ExactlySince Jan 2013, I've driven two Model S with sunroofs - in Texas - and haven't had any problems, using the sunroof frequently when the temperature is between 60-85 and not driving at highway speeds - and would miss the sunroof if Tesla didn't make it available again on the S when it's time to replace our 2017 S 100D.
Tesla was always going to lose some sales of S/X when 3/Y were introduced, because many S/X owners wouldn't have purchased their S/X in the first place if the lower priced 3/Y was available. So it's not surprising S/X sales declined once the $7500 tax credit expired (while Model 3 was still in limited availability).
To maintain S/X sales, Tesla will have to do more than just having the S/X as larger versions of 3/Y (which should be the case next year when Tesla releases the new S/X battery packs with full V3 supercharging).
And if they really wanted to encourage more S/X owners to purchase replacement S/X today, they'll need to do better than a free Ludicrous mode, because most S/X owners didn't order performance versions before - and probably wouldn't want to lose 25 miles of range and spend $10K more just to get even more acceleration than they can use for daily driving...
Tesla: For S/X - bring back "free long distance supercharging" and take other steps to differentiate S/X from 3/Y (such as including free FSD for owners upgrading from a current S/X?).
the added grip over regular rubber pedals.
Metal has more grip over rubber?
I would upgrade if the Robo Taxi thing is for real, because my existing car would become self-funding. That frees me up to buy another one.So far, more people seem to be leaning to keeping current Model S. Curious what incentives would entice people to make a switch? Perhaps Tesla could buy out current Model S' that have AP 2.5 HW ( i.e. enough HW to support FSD ) for their Robo Taxi fleet to offer a premium service, kind of like Uber Black.....
But do you have a sunroof?I placed my to upgrade Friday, but I have a 2015 P85D and I upgraded to P100DL with free Ludicrous. I upgraded because I wanted more range (got 75 more miles), adaptive suspension, center cubby, Ludicrous, and AP3.
Not the bare metal itself, but the way rubber and sometimes holes are layed out on the pedal gives more grip on sport pedals than the small "riffles" in the rubber that are on regular pedals.
Just did, on April 30th to replace my 2015 P90D. Would have been nice to get to keep free supercharging, but since we also have a 2017 S with unlimited free supercharging, we never take road trips with the 2015 P90D anymore, so it really doesn't matter for our use case (we always charge locally at home). The new S will be great for local + extended local travel (Texas Hill Country).April 2017 S100D owner and I will most likely upgrade to an S Performance before end of quarter. Price of the vehicle now is about the same as what I paid for mine new 2 years ago. The free Ludicrous upgrade is a strong benefit, plus all of the other things standard on the Model S Performance that I did not get on my 2017 vehicle (air suspension, upgraded audio, MCU2, etc.). Free unlimited supercharging is of trivial value, especially given that the current referral program offers "5000 miles" of free supercharging (not sure how many kWh that is by Tesla math, but probably something around 1500).
I have other reasons specific to my vehicle that make me want to "wash my hands" of it, but the Model S Performance for an existing owner with referral code is an excellent value in my situation.
Here is the thing for me, traditional franchised car dealers will inflate the trade value of your trade to spur new vehicle sales. Tesla devalues the trade partially because they don’t have the ability to repair and refurbish to generate a profit. Often traditional car dealers will have factory sponsored conquest or loyalty money to pad up the trade values. By Tesla low balling trades, then initially looking to make large profits on what may be a beat up car without refurbishing it, then finally blowing the beat trades out at a below market value they depress the used value of all other used Teslas. Buyers use the cheapest beat up Tesla CPO cars as the yardstick when setting the values. Tesla should step up offers for clean trades to move vehicles therefore eliminating the excess inventory and resulting rush of fire sale pricing at end of bad quarters. Traditional car dealers operate both new vehicle sales and used vehicle sales as professional profitable businesses, Tesla looks at used vehicle sales as an inconvenience to selling new cars.
I thought those "riffles" in the rubber are meant to provide exactly that: more grip. Whereas, the metal is just for the look and slipperier on purpose for the ease of foot transition between pedals. Oh, well ...
Try Vroom. Got a much better offer than from Tesla.I actually went to check how much they would offer for my 85D if I ordered the new long range model. $34k was Tesla’s offer. No, thanks.
Could’ve had an order from me, but with such low balling, they definitely won’t.
My 2015 had a sunroof. I've not opened it once in 4 years....But do you have a sunroof?
I sold my 2015 P85D in one day ($50,000). Told a couple friends I was selling it, and had several people reaching out that they wanted it. Got $5,500 more than Vroom and WAY more than Tesla offered. I asked for a little less than Tesla was asking on their website for the same car.Try Vroom. Got a much better offer than from Tesla.
I'm surprised only about a third of respondents said they would not upgrade. The majority of S's on the road are less than 3 years old, and not much different than what's sold today. There can't be that many Tesla owners that routinely upgrade every three years, which is about what this is. I'll bet a lot of those saying they would upgrade if they got to keep FSD and/or free supercharging actually would not upgrade if offered that, especially once they see how little they would get for their trade-in.
