Ha. This will totally crack up some people here. So please indulge me
The lease on my wife's Leaf is expiring in mid March and today (don't ask me why) she decided to seriously look around for a replacement. She liked the Leaf ok but it's too small and she had terrible problems with the heater/AC (too cold in the winter, to hot in the summer), so no buying the lease and no replacing it with a 2016 model with bigger range. We had test driven a few of the other possible candidates over the last few months (Mercedes B e-drive, e-Golf, BMW i3, BMW 540e) and so she started clicking around and searching, looking at options, features, prices, reviews and by the time I came home this evening she's like "ok, so let's open that configurator website".
Long story short... seems like we may be ordering a Model X without her having driven one, even with the wind shield she's convinced she'll hate and even with all the ambivalent feedback that I have given her (and here, of course) over the last few weeks.
Her car, her call... I think she just didn't believe that any of the other cars would come even close. I have to agree.
Looks like it will be a blue six seater 90D with black leather, carbon fiber, light headliner, standard wheels, auto pilot, premium, smart air (required for 90), subzero and accessory hitch. Who would have thought... Not complaining, though. If she ends up hating it, I happen to know of an MCred Model S P85D that she loves... and blue is one of the other colors that I really like, so I'll make do...
(silly side remark - I pointed out to her that with the tax credit and the deposit this is, technically, a sub $100k car so her complaint that she just couldn't see herself driving a $100+k car wasn't valid... yeah, right, that argument didn't stand a chance... after all, she's an economist by training...)
