I took my M3 in because the front usb ports aren't functioning (hopefully a quick fix). I have to say Telsa in Burbank CA were just as great as I had hoped. Friendly, fast and calm. I got a p75D as a loaner. Wow so different. Driving an S is like driving a cruise ship. I have to say I found the seats more comfortable than my M3, I felt tiny in the huge cabin with the giant steering wheel. The AC vents seem very old fashioned after the "virtual" vents on the M3.
The most striking difference was just the build quality level. Everything was incredibly solid on the model S. Things like the sun visors which on the M3 are super thin and cheap are solid as a rock. The steering wheel stalks have a satisfying firm action to them, I find the PDR stalk on the M3 a bit rubbery. It certainly feels like a much more expensive more luxury car, but also less fun and a lot less nimble. Now I just have to figure out how to adjust the steering wheel on the loaner...
