P85D actually. I loved it. I want one. I strongly recommend it.

How about for those who want a long wheelbase luxury car? What can compete with the P85D?

Edit: FUCKA JOO AUTOCORRECT

Puts a smile on your face, doesn't it?

But is it enough to make you want to trade in the 360?

I guess you can say that...you took the D? ;)

Yes, I took the D, and I enjoyed it (no homo)

I’m really hoping that when the Model 3 comes out, it costs what they say it will cost, and it drives like the Model S. I’d love a Model S, but even used prices are more than I’d be comfortable paying.

Grumble... Something about trying to be a responsible adult and buying a house first...grumble grumble.

I’m seriously considering keeping my eyes open for a used P85 (non-D) and trading the Jeep for it (only to buy an older TJ for fun purposes later). The AWD is nice, but in the desert, not needed, and while the autopilot function is cool, not really sure how close to the ‘autonomous’ line I’m willing to get to.

So far used Model S prices still seem pretty high. The lowest I’ve seen is in the $50-$60k range. With the US-CAD exchange rate being so poor for us Canadians, I can’t see myself buying one at least in the next few years.

I have a Tesla dealer 5 minutes from my house. The jealously rages in me on how badly I want one of these cars.

Yea, I’ve seen a few P85s come through for mid 60’s. I would say that's a fair deal.

I wonder how long it would take to buy a model S taking a fist full of Canadian quarters over to Michigan. Exchange out the quarters and use the exchange rate in your favor.

From my understanding, banks don’t exchange coins, only bills. That, and there are laws in place that prevent people from paying unreasonable sums of money in change.
