SITING! I saw a Signature Red in downtown Houston while returning home from the Rockets' game. It was driven by a woman who headed west on Memorial. Her plate read "TSLAS."

I have never been to this nor have any idea if it is any good; however, if you wanted to legally test your Model S against yourself or another car, this is a low cost opportunity. Keep in mind that you will need to leave yourself enough charge to get home unless you plan to trailer over the car! 0 to 130 mph speed runs will... cut into your range.

Do they have RV hookups at the raceway infield? That might be a place to hook-up to a NEMA 14-50.
The only test drive I got before purchasing was at the get Amped event they had in Houston back in the summer. I fully understand you wanting to get a test drive, send me a PM and maybe we can work something out for a drive in my Model S......
From what I've heard, the problems are mostly minor and generally mirror the "Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues' thread:
Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues
The main issue appears to be part availability--Tesla pushed very hard to get cars out in Q4, and the parts department was closed for a week in Jan. They are catching up from the rush and hopefully everything will be back to normal soon. For me, the minor issues I've had are the 'creaky sunroof' and 'fogged reflector' issue, and they have parts on order for me for that, as well as the ambient light buzz (no solution as of yet). I also have the parcel shelf and screen cubbie on my due bill. Up to now I've used the Ranger service (for instance, they came out and lubed the sunroof which initially helped reduce the sound a lot, but it has since come back), but I also live right by the service center so going there would be easy for me if I needed to. I've heard of a few not-as-minor issues in Houston (can't use the frunk due to actuator issue, door handle issues) that also need parts, but those situations are much rarer. By the time 18,200 rolls around, hopefully the cars will all be delivered with everything and perfect.
