Be sure to post some great pics tomorrow! I'm patiently waiting for a Green performance in downstate Illinois (I travel to Indy every week)
haven't seen the Green in person yet, but have heard that it is awesome...so let me know while I wait.

PICS! Come ON!
BTW, caught sight of a white MS heading south on Michigan, getting onto 465 E. I was stopped at the light, and just noticed as they were heading up the ramp...

BTW: had James Glover over, the owner/electrician at Mr. Electric. They are the local contractor for Sun City for the Tesla installs. He covers the regoin down through, and including Cincinnati. I am getting a quote for the work I'm going to need.
He's a wealth of knowledge, (and a big car guy it turns out). He's done a bunch of Tesla installs already, and has done a bunch of basically every other type of EV. He claims there are already 27 MS (?!) in central Indiana/ Indy area.
Also was telling me about a job he's working up for a guy that has *3* on order for himself, his wife and daughter...

Can I take exception that you list Watseka, IL and call it "downstate" ?
I know most Chicagoans think of anything south of Joliet as the hinterlands, but c'mon -- I live 45 miles east of St. Louis. *That* is downstate
No car = no pics yet. Chicago truck was delayed so I got pushed back from Monday to tomorrow (Thurs) for Indianapolis delivery. Any one here get their car yet this week that was expecting it?

Well, the weather yesterday was garbage. Grey overcast, then heavy snow. Every photo I took of my "green" car made it look black. The sun was out today, but within 24-hours of driving around Chicago/Northwest Indiana, it looks like every other nasty car on the road. I present to you the ugliest Model S photo you've seen on these forums.

I think your green looks good. I have found myself unable to resist frequently hand washing my Model S even with temps under 32F.
I love my red but sometimes think that South Bend only likes silver/gray cars in the winter.
I look forward to a big meet up in Indy. Perhaps 1 to 3 pm Saturday on the weekend before Memorial Day weekend at the Fashion Mall? It should be warm enough to walk around. Since the two ChargePoints are in the garage north of Nordstrum. I suggest we park outside just north of the garage. Inside if raining.

Got my delivery button!
March 4-18 window.
Looks like a clone to KKlabunde, so I'm a little disappointed I can't bring something new to the region.

Car arrived in Chicago on Monday, and would have been ready Tues/Wed.
As convenient as it would be to have it roll up to my house, I've decided to get it earlier than otherwise by picking it up at the service center. I don't anticipate any issues, but if there are any problems or concerns, it would be better to address them there. In the event of a massive failure, not accepting the car would also be possible.
I'm not too keen on the fact that once the car is turned over to the carrier for home delivery, it's yours.
It so happens that it's easy enough to take the MegaBus up to Chicago this Saturday. The service center looks like it's an easy walk from Union station, and it looks like the weather will cooperate. Home on a single charge.
Let's hope the snow clears and I can get my underground cable run to the garage this Fri. I suspect I'll be charging at the local Kohl's for a short time.

Our S was delivered on 28 Feb. We unloaded the trailer at our Walmart lot in Newburgh, IN. 3 March we took a 150 mile test ride, the trip was super.

Is the owner of the WHITE S on the forum?
I saw it parked on the circle yesterday morning at 6am... while riding the Megabus.
... on my way up to Chicago to pick mine up!

Childressmd, are you related to Linda who was/is a nephrologist?
I hope you love your car as much as I love mine. It is my "happy place." You will soon find all other cars annoying to drive. The seat is not as good as some, but 3 hours in a row is your limit anyway.

Are you in Indy?
The Mr. Electric owner/operator seemed to think there were a couple dozen in and around central IN.
I have a Blue P85 arriving on Tuesday in Granger (near South Bend). I have yet to see one in this area, although I see from this thread that there is a Red Sig somewhere in the neighborhood.

Need advice on charging in downtown Indy
I am traveling to Indianapolis (from South Bend ~ 150 miles) and need to find a location to recharge . Does anyone know of a downtown location where I could add 120-150 miles of range in 5 hours?
