I play a nice person on twitter.
Just be glad it wasn't converted to all lower case by the nanny forum.
Did I miss something? Did a mod mess with your posts?
Nah, not a mod. Forum software "corrects" posts like "<3 TEG" to "<3 teg". No biggee. Just struck a nerve as we were discussing the nanny state recently.

I don't want a test drive.
I should be getting my car in August, maybe even in July....that's next month! :biggrin: But now it feels like the night before Christmas and the anticipation is sweet. As kids we always wanted to know what was in the gifts, trying to figure out what was in them, but the truth was that it sort of killed the suspense if we did figure it out. I've seen, sat in and ridden in the Beta's; I've configured my car and been thrilled by the Tesla videos....And I don't want to ruin the big day, it would be like snacking on chips before going to a great meal at the best restaurant. I'm not even going to try to book a test drive, and I'm really, really happy.

Hi Nigel,
No problem, I'm sure that Marcus and I were just exchanging good natured teasing. I know that I took no offense.

I kinda' agree with you, Nigel. It'd indeed be more fun to be able to drive away for good in one's own car. I'm not going to change my mind about getting the car based on the test drive anyway. And, yes, I've suffered from Beta fatigue too.
That said, if I can get in on the Fremont factory event next week, would love to see all the colors for the first time and would want to say hi to Mr. Roboto as well! Also, Tesla always throws quite a party so, don't want to miss out on the fun and the chance to meet up with some familiar faces and some new ones from this forum
Bonnie, it's almost time to arrange that TMC meetup again at City Beach, Fremont! October's a distant memory and we didn't have the full entourage in Feb at the X reveal...

Good point, though I am looking forward to driving it still, and also giving my guest a test ride as well as an inside look to some folks that are interested in buying one. Like myself 8 months ago. I was on the fence about the long term viability of Tesla till I went to the factory tour and two days later I put down $5k.
I somewhat agree with both of you except on one specific point.
When my S arrives, if I'm already familiar with some of the finer details of operating the vehicle (from the pre-test-drive introduction) that's less "on arrival" time before I can "just drive" it.
I would like the owners manual before delivery for that purpose. Then all I would have to do is to pick up the things not in the owners manual from the introduction. A "new car features" manual as well would be even better.

When I got my Roadster, Tesla did a great run through on the car for about an hour and then it was great to sit down with the manual and read through all the details. They promise a Model S experience with a Product Specialist and I'm looking forward to that also. If the manual arrives early it's going under a figurative Christmas tree.
:smile:
Ya know... I agree with you. I realized that when I didn't get excited at the tour news or care that I didn't get an email... I just really want my car. We're likely to still do it so my wife can drive it, but I'm pretty set myself.
Jealous.
Is this driving anyone else crazy? It's Friday evening and there have been no reports of emails to set up test drives for the Fremont event. They said they would send them out this week. I've got to believe that when the first people get them they will let the rest of us on this board know. Why in the world aren't they doing as they said they would three days ago? This isn't rocket science - that would be Elon's other company.
Word from whom? Why would they have said on Tuesday "this week"?
We will begin sending out Fremont invites in sequence order to Reservations Holders this week. Several hours after the first invites go out we will send out additional invites, again in sequence order. This will continue until all 700 Fremont test drive slots are filled. Next week we will begin sending out invites for the Los Angeles Get Amped Tour stop. We will send out invites in sequence order again, starting with the lowest number Reservation Holders who have not yet taken a test drive. We will continue to send out more invites until all Los Angeles test drive slots are filled. We will do this same process for each stop on the tour. As a Reservation Holder, you will automatically get an invitation (based upon sequence number) to each test drive tour stop until you reserve a test drive.
Keep an eye on your inbox. We expect reservations to fill up quickly.
Yeah George, I'm keeping an eye on my inbox. Put something in it already!!!

Not everything always goes according to plan. Drink some whiskey, enjoy the weekend. Next week will be exciting and you'll plenty of info to munch on then.
Hi Todd,
Well, it's my birthday and I've been drinking lots of various alcoholic beverages and it doesn't help much. George and company have dropped the ball. Regardless, I'm heading out to Fremont.
