No longer the only Tesla in the village. Spotted in Macleay Street Potts Point earlier this evening.
Is that you Mark E out for a celebratory dinner?

Not in Potts point - I was in the city today though & stopped in the service centre at St. Leonards to pick up the Tesla pano and rear window screens plus the air compressor/tyre goo kit. I managed to snap this just for you....

Mine was in getting its "85KWH" plates and an additional wall connector.

Does that mean they have the Tesla tyre compressor/goo in stock or was it a special order?

I emailed them about it and from what I could discern it was local stock. It took a little while to get arranged though as the I started all of this just before xmas. With the xmas break etc I can understand the delays. I have also tyre repair plugs in the boot, which I'd probably use first, with the compressor to inflate again.
I parked in the sun today and got to test the sunshield and roof and back window covers - they do seem to keep a reasonable amount of heat out of the car.

The used to say that ICE cars 'purred like a kitten', with a Tesla you have to take the cat with you to hear any purring!
Is there a term for an EV, 'hummed like a vacuum cleaner' doesn't sound quite right.

So, received in the last few days? After a 6 year wait? Now that's one record that will never be beaten!

He picked it up today, Higgy.
5 years and 4 months from date of deposit. I'll be the one waiting 6 years!

4 years was almost too long for me. Not sure how you could have postponed for the additional power. The plain S is plenty powerful, and I only ever use about 80% of it when showing off!!
You're not really giving the best demos then! I regularly use all the power of my P85+ so I think ISBrown made the right decision to upgrade.

You can really feel the difference between the P and the standard 85. When you think about the P - it's 20% faster! Lucky the one I have at the moment is also a standard 85 so when I switch over to my car it will be the same.
The best way I've found to demo the true power, even on an 85, is to floor it from 0-60 (oh yeah, not bad, that's cool, some other supercars feel faster etc etc), and then slow down to around 45, and then floor it again to 90-100. It's that second acceleration that's the most mind blowing, even for me, because people aren't used to that kind of acceleration "in gear". Of course I only do this on deserted freeways...
