You might be a bit mixed up on the Tesla lineup. The P models are the high-end performance versions (the P is for "performance"). There's no such thing as a stripped-down P Tesla. There was never a 65 of any variety. There was a 60, but there was never a P60. Right now the lineup is 70D, 85, 85D, P85D. (The D being for "Dual motor" i.e. all wheel drive.) Previously there was a 60 instead of the 70D. Long ago there was a 40, but it got discontinued almost instantaneously.
My own anecdotal experience is that virtually every Tesla on the road is an 85, with 85D starting to supplant it now, and the 70D probably going to start taking that crown once it ships.
I bought my 85 with lots of reasonable/useful options (tech package, sunroof, rear seats) but without the frilly stuff (high-end sound system, "premium interior") and it was comfortably under $100,000 even without counting the federal tax credit.
I wouldn't object too strenuously to rounding my price up to "100k" as part of discussions like this, though.
My mistake, I knew P stood for performance so just a typo. Its been so long since Ive seen the 60 that I couldnt remember the model designation. Either way, I still think my argument stands as reasonable...
