So... As many of you guys might've seen, I have been waiting to get my Tesla for nearly 2 whole months now!
Today I finally took delivery and was enjoying everything that car has to offer... At least everything about it I've found so far.
On my way home in the evening, I took a protected left and quickly accelerated for 2 seconds and I see the dreaded blue lights behind me. Cop pulled me over and asked for my license... And then he started walking around and taking down the VIN number. He said he was behind me and I just "took off" and that my temporary plates didn't come up with anything. I told him I literally picked it up this morning and he asked if I had anything else I could show him, paperwork-wise. I scrambled and showed him my insurance, order agreement, maroney, etc.
He walked back to his car and when I looked back, I noticed 3 more cop cars lined up behind him... Straight up my new red Tesla Model 3 with 4 cop cars with lights flashing behind me!!!
He came back to my window and asked me to open the door. That scared *sugar* outta me thinking he was gonna arrest me for something lmao. He just ended up tryna see if there was any more info bout car on the driver side so whew, I was fine.
Then another cop came up on passenger side and started asking me how much the car costs and whether it drives itself. We end up chatting it up about Teslas for several minutes until original cop came back.
He told me I didn't do anything wrong but he pulled me over cause it was suspicious how my car didn't show any records (cause it's literally brand new) and the fact that I took off so fast when he was behind me. I apologized and said I'd be more careful and whatnot. He told me to have fun and safely enjoy the new car and then let me go!
So yah, what a first experience on day one with my Model 3... Hopefully less stressful memories from now on!
Obligatory picture of car!
