P90D vs 100D is a really small difference in range so I would be hard pressed to justify a large cost difference based on the minimal range difference. That sure seems like a good deal on a P90D to me.
There is no way to know what is around the corner. In my mind, there are at least 3 competing factors at Tesla:
1) How fast the battery technology is improving. Tesla has some really smart people in Sparks Nevada and hard to say what they are cooking up, what they've figured out to improve batteries (reduce size) and reduce costs.
2) How far the car design engineers are coming along on the new models such as the Model Y. I'm presuming the Model Y will cannibalize much of the Model X sales when the Model Y gets announced?
3) What the Tesla marketing people cook up to work around all these tough issues. Sometimes marketing 'gets it right', sometimes not. Not easy to predict the future and how most people think.
So I think most folks that buy a Tesla finally just figure out you have to make your decision based on what is available today - and forget about trying to second guess what is coming in the future. The products available today are mighty darn nice...
