Here's one that'll make you Sigs go green with envy:

Shortest wait as a Model S reservation holder - it'll probably be driver_EV, the last known R in the US who may get his/her car by December: a wait of just 4 months!

R = Roadster Owner/Friends and Family

Well, I was thinking real owners messing up with their own Model S but, maybe, the Get Amped instance counts.

Dave gets the First Curb Rash award!

That happened at our Get Amped Tour here back in July... gal came back from her drive, careening into the curb as she parked. Actually bounced off the curb! She got out and thought nothing of it, as if thats how she always parks. :scared: Poor 21" wheels.

But heck those weren't our cars. When they become your own... it's another thing.

@Eric... in the thought of Firsts, that one did cross my mind. ;)

As was mentioned earlier in the thread, I was the proud recipient of the first Tesla rear ender on June 24th at the Get Amped event at the Fremont factory. But I should think I qualify for two firsts; First Tesla rear-ended, and second, first Tesla to be hit by another Tesla.

And the guy who hit you said he was shaken and got another chance at driving, right? So he was probably the first person to get a second drive in a Model S...

(I was three cars behind you).

is this the first speeding ticket? At 92 should remain the highest for a while.

The honor of the first customer to test drive a Model S goes to me, my wife, Larry Chanin and his wife. Technically we left as the 2nd ever test drive but we passed the 1st group on the highway so we were the first to return :). You can read more about the experience in Larry's very entertaining telling of it here Larry's Most Excellent Adventure .

I've had two friends tell me in the past week that they've seen a red Tesla on I-5 here in San Diego. I'm guessing they're spotting you, dadaleus...

Highest odometer? I just hit 5,000 miles.

BTW, I was the one with the highest projected range, but I agree that's really an artifact and not a real accomplishment.
