I just don't understand the desire for AWD, except in the northern states. Especially since the front motor takes away a huge chunk of what makes the Model S so special: its utility. The frunk in the D is small enough that it makes it hard to use the jump seats--no space for luggage or anything else up there.

The P85 was so cool because it had no compromises at all for the performance over the regular car. The P85D is *all* compromise--less space, less range, and for what? The 1.3G hole shot thing is cool, but not worth the tradeoff, imho.

The 85D will allegedly have better range than the 85, but after the fiasco with the P85D I'd want to see the reality before I counted on that.
