I picked up my base S75 on Friday from Bristol in England.
I originally ordered in May so this has been a long process.
Over this time, I religiously pored over forums - mainly this one - looking for details and reassurance that I wasn't missing out on anything.
During that time, I went from being super excited to worried and back again so many times you wouldn't believe it.
I worried about what battery I'd end up with(75/85), whether doors would line up, whether the interior would feel cheap , if the acceleration update would be included, whether the handover would be up to scratch and all the rest of it. There are a lot more negative posts here than positive which I suppose is the nature of forums so you can get a distorted view. As a previous owner of Porsche, BMW and Audi cars I started to feel I may be disappointed.
Well I can tell you I couldn't be happier with my new car. It looks fantastic inside and out, drives like a dream, has no creaks or rattles and still leaves me grinning like a kid at Christmas after 4 days. Tesla were fantastic and the handover made us all feel special. People comment on how nice the interior is and how great the quality of the upholstery is on the doors and dash. This has all improved hugely from the demo models I saw in stores just a year ago.
So I hope this helps if you're not quite sure whether to go for it, or you have ordered and are worried like I was.
