for a kitchen remodel we were doing. I would charge my car at 80A and leave hers to charge overnight at 48A. Usually I charge at 40A and she charges at 48A, but soon (whenever Elon gets around to signing my referral charger) each car will get their own HPWC sharing 80A between the two.10% faster than 72A charger - not much of a difference. AC charging speed is rarely a concern now with so many DC chargers out there - I rarely charge at 80A.
Odd that you would choose to try out Ludicrous then.As I get older I find I can't do roller coasters like I use to and avoid them especially if the G force is high.
The gap between P85D Insane (3.2) and P100D Ludicrous (2.3-2.5) is significant.I have a P85D without Ludicrous but close enough, so I know the feeling you are referring to. It's definitely not for everyone. But for those it is for, it is a beautiful, beautiful thing.
You're thinking of Lud+. Lud is just a settle toggle that persists.Well . . . It does ask if you want your mommy before enabling - lol
A 6-month depreciation on a P100D probably would eat up most if not all the price difference to a 100D. P100D has the largest profit margin so to Tesla it's probably worth no more than 70% of the value since they could just manufacture a new one for 75% of the new price. How much did you get back or pay to trade a 6 month old P100D to a new 100D?So traded it back and got the 100D instead which I drive more sedately. Why not just chill mode on the P you may ask? Well..why pay for a P and drive it like a civic?

I was afraid of that. Well, that gives me even more reason to eventually move on to the P100D.
