So, Friday's delivery at Tyco Rd Service Center was pretty great. I had really been expecting there to be a barista instead of a Keurig machine - so I can only give the delivery experience 4.8 out of 5 stars
We were in an out in 45 minutes. Having done everything that we could in advance, all we had to do was sign 4 forms, which took all of 4 minutes. After that, we got the obligatory walk-through - I opted to sit in the back seat while my wife got the front row tour.
Her impressions: Very, very, very impressed with the car, not having paid *any* attention to any of the info online. But later when she drove it - WOW - she loves it. Now we need another Tesla :facepalm: - I really should have just ordered two...
My impressions: WOW! I'm in love. Fit and finish is great. The passenger side chrome trim may be off by .75mm - but that's all I can find so far. Drove it to work and folks were pretty wowed. For my return journey, I opted to overshoot home and see if Autopilot would activate, and sure enough, somewhere between 26 and 40 miles it was.
My first nit-pick: Autopilot is amazing, but I already see room for improvement. NoVA folks familiar with the Dulles toll road: I experienced a gentle ping-pong effect while cruising the eastbound stretch between WolfTrap and Springhill Rd.. I was going about 70mph, and those couple of miles have gentle knolls and turns. The car kept centered very well, but it still seemed to gently veer towards the wrong lane edge between the long curves - if only a few inches. On straight-away sections it seems perfect, but I can imagine getting a little sea-sick on roads like that stretch. I'm curious to know what my fellow NoVA M3 drivers experience is on this same stretch of road.
