Well at least they are making some blue ones. I still haven't gotten any more info on my 4/1/16 reservation but mine has black interior.
What is your VIN series?
Awesome. As a 4/5/16 Colorado Springs reservation holder, I'm jealous and looking forward to adding another TM3 to the city!

I'm thinking about throwing it on Turo one or two weekends a month to share the love. Wondering if there'd be any demand...
Let me know if you'd be interested

I would think that 95% of that difference is going to be tires. Put some sticky summer tires on the AWD and I'd guess it's going to be basically the same thing. The 20" wheels means lower profile tires, which in theory would give you a bit more handling and the Performance Upgrade lowers the car very slightly. That upgrade package is mostly aesthetics (the 20" wheels) and for track-worthy heat dissipation of the brakes from what I can tell. To be honest, I got that too, but it was mostly because I haven't yet warmed up to the stock 18's.

I think so too. I bet the AWD is just so good that many would just opt for that and skip the P.
I drove my son into Littleton today to pick up his silver-black P3D+ with 20” wheels and white interior. The car was flawless and the service was superb.
The only downside is that I am still waiting for my blue\white P3D+ even though I configured before him and referred him. Unfair!
Well not really since he talked me into the car in the first place. I’m happy for him.
The Littleton Tesla dealership gets 5 stars. It’s a very slick operation. No waiting, friendly staff very anxious to please. They seemed as excited as we were.
Hope things go this well for everyone else.

OMG I got to drive my son’s car for a few minutes. I’m speechless. It’s like no car I have ever driven. I’m driving a BMW 3 Series and there is no comparison. I was on a curvey steep mountain road. The handling and acceleration are unbelievable. Very smooth on the 20” tires. I could go on. No one could drive one of these and not want one. Buy stock!
um, yeah? why do you think we all waited 2+ years for these babies!! glad you enjoyed it, i am also a former-BMW-only driver....not anymore.
Happy for you and jealous for me...still waiting. Congrats! I'll be looking for you around the Springs!

Had the same experience picking mine up on Tuesday. Really, really happy with the delivery experience (and it doesn't hurt that I have yet to find a flaw in the car).

Anybody tried the Supercharger near the airport? I went over there this morning just to see how Supercharging works. (short version: it's completely idiot proof - you just plug in...)
I was only getting 36 kW, which I think is super low for a Supercharger. I was just playing around and didn't actually need a charge (I arrived at 75%), so maybe that's part of it? Or could there be something wrong with that location?

Your charge rate depends on your charge level. You will only get the top rate (> 100 kW) when under 50% charge or so. By 75% 36 kW doesn't sound too far off. Maybe a little low. Above 80% I typically see 30 kW.
