Two weeks ago, we took the plunge and put a deposit down on an inventory 75D Black/Leather Seats/Subzero/AP car and today at 5 pm we take delivery of our new family member!!! The experience so far as been quite smooth and unlike any car we have purchased before.
Needless to say, the next few hours are going to be nerve wrecking and 5 pm can't come fast enough!
On a side note - when my wife and I decided that we want to do this (even though to us it seems absolutely absurd to spend so much money on a car), we both agreed that this is the right time. Thats when the reading and research on these forums started. We both love technology and our approach with this car is that its time we give something back to mother nature by reducing pollution and carbon footprint. This is our first towards going green.
Given our love for this car and the technology it represents, we made a conscious decision not to test drive it. I know it may sound dumb and naive, but we are both very passionate about this car and we want the experience to be special, and the first time we experience it, we want it in our own car! So much so that we decided not to even go into the showroom to see it in person. Every time we walk by the showroom (located in a local mall here), we would just keep walking and smile without saying a word, seeing other people touching, looking, and admiring these amazing machines. Knowing that in a matter weeks we'll have our own - a very humbling & blessed feeling to say the least.
Call us crazy - but I don't think there is anything that would deter us from taking the plunge. We love 1st generation technology gadgets. I know there are issues and limitations with the car, but the benefits and the superior technology it represents is good enough for us to go all in without ever driving it, touching it, or sitting in it.
