Hi friends. I've been watching this whole Tesla thing for a while now. I was a big fan of the roadster (which might have something to do with why I bought an Elise) but after that whole new york times B.S., I decided it was time to put my money where my mouth is and support this company. I left my reserve deposit about a week ago and have been stressed about exactly which car to finalize but I think I've finally made up my mind on

Grey 40kWh
Panor roof
upgraded sound system (music is kinda my "thing")

This car is just barely out of my price range so I'm really scraping buy to make this plunge so I'm hesitantly NOT ordering the tech package. Does anyone here want to try to sell me on it? Or make me feel better for not getting it? Turn by turn navi would be nice but on a computer that runs linux and google apps, won't someone find a way to run a "hack" or an aftermarket app that gives you turn by turn navi? I have an android phone with hotspotting and bluetooth so can't I run my phone navi with turn by turn through the car audio?

Xenon's would be nice but for 3,700 I cant justify it. I'll do aftermarket xenon's one day maybe.

I could care less about HD camera or power rear lift.

Can someone explain the difference between the keyless auto entry and the standard version without the tech pack? You still get that funny little "remote" in the shape of the car? You can still use the remote the same way as with the tech package? the only difference is the door handles automatically pop out on the tech package version?

I would like to run an aftermarket sub/amp. I've done this on allll my cars before and i'm pretty comfortable with the audio/video installs but I've never done it on an electric car! Do I need to worry about the power drain?

Here's a silly question.. I can't seem to fine the "finalize" button on my tesla dashboard? Was my desposit somehow not reflected on my dashboard yet or something? I tried following the link in the email and can't find it.

Thanks!
