So this has been mentioned from time to time, but thinking we can make this an official thread for "firsts" and records for the Model S. First to take a Model S cross country: Steve and Jesse for Owner Bill, VIN 38 - Blog story Highest elevation driven to date: Cottonwood at Trail Ridge CO, 12,183' Velo1 is shooting for Mt. Evans at 14,256' this Spring. What will you be the first to do with your Model S? First to put 400 miles down in one drive? Over time, lets make this the <strike>Guiness</strike> TMC Book of Records for the Model S. What will yours be???
I can't confirm this but maybe the first person to be dropped off at their Model S pickup in another Model S.
Some other records I've seen posted (but I don't recall the exact #s, so I'll let them fill them in): Highest Wh/mile usage Highest Wh/mile regen Highest projected range (though this is a bit of a software artifact)
How about longest wait from reservation to delivery? (Will probably go to someone who wants a RHD version in Europe...)
No ferry ride yet for me. (My wife and I did go on a ferry last weekend, but not in the Model S). But I may be the first to get a hitch - it is being installed now; I pick it up Saturday.
Fastest speed?? Or is the S limited by the speedometer rather than motor output? My Zero is limited by speed in eco mode, but with a strong tail wind in sport mode I've hit about 7 kph faster than its "top speed". Or would people get in trouble...?
We almost got that done at the party Cattledog threw for my car but they ended up going home reserving. I imagine someone has done that already by now.
I've not been able to achieve the Roadster's top speed, because it runs out of steam above 150 kph. The best I've been able to do (yes, legally) is 187 kph. I suspect the Model S will actually be able to achieve its maximum speed since it has more poop at high speeds than the Roadster.

I'm pretty sure it has a software governor. I talked to George B at one of the events and he said off hand it was capable of going faster. I wonder if Elon's is set differently. First one to hack the software that governs output! But I'm sure this would coincide with first one to invalidate their warranty!
First to hack into the computer. Where is that thing anyway, maybe it has an RS-232 port i can get at.
Yeah. Not only was it the first Model S hitting another car but the first Model S hitting another Model S.
