Update on the ownership experience. Besides the squeakiness emanating from the pano roof (known issue, permanent solution pending), this car is absolutely AMAZING! The instant torque and sheer power of the Model S is astounding and addicting. The ooh's and ah's from bystanders will go away as it becomes more commonplace, but not the driving enjoyment. There's no going back to ICE for me. Not unless I go broke (knocking on wood)
The VP for my company is in town, and got to ride and drive my MS. He's very impressed, and says he wants to pick one up for his wife. He drives an Audi R8 convertible.
He had a good laugh (and impression) when I took him out for a night on the town, and at 4 a.m. and with already a full car, many other of my friends wanted a ride home in my new ride. 4 fit easily into the back seat, and then my friend with 2 of his girlfriends wanted a ride too. I told him it's full, but he can hop in the trunk if he likes and I jokingly opened the trunk from the touch screen. He jumped in with the 2 girls and the the trunk was able to close!! We drove off, and I took everyone home. 2 in the front, 4 in the rear, and 3 in the trunk. If someone was fool enough to ride in the frunk I would have had 10 people in my car!! Hahaha! What a crazy story. My VP was amazed. I wonder if he will be stealing his wife's ride when it arrives :wink:
disclaimer: you're not supposed to put people in your trunk (or frunk) unless they're children and you have your jumper seats installed, but can in a pinch :biggrin:
