Passing in the S!
(when the car is new to you)
be very aware of the space between you and the car in front of you.
If you gun it before pulling out into the next lane over you may find yourself close to the car in front of you very quickly
I have done this early on and once this summer passing a logging truck when the passing lane just didn't start to match my uphill speed that had jumped by 35mph in ~2 sec
....almost forgot that was in a non P loaner even!

During my first couple weeks in the Model S, I was once stuck behind a guy towing a boat fairly slowly. I was coming from a Camry 4-banger where you punch the accelerator and you have about half a second (or so) of think time as the gears drop and the engine winds up. Being in the Model S, when I punched it I nearly took out the corner of the boat trailer and had to jerk the wheel hard left to not hit it. I will NEVER make that mistake again, or underestimate the power of these cars.
