Hi guys, perhaps I shouldn't even be in this thread now because we picked up our MYLR on Wednesday morning. Cut me some slack. Our experience so far...
DELIVERY: As with the ordering process it was good I thought. Nothing like any other vehicle I've bought but quick and to the point. Pickup was Tesla Pinkenba QLD (Brisbane). In at 11am out at 11.25am.
THE CAR: MYLR, white with black and induction wheels. The car was clean and in good condition. No faults found except the bonnet being ever so slightly lower than the guards. Probably an adjustment but nothing to worry about. Inside was, to our eyes, in perfect condition. Tesla has a reputation for poor build quality, well maybe in the USA but it appears the Shanghai (Chinese) RHD variety are damn good.
DRIVING HOME: Holy cow! Sensational comes to mind. We test drove a vehicle before buying but the vehicle is way better to drive than I'd imagined. The quietest drive I've ever experienced on the road from Brisbane to Noosa easily exceeding our BMW X5 with double glazed windows. Our current car, Mercedes Benz E class diesel isn't in the same league. Performance wise (we have the LR) is sensational but to be truthful, it's very rarely needed if you're a half decent driver. Handling is great too but there is definitely a learning curve in the overall experience. getting used to everything being controlled from the screen is strange at first but I'm sure it'll be easy with experience.
I might pop back in here to give an update later but for all of you still waiting, don't despair, delivery will come soon enough and I promise the wait was worth it.
