We've made it to Harrisburg PA... so far learning curve items have been the cruise control, remembering how to use the remote (two clicks for unlock) and figuring out how to unplug the supercharger plug (unlock the car).
Grabbed lunch in Allentown, enjoying a Starbucks Granita here in Harrisburg. Charging is a pleasure so far, and the superchargers are ridiculously easy to use. I honestly would not even realize the car was used if it weren't for the few frunk nicks, the handle scratches and the odometer.
IN. LOVE.
So essentially--as I mentioned before, we prettraded my BMW at our local tesla in Ohio. My dad and I road tripped to PA, a little over 6 hrs from home to get the car. I checked it out and accepted delivery, signed the purchase agreement and we faxed it to my bank. My banker said great, tomorrow or the next day when we have final approval we can have you sign the loan paperwork.
Whhaaaattt? This is after I had explained the plan about 20x to everyone involved to make sure it would work.
Tesla seemed really reasonable, they would release the car when they had verifications the funds were coming.
Soooo anyway, realizing it sounded like I was going to have to go home empty handed (having taken two days off work) and take delivery in OH after all, and with panic rising, I handed Bryan the Tesla guy the phone. He spoke to my banker. I don't know what they said, but I am rolling home in my green Tesla to Cleveland.
I was just astonished by the customer service, his level head, and how he didn't make me feel like an idiot for the confusion--in fact, although it was the first time I'd talked to him (not sure why but my original DS was unavailable) he referenced how he knew I had done everything I could to stay on top of and coordinate a complicated transaction. I went from feeling like the whole trip had been a waste to overjoyed again with my new investment.
Excited to be a part of the Tesla family
Also I got a little swag
Sounds like everyone's is different so I'm not posting what I got. It was NOT a leather moto jacket, SIGH.
