and it does

the big deal is the range, and of course the new vs used car. the range can be irrelevant if you never plan on taking the car on a trip, or it could be a deal breaker. the p100ds are all newer cars which have a ton of differences beyond just the nosecone. center console, seats, interior options, colors, materials, ap2, lte, smaller frunk and so on.

i took my p85d on a coast-to-coast trip with no range issues whatsoever. 6000 miles in 2 weeks - 5200 of it in 8 days. 100d range can be useful in some specific driving situations, but probably not most. this is why for our second model s we knew 75d will work just fine (theoretically it actually has a higher rated range than p85d ) - and it does.

you are right about the p100d having no nosecone, center console and newer seats. not sure what you mean by "interior options, colors, materials" unless you mean p85d had more options available - more exterior colors (free solid white), more interior combinations (only 4 today, back then over 20 iirc), actual leather vs. simulated leather, alcantara dashboard if you wanted it, solid roof, yacht floor or center console vs. only console now. ap2 is still not on par with ap1 (see any cars in adjacent lanes on ap2 yet?). lte came standard on some p85d's, others can upgrade for $500. and yes, p100d has a smaller frunk than p85d (bio-weapon mode). and of course p100d actually delivers the spec power, while p85d owners got scammed by tesla marketing (when they listed 691hp in the car specs, they conveniently "forgot" to mention that it only applies to the motors, but the battery and wiring limits it to 463hp - a fact which they did not admit to until they got sued and settled in europe and p85d was out of production by then, so it didn't hurt new sales).

the biggest difference of course would be the price.
