    Yes, and keeping the 1.5... There is something about that car...

    We are not really in the habit of selling cars. The Model S when it comes will be the 15th car among a family of 4.

    So, 6 Classic Jags (from 1949-1965), Roadster #350, Roadster #1350, Model S Sig 26, MG B LE, 2 BMWs, a *cough* HUMMER *cough*, Jeep, and MINi Cooper S.

    A very fun collection

    I like the "business" card idea.

    I whipped this up the other day (QR Code sticker linked to TeslaMotors.com):

    This was done as a story once. I vaguely remember is was a cartoon(?) where the aliens saw the cars as the inhabitants of earth with a symbiotic relationship with man, filling them up, repairing their "hosts" and getting free rides at they cars moved about.

    I might be quicker than TEG on this one. Cartoon series was titled "Wonders of Earth and Space" http://www.onf-nfb.gc.ca/eng/collection/film/?id=16773

    That's it!

    "What On Earth!: Martian visitors judge cars to be the true inhabitants of Earth, while we seem to be parasites infesting the autos (9 min. 35 sec.)"

    It stuck with me for some reason. (and I guess you too).

    "This animated short proposes what many earthlings have long feared -- that the automobile has inherited the planet. When life on Earth is portrayed as one long, unending conga-line of cars, a crew of extra-terrestrial visitors understandably assume they are the dominant race. While humans, on the other hand, are merely parasites. An Oscar®-nominee, this film serves as an entertaining case study."

    More evidence of the prescience of the late, great Douglas Adams.

    ummm, let me try to get this right
    Roadster sport
    arctic white
    CF body accents
    infotainment
    executive leather+carbon black and red (rally style)
    adj suspension
    universal connector

    I think that is it. Probably will get extended service but debating on battery agreement. (any suggestions welcomed!)

    yea I heard this discussed in a thread when I was lurking the forum. I'll ask the sales guy as the deliver day gets closer to see the official agreement....and post what it says.

    Yes you will gather many looks, questions, thumbs up and requests for rides. Be prepared that every trip/errand you intially take will take twice as long as more often than not there is a person closely eyeing the Tesla when I come out of the store. Virtually all the comments are positive so it is a fun plus for the car.
