Early December delivery (my salesperson said I was #3). Got my performance seats in spring, so had to wait less than many others. In summation, no regrets, unless I find I need new sensors for autonomous driving that can't be retrofitted. I want as much autonomous driving as I can have, it will...

Just a heads up on shipping. Not all shippers are the same. 10 years ago got my car delivered cross country, all tires were flat, the car was coated in mud, and the battery was dead.

I've driven across country 10 times, but not recently. I floated the idea of going from Silicon Valley to Disney World and Miami, and my wife and daughter's vetoed, even though I've got a P85D and it's a fun car to drive. Like mentioned above, maybe you can persuade a buddy to go with you and...

Would be interested to see the same poll for the P85D. I honestly love my car, but it's by far the most expensive car I've ever bought, and my purchase rationalization was stretching it.

The great thing about the P85D is you get to have fun at legal speed limits. Every red light, every stop sign become a launch point. I just got the 6.2.153 update, and car now does 0-60mph in 3.05, and top speed of 155 mph.

Yes, I've also gotten mine to 133 mph. That seems to be the current limit. I've got the P85D. Obviously it's one of the fastest 0-60, but I also haven't had a car yet that was faster 60-90 mph, but it may just have been inexperienced drivers. But the drop in torque is definitely noticeable...

After two months, the thrill still hasn't worn off for me. I volunteer to do small shopping trips and pick up and drop off the kids. Used to speed up for yellow lights, now I'd rather get the red light in pole position (or so my Walter Mitty side of my brain describes it).

Huge Rush fan, how do I request a song in slacker?

I was able to get some good watt-hours per mile numbers going up and coming back. Apologies but most are screenshots of my trip energy usage, will take some time to put into machine readable data. However, anecdotally I was able to glean some insights. I got the .140 firmware for the ride back...

Software is not free to develop. However, many companies, Tesla included, build in the cost of continued software development and maintenance into the cost of hardware. You absolutely don't have a case. You didn't order the hardware, and as such, you don't get the software either.

Also staying on topic: I got the 3rd P85D at Fremont. Definitely no swag, lots of confusion, but couldn't be happier with the car. Answering question: Call the Santana Row store. They'll move the chains out of the way and let you charge any time. Oh, and Mercedes hasn't gotten the memo not to...

Yep, bought my P85D at Santana Row, and you'd look at me and say either homeless person, tenured science professor, or typical Silicon Valley developer. Looks do not matter out here.

I am beyond stoked for these supercharger sites. I travel at least twice yearly to death valley, to the white mountains and bristlecone pines, and up 395 and over either Tioga pass or 108.

Yep, 3 weeks in now and I'm still giggling like a child each time I miss a yellow light and have to stop.

Not chilly at all. Sunny California. Granted I've done at least 10 ridealongs in the last few days, which means, hey let's see what this thing can do. - - - Updated - - - I believe the remaining miles is different from the average usage.
