So, how's the car?Today is the day! Got almost no sleep last night. Hopefully my lack of fighter pilot training won't be too bad.

Just took delivery of the fastest ship in the galaxy. The acceleration is mind bending, enough to cause my wife to hit me a couple of times and yell some obscenities I don't remember right now Its been a long journey since my accident, but well worth the wait and troubles I've been through. Thanks to everyone for your support and camaraderie along the way!
By the way, it is a little more than 283 at 90%. Will find out more numbers as the months go along.

Thanks!! The acceleration is hard to describe, its so sudden and forceful. There is zero front motor whine. Its not the absence of sound or better sound proofing, there is a sound, it just sounds different, more like an actual (quiet) motor. I'm just speculating here, but it could be a different motor/inverter or whatever.
Great minds think alike! I love the color combo with the wheels too. I try to keep the suspension on "low" to really fill those wheel wells
Interestingly, my DS just told me that my car will be built the first week of October, end of line by the 7th. I hear the DS is often quite out of the loop, but if true this contradicts the first-week-of-the-quarter-off theory. Will keep you posted!

May I ask, if possible can you charge to 100% and post how many miles it charged to.
Thank you
Just picked up an Obsidian on Tan and this description is spot on. It is at the same time more luxurious than my former P85D(more quiet, more comfy seats, beautiful wood trim), and more sporty (brutally amazing throw back head snapping acceleration.)
The P85D was not a noisy car by any means but this is really silent. Reminds me of noticing the quietude in your house when the power goes off during a storm.

Thanks! Will do it on my next road trip.
Was just thinking that driving to/from work today for the first time. The car feels much more premium. It is so silent yet sporty, and the seats are very very comfortable. Ingress/egress is also easier in the premium seats since the side bolsters on the seat bottoms are softer and less prominent than the next gens.
AP in v8.0 in stop/go traffic really shined. Accelerating and braking was very smooth and I didn't have to nudge the accelerator like I did in 7.1 when a red light turned green. The radar really seems to be working well. Braking happened much earlier and gradually than usual.
Sept 17th put a deposit down around 6pm and got an email saying process ordered. That same night I got another email assigning me a vin #. After a week I got an email saying the car Is in production and expected Delivery time is early october.

I did a few launches today and my usual Tesla Grin turned into a Tesla maniacal ridiculous laugh. The acceleration is just hard to believe and prepare for that all I could do is laugh in astonishment and shake my head.

It occurred to me, since it's taking a lot longer for my car to hit production than others it seems, I wonder if they only build right-hand drive models on the production line at particular times (I'm in the UK)? It would make sense since I imagine it requires a bit of reconfiguration, or at the very least it would probably be a bit slower for the robots and workers to switch between configurations at random. Maybe they only do them at the beginning of the month, or even the quarter (mine's scheduled to be built the first week of the quarter)?
Very beginning of each quarter they focus on far away deliveries so it can count towards quarter number. That plus "week maintance" at beginning of each quarter is probably what you are experiencing.
If you are talking about P100D, I think the delay for EU deliveries is not related to left hand drive or right hand drive. It is because of the very limited production of 100 kwh battery. Demand far exceed supply here. I read somewhere that say expecting late Nov to Dec for UK P100D delivery.
It's kind of hidden. A drawer
Strange, if it has USB it should have cup holders. They are in a small tray in the back of the center console near the floor under the backseat USB ports.
