Oh, darn, I really like those LED headlights but just got my P85D delivered. Wonder if they'll retrofit?

Ug, they went back to putting gas savings into the price they put in the order page .. Shady advertising in my opinion, I want to see the price I will have to pay front and center.

Tesla cuts 60kW Model S, entry-level Model S is now 70D.
There is a cash price listed. Don't see LED headlights anywhere. May delivery for 70D, late May for everything else.

I wonder if anyone with a car on order is allowed to switch to the 70D (meaning - anyone with MS60 or MS85D?) I imagine MS60 upgrades would be allowed, but how about S85D downgrades? The buyer may not need the full 85 kWh but did want the D - so I suspect there are some who would want that downgrade for price and color choices.
>>> Website back; 329hp
Website slow. I imagine all the financial guys are slamming it.

I was on the Design Studio briefly and now it won't load but I did notice that the S85 can be ordered in a rear wheel drive configuration at a $5000 discount. My ideal configuration, if I were to get the sedan, seem to be about the same cash price.

The rear next-gen seats have gone backwards in time too. Now looks more like the original seats.

I still don't see why Tesla doesn't offer a P85 anymore. You can order the S85 but not a P85. Not everyone wants or needs AWD, but some folks might want the increased performance.
Currently red is the only adventurous one and they should at least have one other.

Most likely an 85 that is software limited. Remember, there are 16 battery modules in the battery pack so they're either software limiting the pack or reducing the module count. Since we haven't seen the inside of a 60Kw pack it can be either way...

What a surprise. Had a lot of people foreseen this?
They upped the power of 85D to 422 hp at the same time

They seem to have tweaked the option packs for all models - the power tailgate, lighted door handles and fog/cornering lights have all been moved to the expensive Premium pack. So if you really want fog lights, you will have to cough up for extended leather, interior lighting, etc.
Also, cannot believe that the only extra they include with the P85D is the red calipers! Not even the spolier. :/

Makes sense. There were clear hints that the MX lower end battery had to have more than 60 kWh to get 200 miles. Probably done in preparation for MX but made available early for MS.

Would the weight difference between 70 and 85 have a significant or measurable effect on range?
I think this may be a sign that the S85 is going the way of the dodo bird, and all new S's and X's will be AWD. It probably streamlines manufacturing to only have one config. Depends on the S85 vs S85D popularity.
