delivery of my P85D at 2 pm today at factory - so excited.
Now production complete! That was a little fast for my liking. I know I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, while others are lingering in the black hole for weeks, but should they really be able to build a car --that-- quickly? I guess I can just hope that the status update of when the vehicle really started production was delayed, and that this one is accurate. I'll update again when I hear from my DS about a delivery date, which I expect may happen tomorrow. I have no idea about seats, but haven't heard that I don't have the seats I ordered, which are the Next Generation grey.
I have updated the spreadsheet.
excellent! Enjoy!delivery of my P85D at 2 pm today at factory - so excited.
Something I can't find in this thread or Google (I'm sorry if I overlooked it):
1. What exactly changes when you choose "insane"?
Does it map the motors a different way for a high output?
Does it change the effort for the steering wheel?
Does it change the sensitivity of the throttle?
Does it tighten the suspension?
2. Is there a manual for the P85D (I found the old manual in My Tesla, but no updated version for the P85D).
Thanks for the videos Marc!
It could be that your car was actually in production longer than what was reflected on the status page and someone just got around to flipping the bits. I think we're all assuming the production status update is automated with the steps on the factory floor.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Tesla has implemented the reporting of Rated range for the combined EPA number, only. I.e., it shouldn't matter whether the car is set to Sport mode or Insane mode: the Rated range won't change.

It probably does change when set to Insane mode. You should be able to go further if the car deliver power to the motor which has the most efficiency gearing at that given speed. Insane probably deliver max power to both motors.I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Tesla has implemented the reporting of Rated range for the combined EPA number, only.

The car can still go a longer distance even if the calculated range left is stuck in the worst-case algorithm. Displayed rated-range has no impact on how far you actually go. And if normal/sport-mode is indeed more efficient then you will get to travel a longer distance even if the rated-range might be a bit misleading.It probably does change when set to Insane mode.

Thank you for being TMC's "special assignment" reporter, Mark.
I was wondering what mode this 219 mile 90% was done at - SPORT or INSANE. If it was in INSANE mode, could you put the slider into the SPORT mode, and record what would be the 90% rated charge? I think that efficiency in SPORT mode has to be better than in the INSANE mode, and it might be reflected on the display by showing the longer range in SPORT mode. To check this theory you might need to do two recharges in the SPORT mode and see if rated miles after the second 90% charge are higher than 219.
Another thing I was wondering about is that although the 90% 219 miles charge prorates to 219 / .09 = 243 miles at 100%, the 76 miles range in the app snap shot shows 30% state of charge, which would indicate 76 / 0.3 = 253 miles at 100%. Could it be that you've got 219 miles at 90% charge not immediately after the completion of the charge, but some time later? If that is what happened, do you know approximately how much time have passed after the charge and the time you've recorded the 219 miles, and what was the ambient temperature the car was sitting in?
Thanks
Wonder if they'll make a distinction for 19" wheels vs 21" ones. I think @MarcG has 21s?!
Well before I charged overnight I think I was in SPORT, and it definitely got to 90% and stopped charging an hour or two before I checked it. Ambient temps around 10C (50F). I supercharged to 90% at Roseville and got to 220 - this while in SPORT mode since I left the house:

Mark. Hi. Just finished from a test drive at the NYC location. I'm a current p85+owner waiting delivery of my p85d.
I want able to get the kwh above 440 while test driving. Held the pedal down many times. Charge was about 50% what output are you maxing at ....at 1/2 charge and at full charge. I know my current 85+ maxes around 330kwh. Hoping we can get to the claimed 515. Thanks!
You know... I think it is very cool of Tesla to deliver cars with "regular" Nappa seats to customers then switch to Next Gen once the issue is resolved. I mean really, most manufacturers would simply delay delivery and what will they do with all the returned Nappa seats?? Sounds like an opportunity for those with Textile or other early seats to purchase an upgrade from Tesla in the next month or two...
Also very much looking forward to hearing if Doc's 2pm delivery comes with next gen grey seats or not - especially as he wasn't told to expect otherwise.
Please take ate lots of photos of the interior as that is what I have on order (grey next gen). Thank you!
