Hi guys and gals!
I am a new Tesla Model S to-be owner, I just placed an order last week. Since Finland does not yet have official Tesla presence in the form of a store, I ordered from a local car importer that has recently started importing Tesla Model S.
I have been waiting to get Tesla MS for several years now, but I did not want to import it myself, so I have been patiently waiting for a way to purchase it here locally. Almost by accident last Wednesday evening I stumbled across the web pages of that importer, and by the next evening I had an order placed. They said they have already sold 25 other Teslas before my order, so perhaps we will soon have an official store and service center here as well! I just today got an email from the sales person apologizing for his slow replies to my emails, he said he is "drowning under Tesla inquiries", so looks like the interest for the car continues. Too bad we don't have those incentives they have in Norway, here the car costs quite a lot (at least 30% of the price is taxes).
My current car is a Hyundai Genesis Coupe (one of only 9 ever sold in Finland!), which I got in the spring of 2011, when it looked like it will take a long time before Tesla Model S will be available here. That car was a sort of test bench for me, to see how a powerful rear wheel drive car handles on our snowy and icey roads during our long winters. So, I have actually had a very methodological approach to my Tesla purchase.
I am hoping the get my MS in May, possibly June, and can hardly wait. Been watching all possible MS YouTube videos I have managed to find over and over now ever since I placed my order. That just does not seem to help enough with my car fever symptoms!
