The 60 is the right car for "most people" (many of those "most people" who also don't know what DC or AC is or what power/energy are). just under 200 mile range on average and most people don't drive that much per day. If they did, it would be 1000+ weeks and 50,000 mile years.
At least 45% or more of orders by named customers since June 11th re-introduction of the MS60 appear to be that MS60 variation, including to HongKong, Europe and other. The reason is people are not lured into range anxiety issues as they once were a few years ago. The more they know, the less on-board energy *and* power is needed. And, as more superchargers exist, range anxiety drops. And economically, the MS 60 is good. What they are doing with the car is back-loading it with "value" such that as a CPO they can sell it for more. How much more? maybe $4000 more - and not $9000 as a CPO option. A CPO MS60 in 3 years will definitely not be $9000 cheaper than a CPO "switch-flipped" MS75. In fact, the same kind of buyer will be wanting them to "un-switch-flip" the CPO down to a 60 if the delta is too large. At the same time, the Model 3 and other cars on the market will make MS75 or 90 even less desirable on battery capacity alone. The power aspects (hot acceleration) of P90D and P90DL will be a calling card and 3-4 year old cars will be under a demand cycle of appx 50% of original price. Just as we see now with the P85+ and P85 RWD sales. The value Musk talked about on the ER Q&A session may be good to talk-up with banking partners ("we will get thousands more at CPO time when we sell a 60 today, 75 as CPO - good for residual value") but what will that true value delta be in 3-years that the market will bear? Nobody knows - too far off.
