Final thoughts - what I'm thinking on the train to pick up my 3

[jkirkwood001]

(First off, regrets to all those who still haven't heard from Tesla - I hope ur car comes soon!)

My waiting comes to an end tomorrow morning. And a new journey begins. As I take a peaceful train ride from Ottawa to the Tesla pickup centre in Toronto, the following are on my mind:

1. What is the first song I'll play in my 3? Music is important to me. And the 3 PUP has an amazing sound system. I have moved many times over the years, and each time I set up my sound system, which song I play first is memorable. This time I think I'll play Road to Happiness, which is a song my 25-year-old, music composer son wrote and recorded a few years ago (yup, I'm super proud of him). What was the first song you played in your Tesla?
2. Tesla has missed a huge after-market opportunity! Someone needs to sell a megaphone that plays an engine revving - otherwise, how do all Mustangs and Challengers know we want to race our feeble sedan against them off the line?? Bonus if, instead of it sounding like a low, guteral Ferrari V12 or Corvette V8, it sounds like a Trabant. Or a Pinto. What after-market prop do you think is missing?
3. Many of you have been waiting for a Tesla for years. My obsession only goes back to January of this year. But I gotta say, the visceral excitement I've had reminds me of being a 6-year-old kid on Christmas Eve. It's electric (pun intended). I'm kinda ashamed that I'm this excited about a thing, a car, but I am. I tell myself it's because I feel like I'm contributing to saving the planet, doing something for my two baby granddaughter twins, but I could have done more by just biking and taking public transit. Still, I'm thrilled. I'm going to enjoy it. I just hope my buyer's remorse isn't as severe as I've had for "things" in the past! What do you feel about getting a Tesla?

Hope you got a good one, tell us how it is. I have a 3 year old s85d and feel a tiny regret that I didn't have order one before the cutoff.

First song I'll play (assuming I remember I said this):

Journey - Faithfully

"Highway run, into the midnight sun. Wheels go round and round, you're on my mind"

When the drum roll kicks in I expect to be on the highway doing around 130-140

After market option I want:

Forget fake v12 sounds....I want Speakers playing the horse trotting sound from Monty Python quest for the Holy Grail For when I want to lay the smack down off the line

"You're just beating two coconuts together!"

What do I feel about getting a tesla?

Like I'm a millionaire of course.... Because I am (not)

I don't remember my first song.....

Every night its an excitement about what I'm going to play in the morning.


I try not to go tooo fast in my P3D+ because that shortens the time I spend inside......unless...….I make 2 u-turns in order to elongate the trip.


Notice I said..."time I spend inside" instead of saying "time I spend driving" because EAP is phenomenal....lol

After reading TMC delivery experiences I'll only have one thought on Wednesday when we drive to the delivery center to pick up our new Model 3 AWD. Will our car actually be there, and detailed well enough to accept delivery?
