As per my previous thread, I'm thinking about buying a new Model S 90D.

I've read somewhere Tesla don't discount prices at all. Is that right? If so, does that apply to the base price only or on options too?

If anyone has managed to negotiate some form of discount, can you share what it was? (Here or by PM/email if you prefer)

Lastly, what are the must have options? (I won't be opting for the larger wheels despite the fact that they look much better. (IMO anyway.)

There has been referral programs going where a Tesla owner sends you a link and you get £1000 off the price by using their link.

I've heard about this promotion too. Hopefully it'll still be running at the point I place an order.

My thinking is on options currently is Auto Pilot, Next gen seats, metallic paint, Sub Zero Weather package and rear facing seats are my must have options. The sunroof would be nice but it's price at over £2k. Am I right in thinking you loose some headroom in the back with the sunroof?

I haven't yet driven one with air suspension so undecided about that. I think if it means a more comfortable ride on the motorway, I'll probably want that too. Not sure that's the case though? Anyone care to confirm?

As I'm going to have charging points on each site, I'm not sure I need to worry about the range upgrade?

If your buying new I would wait till March when Tesla is due to announce the Model 3, there are also rumours that the S is due a mild 'face-lift' the exterior of the car hasn't changed since 2012 and the new Model X has a different nose design which Tesla may/may not want to carry over to the S.

This is where I'm stuck. I might have to delay the order until at least March. frown

I'm 99% I'll end up in a Tesla in the next 12 months, simply a matter of deciding how/when, new/used, finance/cash, S or X.
You and me both. Although I'm not considering the X this time around.

PADRON THE FORMATTING, COULD NOT HAVE GOT IT MORE WRONG!!
