Congratulations!
Reading the updates as the delivery made its way across the U.S. and then as it went by you was fun.
But ... way more fun to see the smiles and :biggrin:s with the actual delivery!
Great garage photo!

Great garage photo!
So power went out a few minutes ago (don't know why, no storms here!) and we have a full house generator back-up which kicks in after 20secs. I went out to the garage and checked the cars: Roadster had finished charging anyway and was fine, Model S was still charging but didn't seem to have missed a beat. Good to know.

A tad early for Nigel's daughter!Between power outages and Model S-laden dreams, I don't think Nigel's getting much sleep!
Nah, he's reserved a Signature Gen III. His daughter will be 16 by then.

Congrats, NigelM! So happy that you finally are done waiting! Now you just need to pull a reverse-snowbird and come Canada, hitting all the TMC members.
Just wondering, does your phone stay in the cubby properly when you accelerate quickly?

Congratulations Nigel! Your great posts and pics make it harder for me to wait. Regardless, thanks!
For the mirror auto tilt do the following to correct - (1) put the car in reverse, (2) set mirrors to desired "reverse" setting (3) re-save your profile. You will now have separate drive and reverse settings for the mirrors.
Tried it this morning - Works great! Thanks for the heads-up, I'll have to let my DS know.
Seeing as I had a free day we went for lunch at the Ritz-Carlton. The valet didn't even attempt to park the car, he just asked me to park it to one side outside the main entrance. When we came out he asked if he could see the engine...I opened the frunk.
Valet tip = $5, the look on his face when he peered in the frunk = "Priceless"

It was a beautiful day!
Well, we left a half hour early, but still managed to get lost even with a GSP! I think my problem is genetic. Remember, my people got lost in the desert for 40 years!
Yes, it was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and there was a light breeze, but you got the temperature wrong.
Its just that ball chasing is so much more fun than noiseless cars.
Here's photographic evidence as to who dilutes.

Neil, its absolutely true. Despite our urgings Ben resolutely refused any champagne whatsoever.
We loved sharing the event with you.
Really, this is the key?!
So cute!

Great write-up! But permit me a few editorial remarks.

Thanks! Don't forget we also brought the orange juice for folks who like to dilute good champagne when they drink in the morning.

Larry, I think the problem is that you relied on your GSP...

LOL at that one. But seriously, thanks to Larry & Mrs Larry for the champers and OJ!
We took a drive down to Sarasota Yacht Club tonight and so, full circle, we brought SSL#183 to the first place we ever saw the prototype (see my avatar). The ride back was so smooth my wife proclaimed "This is just like sitting in the living room, we could sleep in here".
It's Halloween and my daughter wanted to dress up as a "Tesla girl" that she had seen at the events (the pumpkin idea was stolen from the Teslaween thread):
P.S. This morning I managed to top 100mph on one of the private roads around our ranch. It seemed to take like seconds....I have no idea what the 0-100 time is, but it felt like nothing. :biggrin:
