Hi,
Been following this thread while I've waited for my 85D, which made the wait slightly more manageable, so thanks to everyone! Finally got it today. Just want to clarify a few things. This car does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds (using my stopwatch), as has been mentioned before, which as you know is significantly quicker than the 5.2 quoted, which means TESLA is likely deliberately widening the gap compared to the P85D (which is actually nearly identical to its quoted time). So for people considering the P85D, make sure 1.2 seconds is worth 18k.
More impressive than the 0-X acceleration is the 40-60, 50-70 times of approx 2 seconds, similar to a Veyron while in top gear. Enjoy watching the rear camera as adjacent moving cars start to appear as stationary objects and you repeatedly mutter "Oh my God."
The frunk space is SIGNIFICANTLY diminished compared to an 85. People who used to put a spare tire in the frunk will no longer be able to do so. Also didn't know frunk can get bent ridiculously easily so close properly.
Open the charge port by holding the rear trunk button on your key (my Tesla advisor didn't know that wtf)
Slacker and 3G are only free for 4 years--have no idea what it will cost afterwards. I'm not sold on their maintenance plans.
Very annoying that there are very few usable "pockets" but you guys already know that. Also as you know, interior is nowhere near an S class
But it's okay, everyone looks at you as if you're from outer space, even the little kids who know nothing about cars--this car has presence.
6.2 is currently rolling out; some have already received the update.
The wait was absolutely horrible but soooo worth it! Hope this helps as some of you await the big day!
