I am now at 1138 miles of ownership. I thought I would post some of my thoughts so far.
The car is awesome. I have noticed on this forum, as well as on Mustang and Cobra forums I have frequented in the past, that the posts can skew negative about small issues as people try and get help with issues on their cars. So here is my mostly positive post.
1. These cars are awesome.
2. After years of muscle cars in the 350 to 500 HP range, I really enjoy the silent stealthy nature of the P85 acceleration.
3. The streaming music is awesome to me. I know it could probably be better, but I have truly enjoyed free commercial free music.
4. The free music has stopped my conservative radio listening which has helped my blood pressure a little
5. The car is virtually silent to me while moving, vastly different from our Prius and F-150
6. The APP is great. I love being able to start the AC before I leave work in the afternoon.
7. I like having a full tank every morning.
8. I like the full screen NAV. The traffic display in colors is great. The second pop up NAV on the dashboard when you have a course plotted is great.
9. I am spending around $0.01 per mile in energy in the Tesla compared to $0.03 in the Prius and $0.18 in the F150. This should save me $1800 a year in energy. About enough to pay the property taxes on the Tesla.
10. The fit and finishes on my P85 are outstanding compared to other cars I have owned.
A couple of negative for good measure.
1. While sitting still if the AC is on and the radio is off then I can hear or feel the compressor or fan from the AC. I do not know which. It goes away if you are moving and is easily drowned out by the radio above Volume 3.
2. I leave fingerprints on either the paint or the door handle when I close the door after exiting. Very frustrating. I need to carry a microfiber rag with me to clean that off
If you are on the fence about a CPO purchase, go for it!
