    Man you got me with this one haha! I was reading your title and was like "this forum is just people openly telling their hatred about Tesla stories," which in fairness, if it wasn't happening then they wouldn't need to post. But that was a great plot twist, even sent it to my fiance as a similar thing happened before we bought our S!

    I have P85, got loaner 100d. I hated brakes. They are electric now, not vacuum. Yuk.
    It wasn't any quicker than mine, that i could see.
    But, AP2 was awesome

    You should offer nose and hood parts on this site, I’m sure you will have plenty of people willing to swap out the old look for the new!

    @Sunshine Got the lighted applique and front and rear "T's". I'm looking into having the front and rear "T" work with
    the lighted applique. The next step is to have the front "T" flash/pulse when your charging at a Supercharger. I can
    do it manually in white, I would like to do it automatically in green once you plug in

    Same story here. Sent my Model S P100D in for a week. They gave me an X which my wife ended up driving. When we went to return the car we missed it so much we bought a Model X too. So now we have one of each. Freakin great company.

    This guy's wife is telling him to buy a 100D and you're trying to push a model 3 on him?

    When I'd picked up my used 2014 in November I ran into someone at the Port Orange charger who had a 100 D loaner from JAX. He was the first to use it and after learning they had no mileage limit had taken a weekend trip to Miami.

    Sadly my visit to that service center resulted in a 2018 Mustang Gt Convertible rental. Nice hearty rumble but no action. Tons of controls everywhere and a massive keyfob. I couldn't wait to get my RWD 85 back.

    Yep, I got screwed that way myself.
    Bloody P85+ test drive out of the carpark of Star Casino here in Sydney. 5 years later and I'm typing this on a Tesla forum while supercharging :)

    So my wife and I test drove an X a while back and decided we could not afford it. She was looking for an SUV to haul grandkids, etc and wound up with a very nice ICE. About 6 months later, my ICE lease was almost up and I test drove the S. Every other vehicle I looked at was overshadowed by the S experience. I kept looking for something "equivalent" and was not finding it. Figuring the only way to solve this, I went back to the Tesla store and said, "Here's a wishlist. I really don't think I can afford this but is there any way?"

    They brought up an inventory car with everything including the color on my list and crunched the numbers and.....well you can see by my profile below how that worked out! And then, I even added autopilot! Wow, did I get screwed (with a huge grin on my face, no less).
