Ok, so after months of research, my hubby and I decided to pull the trigger on a beautiful Model S! I am a bit scared and somewhat sad to trade in my beautiful Cayenne but still super excited to join the Tesla family. Any insight, advice, caution, etc. is welcome and appreciated!

Congrats!! We had a Cayenne S, but the Tesla is way quicker even though mine is not even a Performance model. You are going to love it.
Cayenne sits quite a bit taller though. You didn't consider the Model X?

Congrats!! We were also hesitant to join the Tesla family, but after I traded my Audi S8 for my P85D my wife decided to trade her Tahoe in for a 85D now we have a P100D on the way once you join the family you cant stop getting new ones!

Congratulations!
And you will love passing gas stations all day, every day
Only difference to longer drives is the planning and the Tesla will take care of that for you. Put in the destination and the S will let you know where/when to stop.
Is it the price or are you fretting range anxiety? No need to worry on either account. You will save money on gas and maintenance

Caution? you will find reasons to take a drive just to enjoy it. When was the last time you really enjoyed a long drive? You will now

Congratulations! My prediction: You will not miss your Cayenne one bit. Once you drive your Model S for a while, you will not want to drive an ICE ever again. The relationship between the accelerator and acceleration gives you control that you cannot get with a car that has a traditional transmission. I just went to Costco for a shop and saw a very long line of cars with drivers waiting for gas. I am thinking that each and every one of those drivers is now wanting to be in a Tesla. You have much to look forward to.
Thank you for your reply! I would say it is scary to get into "unknown" territory but I am sure it will be worth it. I'm sure it will get some time getting used to not hearing the roar of the engine but all the other features will more than compensate for that.Congratulations!

I , like many before me admit to not using the sunroof often. If the glass roof was available then I would have gotten it. It is beautiful!
Good luck

Congrats. You will see what the Tesla smile is the first time you hit the go pedal. As said above be sure to get your home charging ready to go by the time of delivery. You get to fill up everyday at home, you just can't beat it.
