P-ness envy

[whitex]

If you ever feel the P-envy like that, think - maybe that's one of the P owners who paid the extra money based on the old Tesla advertised data, and now wish they had a non-P with over $20K in their frunk ;-). Check out this thread (if you have a few hours to kill):
Stop the Press! Tesla announces REAL HP numbers for P85D and P90L

... Very few people have the relative experience to determine a ~3 second run from a 4.2 second 0-60 sprint, purely by seat of the pants feel.

I think he was hoping for a feel of the seat of her pants, in this case... :wink:

Great thread !

My daughter told me her friend's dad asked about my car and autopilot and she told him that our car doesn't have it. He told her to tell me that I just need to download the update....

+1 :biggrin:! That's what happened to us. My son didn't realize that autopilot required more hardware till I explained it to him.

Had a P85 loaner for a few days, and enjoyed some spirited driving. My wife and I remarked that the power on offer in the city was "surplus to requirements". :tongue:

On the highway, the power difference between the various models is somewhat muted compared to the city stop/go.
And it's questionable when you can use all that power. :redface:

Last night on the way home from a road trip, a P85D tootling along in the right lane, while we breezed by in the left. Then again, we had just finished a range charge at the Barrie Ontario charger and a Tesla is always faster on a full charge, didn't everyone know that?
