Evolution - Comparing Tesla's P85 to P100D!

Giving my impressions on going from a 2014 P85 to a 2018 P100D. Highlighting features and updates other owners considering upgrading or those looking CPO might want to know.

The exterior size is almost exactly the same as the P85. The only panels that are different are the hood, bumpers and rocker panels. The weight on the P100D is about 200lbs more than the P85.

I think it feels smaller due to the dark headliner and center console; and lighter due to tuning improvements with additional power.

I have a 2015 85D and 2018 P100D, I like the softness of the new seats but I miss the bowling alley (yacht floor).

great video BT! as nice as the new P100D is, you make me appreciate my old '13 P85 even more. thank you for posting this!

[jonathanmcrisp]

I'm watching him drive and thinking "Why does this road look familiar??" He's in NJ! lol

[JohnNguyenVincent]

great comparison, exactly what i was looking for. A owner's perspective.

[Richard-ieif]

that yacht floor is a winner! never seen that before but would take it, the super deep console they put in now is bizarre, can almost stick your whole arm down in it looking for stuff

[Phooeysphotos]

Thank you. It makes me still love my p85. I know that the newest cars are quieter and tighter smoother but they also cost 2 times as much. You have the best comparison videos. My last loaner was a p85d and I could feel that handling improvement. You will love that car and whomever got your first kitt will love it too

As a Tesla owner, you should ALSO tell people that they can get a 5 year
extended warranty if they use your referral code to get Tesla Solar
Panels. This is a huge thing that one very well spoken Tesla Energy
representative explained to me but I hadn't considered until late last
year.
For a long time I was under the impression that Tesla solar panels would
be really expensive. Until he explained that because Tesla is one of
the only solar companies in the US that ACTUALLY manufactures their own
solar panels within the USA (Gigafactory 2 in New York) they are able to
avoid the Trump tarrifs on imported solar panels from China. So while
others raised their prices, Tesla actually reduced it's prices this
year.

In addition to this, Tesla also offers a payment plan in California,
where you can order the solar panels with NO DOWNPAYMENT!!!
You simply finance (I would never LEASE solar panels) the cost by paying
a very low monthly payment that would effectively replace your
electricity bill.
i.e. instead of paying PG&E $140/month for electricity (which is my
rough average bill), I am now paying Tesla $150/month for the next 10
this implies that I am more or less BUYING my solar
panels for $100 a year for 10 years! And after that is done, I will be
powering my home AS WELL AS my Nissan Leaf (hopefully, I would have a
Tesla by then) ABSOLUTELY FREE for the next 15 years (under warranty)!!!

I am also told that you can add a Powerwall to this FINANCING plan for
some extra $50/month I guess, and still NO DOWN PAYMENT! That is
amazing!!!

The steering things are because they changed the suspension setup when they introduced the dual motor cars in the previous generation

Prospect ave I used to live over there. Im. buying a p100d soon thanks.

Help me understand: With the Executive option you can not fold the rear seats down or you can not fold them down without removing the cup holders? I am making up my mind on the P85 vs P85D. I could really use some clarifiacation. Thank you!

[AmadeusRE]

As far as the lights go you can get aftermarket upgrades pretty good quality and good prices to get the brighter lights back...

[viperko]

I might be mistaken but I think you mean it can now support 5ghz wifi, not 5g

[michaeltavares]

@20:34 I noticed that your P for parking appeared on the left side is that something new?

[Honestyalwaysprevails]

But when you consider the cost to change and immediate loss from depreciation is it worth changing? Certainly not for me and my p85. I reckon the change will have cost you £50000 over next 2 years....how much would repairs to p85 cost if you took out extra warranty? Makes no sense to me but hope you enjoy. 👍

[JustinCrediblename]

I wonder if you can find a standalone male buckle for your rear middle seat belt concern.

[svenlobeto]

Where can I find the info about the 5G antenna in the mirror? Sounds cool.

[NomadMMD]

Did you ever try "Chill mode"? Maybe that would help you get back down to the 300 Wh/mi for the P100D.

[Cloxxki]

I'd love to seem them next to each other on a long test oval. From a stop, pedal down, and never lift. To see what actually happens. How do top speeds compare and how far will they get before the first car runs out of juice?

[InternetDude]

Are you sure there are P100D door sills? I need them!!!!
