I'm continuously blown away by the level of service I've received from Tesla, so I'll post this as another two thumbs up experience.
Brought my 2015 Model S 70D in for the 2nd annual/25k mile service to Tesla Torrance this time since they're down where I work, and I figured I'd drop it off on my lunch break. They were able to get me in on 2 days' notice. I was surprised at how quickly they were able to get me in...I figured maybe someone cancelled? Last time I was at the Costa Mesa Service Center for my 1st annual 12.5k mile checkup, they were booked solid for a good month or so. In any case, I dropped off the car at 1230PM and by 5PM they had called me to let me know my car was done.
They were also kind enough to get me into another Model S loaner, and not just any loaner. They gave me a brand new P100DL+ without batting an eye. I hopped in and the odometer had less than 1,000 miles, VIN was I think 172xxx if I recall correctly.
The loaner was capped at 85MPH as a top speed, and I was able to experience the power behind the car. I did 2 so-so launches...I say so-so because after the first second or so, I let off the accelerator. This car really felt like I was being launched from a rocket! I was actually quite glad to get the loaner back to the Service Center, because quite frankly, having that amount of power is just downright scary for a 4 door sedan/everyday family vehicle, and I did NOT want to be able to have access to that amount of power so easily. Awesome experience, yes, but also a bit scary as I can see how people can get into big trouble with this car if not driven responsibly.
Never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually quite glad to be back in my "vanilla" 70D. More power than I ever need, and just reinforces what I thought before: having no regrets over choosing the "lowly" 70D instead of a higher performing model. Also helps keep me out of trouble = )
