I hope Bellevue doesn't get one. That is not going to help my resolve in resisting getting the P when the AWD should be fine.

Technically his tweet said they've BUILT 100, not shipped 100... IIRC somebody had a picture of them (all red from the looks of it) still sitting in the parking lot at the plant a couple days ago
As to where they're going- there aren't many more than 100 DCs in the whole country- so question is if they plan to ship 1 car to each or bunch up at some and leave others out.

I put in my Model 3 Test Drive request in a few weeks back. The "come on in" call can't come soon enough.

I didn't even notice this was reported way back on Tuesday. Yeah, Tesla being Tesla the showroom people won't have a clue. Some day the car will roll up and drop off the back of a truck.

A service center is where they fix teslas
a store/gallery is where they show and test drive teslas
they're not the same thing- and there's fewer stores than service centers.
There's only 110 actual stores/galeries (and at least a handful are tiny things in malls)

My daughter and SIL are scheduled to test drive the P3D this Wednesday at the Buena Park, Ca store/service center. Red with white interior, $83K sticker. Both are techno people. If you have questions for them about their test drive, post here.
They drove a new P100D yesterday at same store. Blue. Her text to me:
They have a 3LR on order in OBM color and expect delivery in about 6/8 weeks (I transferred one of my reservations to them). I know they will stick with that.

"Drove this P100D (included picture). Really fun, but too big. Ludicrous mode causes your vision to bluuuuuuuuuuur....................."

Have they driven a model 3 LR? Would they be able to compare the handling and the acceleration to the LR?

I'd really like to know the actual suspension differences (is it just different end links for the 20s, or are there actually different springs/shocks/etc?) but doubt that's going to be info that can access and who knows if an answer the store guy gives is accurate.
I suppose the most asked in-car question is if there's any sort of insane/ludicrous mode, or if the 3.5 spec 0-60 is just "normal" behavior and there might be another mode coming later.
Oh- also- are the P3D test cars set up with the menu that lets you have it emulate the slower Model 3s- like the P100D test cars have?
Not that it matters but I'm also curious if there's an acceleration mode other than "chill" and "sport".
Also, I think you may have the cost wrong, P3D fully loaded including delivery fee is $81k.
did tesla reach out to them after filling out the form on the site or did they just contact the store?
