Got my P85D about 3 weeks ago. After driving it, well above my daily average, I've come to the conclusion that this is very well the best overall vehicle I have had the privilege of driving. I can't be the only Tesla driver who now looks forward and smiles every time he enters his garage and sees the technological marvel just sitting there waiting to be driven. Still get the "is this for real? pinch me" feeling, which hasn't worn off.
The wife loves the storage capacity and we've seriously used the frunk on a daily basis. The issues with easy denting of the hood as mentioned on other threads have been a non-issue for us. My car came with the winter tires in the hatch, and we were surprised at the cargo room left over with all of them stuffed in the hatch. It really feels like you could just lay down the back seats and have a very comfortable camp-out in this thing, staring up at the stars through the pano-roof. It definitely can carry more than my an SUV I used to own (Subaru Forester). Overall, the practicality side of things won the wife over.
This car drives and feels stuck to the road unlike anything I've experienced before. All I have to compare against are the test-drives of Audi's and BMW's (and not Lambo, Ferrari, etc), and this thing just blows them away with handling, acceleration, etc. I found it a little difficult to stay within the legal speed limit at times due to the sheer power and silence of the car, and so I've now turned on the "chime" feature and set it to trigger about 15Km/hr above. A tendency to drive aggressively comes naturally, but only when merging or needing to pop out from one lane to another after a stop-light. It's great when the fellow beside you decides he's not letting you in his lane because your lane ends due to parked cars or lane narrowing ("and you should have gotten into my lane earlier behind me"), and you just push a little on the pedal and he just can't stop you. Yes, a brief mention of the whiplash inducing Insane Mode is warranted. It was as if we fell forward into the future at 3.1s. I don't know the official measurement, but I could swear the back of the seat started feeling like a new "down" direction, and forwards was now "up". So this thing must pull some major G-Force on you midway through the acceleration. Made a few friends sick over it, and wish I took some videos of their reactions. One fellow is a convert and placed a deposit on a Model-X that same night.
The minimalist interior is definitely growing on me, but I also found storage a non-issue because I ordered the premium centre console, which I highly recommend based on the amount of usage it gets. The overall feel of the interior is spaceship-like. I got the premium audio upgrade, which I think sounds excellent but I am not an audiophile so I'm sure many here who are would disagree. Yes, it can't hold up against a $10,000 custom audio system, but then again it was only $2500 and came pre-installed. The quietness of the interior helps the audio clarity I believe.
Overall an absolute joy to drive. Would I ever reverse my huge purchase if I could? Emphatically NO! Steve Jobs said people don't know what they want until you show it to them, and in this case once you've seen and experienced a car like this there is no going back. My wife has tasked me with getting on the early reservation list for the Model 3 for her (doesn't like driving big cars), which surprised me because she's just not into cars at all. A few of my friends looking at the latest greatest ICE cars are now seriously considering a Model S instead, because it just makes the ICE vehicles seem dated and old-fashioned. Plus, they'd hate to spend pretty much the same amount of $ and be blown away by my Tesla on the road. One friend said it was like showing someone the iPhone when it first came out, and then telling them to just go and buy that latest Nokia phone. You can't go back. Those of you who are waiting for your P85D... I feel for you... the wait is excruciating and time only gets slower closer to the delivery date. You'll find yourselves living on the TMC Forums...reading everything to pass the time.
