Thanks Chris for posting the pictures. I was just too busy taking it all in to worry about pictures. Interestingly, the car was drop shipped at a Lowes a couple of miles from our house. Turns out the car was not charged at all, it had 0 miles of range. I had the DS drive the car to my house, with very limited power available, where fortunately I have a 70 amp J1772 available. Still it took over an hour to get the car to a range in the mid 40s so that I could actually drive my Model S. This being the first time I had driven an S (I didn't get to go to any of the test drives available), it was a hard hour to have to wait, but even limited to about 2/3 power it was still a blast. My car is now happily charging up in its new home surrounded by my Roadster, Leaf and Sparrow.

Bizarre. I hope you file a warranty claim on this. If you could have rolled it to an outlet in Lowes you could have avoided the drive home and any resultant damage to batt.

Norbert, that surely seems to be the case, but at least each sequential delay became shorter and shorter.

I think that this is the first report of a car at "zero" miles in the battery still being able to drive "a couple of miles" even at low power. Nice to know there is a little left, even at "zero," and that a DS was willing to drive it in that SOC.
An interesting question is why it arrived at that low state of charge. I hope the vampire was not that thirsty.

Even having taken delivery of my Model S on October 18th, I still find myself enjoying all your stories about further deliveries. Without wanting to go off topic, but for those who are yearning for more information about how the car behaves, I offer my recent drive from Sacramento California to Yosemite Valley, recounted at Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions - Page 23
