My 85D is in production now. I asked after the announcement if I could upgrade to the 90D. The sales guy said yes, but with the $500 penalty. I thought it would be cool to have the new tech, so told them to go ahead.
Today I got a call from the sales manager at the Tesla store. She basically said that the $3k plus the $500 penalty probably isn't worth it because they anticipate that the post-delivery upgrade from 85D to 90D is going to be right around $3k anyway. She encouraged me to try out the 85D and decide later if the 90D is needed. If so, I can always upgrade the pack later.
She was clear that she didn't know the exact pricing on the post-delivery upgrade, but sounded confident it would be pretty close to, if not exactly, $3k.
She also mentioned my car was being painted, and should be done at the end of the week!!!
Thought I'd share,
Ryan
