You have done well Grasshopper. Now it is time for you to face the ultimate test. Brown or Green P85 with Autopilot and 3rd row seats!
I noticed that one as well. I think it's only the 2nd one with autopilot. Any guesses as to when an elusive D model will show up?

I think the Ds will show up within 6 months.
That is a very very sweet car. No doubt.
But here is how I see it - the classic P85, is more or less the same as 85d (acceleration is 0.2 better, range is 20mi lesser).
So a vis-a-vis comparison, that car is an equivalent to 85d (minus red brake calipers and carbon fiber spoiler).
A brand new, exactly similarly spec'ed 85d is $96250 - 7500 = 88750
They want 88200 for a 2014 with 2472 miles = a discount of $550 .. which is more or less negated in your first year's insurance costs (85d is cheaper to insure).
So a discount of $550, and you give up on
- D - matters for winter driving and better handling, though some may prefer RWD.
- an extra 20mi of range for 0.2 sec slower 0-60
- possibly not getting exactly what you want.
- have the 2014 badge on it vs 2015 - which will matter HUGE when it comes to resale value
I think you can do better by looking for inventory cars.
Upon further inspection, I don't think that car is a good deal
.. still .. I have no doubts someone will bite on it within a matter of days!

There are some people who are all about the driving experience of rear wheel drive (drifters? others?) and/or care about the extra frunk space. So while your logic is spot on, for some that logic will be ignored.

Yep, there are those ..
.. willing to bet they are a minority though.One thing I forgot to mention, that particular car has dual chargers, a $3500 option. So if dual charger is important to you ..
..Tesla destination charging is becoming a bigger and bigger deal lately. So dual chargers are nice to have even if you never get HPWC at home.
Still, given the resale value of 2014 vs 2015, still a pass from me atleast!

might have been $3500 some time in the past but it's $2000 to add a 2nd charger now.

When I bought my Inventory car last year, AND when it was built in July'13, the second charger was only a $1500 option (not including HPWC).
All things being equal (same options/specs), with Model S, I don't think model year has much influence over resale value like ICE cars do.

If I recall correctly, prior to the March/April 2015 changes, Twin Chargers were $1,500 from Factory during build, or $3,500 at Service Center after delivery. Now its strictly $2,000 at Service Center after delivery.

exactly, sokuttakamina thinking it is worth $3500 when anyone can go back and retro one for $2000 is a little off.

Ok I was off on the price of the dual charger, but that proves my main point even more - that p85 is not a good buy
I'm one of those people. Was deciding between P85 vs. 85D, but the lack of "frunk" space in the D meant stroller would have to go in the trunk.
We put the baby stroller in frunk, and still have complete full use of trunk (and wifey is happy). So for people with baby/kids and have strollers, the frunk is a nice to have.
And where I live, I don't need AWD and actually prefer RWD. And I have one of those few unicorns...
The deposit was made on May 7 and yesterday I got a message from my DS saying the car will be shipped soon and will arrive in SLC on Monday. I really doubt anyone will be working on Monday, but maybe Tuesday. Getting a little bit anxious here in SLC.You should say it was on the market a short period of time. I just bought it about 10 minutes ago. Seattle here I come.

Which works out since you wanted to delay as long as possible because you still have your Volt. For my car, I'm glad I flew up for it and got it 9 days earlier. Btw, if you need an escort to the store, let me know! Your P85 and my S85 can ride tandem! Lol

It is being delivered from Raleigh via flatbed truck on Saturday. I am not sure if the Charlotte Tesla store is going to be fully staffed due to the holiday weekend - but if it is, I may head that way. I'll invite you over after I get to go through the car with the Nick Howe checklist and stuff.
And the delay did delay my first payment by a month, so one month less of two payments on two cars. Win!

Glad to hear that! I used the checklist and am very glad I did. Took the car to Charlotte Service yesterday and got my appointment scheduled for 6/1 to get the stuff I saw fixed. Sadly, they said they anticipate needing the car for 5 days. Now to wonder what I will get as a loaner!

Well, I can use the Volt as the "loaner" until I give it back to Chevy at the end of summer
What, praytell, is the "Nick Howe Checklist"? Sounds like something I should know about if I am in the market!
