Thank you Timpoo and everyone else.
What a day! I woke up at 4AM and was unable to get back to sleep, so spent a few hours rereading the online manual. Went down to St Leonards as planned, and drove away at 11 and headed to the motor registry to get my plates out of storage. Got home and my daughter arrived home and wanted to go for a ride. So off we went and a few km later I could hear a ticking sound from one of the tyres which varied with speed. I was hoping it was a rock, but when we got home and I checked it, I'd managed to pick up a tek screw straight into the tyre. I called Tesla and they suggested to come back. The tyre had stayed inflated, so I headed back. They don't do repairs, only replacements, so half an hour and $550 later I was on my way again. I've now lost 3 tyres over the years to b@#dy tek screws.
I was able to test out the TACC on the M2 in stop start traffic coming home. It's a weird feeling when you first try it, but once you get used it, it's very impressive.
Tomorrow I'm picking up my Mum from my sisters to take her home to the central coast. My sister and Mum know I'm getting the Tesla, but don't know I got it today, so it should be a surprise for them when I turn up in it.
Anyway, even with the tyre problem, it's been a blast and a most memorable day. Tesla were fantastic at handover, and in getting the tyre quickly replaced. The car is everything and more that I remember from the test drive, and most people who've seen it comment on how nice the colour is.
That'll do for the moment, I'm going to try and catch up on some missed sleep, but I also has some Tesla moments today as well. I'll save that for another post.
