Picked up my S90D at the Houston North SC yesterday. Many thanks go to Susan, Whitney, and Dayan who made the order through delivery experience first rate! The My Tesla page was always a little behind on updates, but ~60 days order to delivery for a custom made car...works for me.
I only have 70 or so miles on the car so far, but I have quite the grin right now. A few notes and initial impressions:
- No cosmetic issues with the car. Body panels aligned well and no paint defects.
- Daytime running lights are working correctly.
- No wind noise or rattles so far.
- Slacker and My Tesla apps worked before I left the SC.
- I detected a very slight whine from the front end on hard acceleration with the AC and radio off. Can't hear a thing otherwise. This car is quiet!
- It was 98 degrees outside, but the AC set at 74 was plenty cold. (No pano roof or window tint, btw.)
- Of course, liked the overall power, but LOVED the instant acceleration. Point and go!
- I'm 6'2" and like the seat all the way back. I have at least 1.5" of headroom. (Not so fortunate in the back seat, but I don't plan to be there...ever.)
- Used the air suspension to keep from scraping on a sloped parking lot. 19" wheels with air is a great mix of compliant and sporty.
- The low, low center of gravity is the real gem here. Surprising that a car this heavy actually feels pretty nimble.
- Logged about 30 miles on Autopilot, mostly in stop and go on I-10. It got a little iffy while passing a couple of exit ramps, but I never had to take control. Wonderful feature and very cool!
Enough for now. Didn't mean for this to sound like a fanboy post and I plan on writing a more balanced post later, but seriously...
