[PeterSZ]

My delivery took almost 4 hours, going through everthing with Alex who did a great job.
I finally enjoy a wonderfull car since sunday, and it will be difficult to come back.
Thank you.
Here is a picture from yesterday 24 h after delivery

Cristalclear razorsharp picture… really really nice…

What camera did you use?

 

[gjunky]

Agreed, great shot.

From the picture's metadata:

Thank you gjunky, you have the right answer.

Another one with the light ON:



and from the rear:

I think it's more than just the camera, it looks HDR.

Funny note: asking a photographer what camera they used when a picture looks good is like asking a chef what oven they used when their food tastes good.

Thank you gjunky, you have the right answer.

and from the rear:

Wait... there's something wrong with this picture...! The factory forgot to install your tailpipe!!! ;P

I asked because I suspected he used a digital reflex camera and he did - a Nikon. I have a Canon myself. Only with a good lens and a big CMOS chip can one make such nice pictures. The subject was a big help too, of course

Thank you gjunky, you have the right answer.

Great shot. How did you get so much in focus with only f/5?

Picked mine up from the Austin service center this week and was able to get the full DS experience here in TX!!

Finally some good real pictures of grey interior with lacewood! I was looking for them for hours with no luck last month before finalizing this setup. It looks amazing! Congratulations!

it like asking a chef for his recipe... and going a little bit out of topic.
So in short:
Just took several pictures and combine them.

I have that combo, and I'm very happy with it. The lacewood has an interesting texture, and it goes well with the grey.

;-) And there's no spare, and the body panels are this flimsy aluminum so you have to park far away from other cars, and the headrests don't adjust. Nah, your wife should definitely use the other car.

And let's not forget the awkward placement of the cup holders! You owe it to your wife to take one for the team and drive the Model S so she can have the real car.

This argument should be especially effective if she is a big coffee drinker.

Well, its been 13 hours and 150+ miles with my Model S. I'm too tired to articulate all the things I wish to share, so that will have to wait until tomorrow. I will say that:

1. I had astronomical expectations about this car before getting my hands on one. ALL of my expectations have been exceeded (by a light year).

2. This IS the best car ever designed. I'm still overwhelmed by it's capability, potential, and utility.

3. Elon, I love you brother, thank you for giving me so much joy and excitement. I got your back.

I've got some good insights to share, which I'll do tomorrow. In the mean time, here are some photos, al be they very crummy mainly due to the fact that it's been FREEZING outside--I'll take better photos in due course.

*Note my "P85" badge, from some earlier thread... I cant recall who was asking for a photo of it.

Cheers, my friends! for those of you waiting, it gets better!

I need another day to write thoughts; lots of work; LOTS OF DRIVING Need to find a moment this weekend. 200+ miles and still driving (AND STILL AMAZED)

 

[brianman]

Gratz, Seegem. I see you got the rear facing alarm system with your vehicle as well.

 

[Beckler]

I didn't realize it had LED's in the door handles. Nice...

I'm selling the PoS Audi. Anyone want it?

 

[Robert.Boston]

The P85 badge looks good in context, @Seegem.

 

[AnOutsider]

Nice! We've got the same combo, except our Q5 doesn't match

The Q5 looks shaved, you gonna debadge the S too?
