Wel this is obviously a dream but I'll go with it...
Took delivery of Quorra today(from Tron). First impression: the Matte Obeche dash is stunning. Very happy with that choice.
Auto pilot: worked flawlessly for me. I drove about 1.5 hours home on mostly freeway.
Condition of car: cleaned like a high school kid would wash a car. Immediately saw dried wax on the car but it easily wiped off with a microfiber rag. Little streaks here and there on the seats and in the interior. Few bits of plastic still installed inside the car.
Hood is misaligned a bit and scratches paint during open/close.
2 tiny (very tiny) cuts in rear passenger seat leather.
That being said, the car was in acceptable condition and I was extremely thorough in my inspection. My DS showed up to say hello but I was helped by someone I hadn't met before. His knowledge level was good.
How is the Model S 60? Amazing. Fast. Beautiful. Stunning. The future.
Last thought: How do people not pass out in the P90D ?
Another last thought: one pedal driving is the future. I barely used the brake even when needing to decelerate quickly.

This thread helped me stay sane (ish) during my wait. Let me know if anyone has questions and I'll take pictures of my car or answer whatever I can.

Tesla app already working. Summon works in/out of garage.
Real question: will the San Diego supercharger be picked tomorrow. Stay tuned and find out tomorrow..

I have a few questions - while waiting for delivery of my MS.
1) Did you have some check list for your "extremely thorough" delivery inspection. I'm thinking one could get sidetracked and miss some things without a thorough guide. hint - I want a copy of it for my inspection.
2) One pedal driving....On my test drive, letting up on the throttle gave me "some" regen braking, but I felt like I had no control of How Much. With caliper brakes, push harder and get more stop. How do you One-Pedal and get more stop?

Yes although i didnt schedule the appointment yet for either issue. Because of Teslas reputation for good customer service, I took them at their word.
They did take pictures of both issues and I did as well (invade there's ever any dispute).

That is a nice check list. Was it on the Tesla website, or did you make it?
I could not print it - so copied it into a new Open Office sheet. How does one learn to fly this online word processor?

1. Tesla Model S Buyers', Delivery and Owners' Guide Use that as a guide but just look over the vehicle as you see fit. I use to be an aviation inspector so I have a knack for finding issues.
2. Regen braking has a setting. Standard and low. Standard is strongest. For "one pedal driving" you will decelerate quicker than normal as you take pressure off the accelerator. Sometimes getting off the freeway I'd never let off the accelerator pedal, just ease the pressure and end up going from 75 mph to 10mph. I seemed to need to use the brakes when wanting to slow to under 5 mph. (Creep was on)

I can't take credit for it at all, but someone here at TMC put it together.

Update:
Took Quorra to San Diego today which is around 90 miles from my house. Used summon to pull it out of the garage, used autopilot most of the drive, and used auto park twice while I was there.
On the way back we stopped at the supercharger in Temecula, CA. It had 5 Teslas and several open stalls. I think 10-12 stalls total. Charging was about 300 mph.
This car is unlike anything else.

Do any of the new Model S owners have bluetooth enabled key fobs? Does it show up as a discoverable bluetooth device?

I Dont Need Cialis. I Drive an EV.
MyTesla was update for estimated delivery of Sep 4 thru 11 as of today. I AM HOPING it is real and there is the slimmest of possibilities I will be picking up my baby this weekend. The wait/suspense has been BRUTAL. I've bought all kinds of add-ons and accessories, plus making plans to get tinting and other similar items added. Even arranging for day off from work to just be with her. Woo Hoo. Couldn't sleep a wink last night. Now I think I know why.... Come on DS CALL ME!!!

Come on DS CALL ME!!!Waiting to talk to my DS but just went in transit to Devon, PA. I assume it'll be 14-17 days but my DS is on vacation and the person in his OOO is out of the office today!
I would assume that when the car hits transit, they give you a delivery date? Would be much easier for me to plan everything if I could target a date. Either way, anyone else taking delivery to Devon?

even better, but hard to gather info, would be percentage of cars with issues with anything on checklist... Like item 6 24% of cars had problems with xyz
