I have to say, delivery exceeded my expectations! I picked the P3D+ up from Alpharetta-Roswell in Atlanta. My DS was very helpful, and everything was squared away within an hour and a half (we are a mil family, so there were added complications with moving around so much).
I started a 600 mile road trip right from the dealership for work. Tesla Alpharetta/Roswell took my request to charge it up to 100% after I convinced them it was okay. I had a lot of concerns with taking such a brand-new piece of high-tech wizardry on such a long journey untested, but thankfully (almost) everything worked beautifully.
Once we finished the paperwork and I had all my luggage and camera equipment unloaded (yes, I will be posting a P3D+ video in 2-3 weeks...less talk/more substance), I was on my way to VA. I pulled right across the parking lot to set up some GoPro cameras to record my first mashing of the pedal.
I’ve had muscle cars my whole life. I sold a 2017 2SS Camaro for this, so I was expecting an “iteration” of improvement. But man, this thing is FAST with a capital F! Especially 100% charged. It was quite surprising to me and I feel like my reaction video makes me look stupid because I burst out laughing with excitement, but I’m pushing myself to include it in the video anyway.
For my first leg, I was supposed to arrive in Charlotte with a 10% charge, but I was in a laser-precise stealth machine with “weapons-grade” technology that promised instant delivery whenever I demanded it. Combine that with a young man in a 370z who had no idea what kind of car I was driving (he found out), and I had to stop at another supercharger stall early as a result. But after 20 minutes I was ready to continue my trip.
Unfortunately, my EAP didn’t work for the trip. I called the service center today and they are pushing an update to my P3D for download. But for my trip yesterday I had to actually drive the car like a caveman. But it drives like a dream.
I drive with whichever traffic is flowing fastest. Usually you’ll have a set of cars drive a good deal faster over the speed limit. I was afraid this would dramatically affect my range, but I found that the superchargers really do work quite fast! I was getting 400+mi/hr at my stops, and those usually only lasted 20-30 minutes before I’d kick off to the next one.
Worst Wh/mi performance (thanks 370z):
390
Best Wh/mi performance:
299
I finally arrived at my destination, 600 miles later, late at night. I crashed on my hotel bed with flashes of the road trip playing through my mind. Guys and gals, this car is incredible!
