It's all been said before but have to say it again, had my arrest me red for 5days and cannot stop thinking about it, driving it, showing it, dreaming of it. How to put the feeling in perspective is impossible, everyone who looks at it cannot believe how beautiful it is, then you tell them it is 100% electric and they are speechless. Then if you give them a ride they are even more blown away. I do not really care about how anyone feels about the car other than myself and my wife, but it is nice to know there are lots of people out there who appreciate it for what it is. I feel very fortunate to be able to own this vehicle. Still on cloud 9!!!

I'm getting your same set up, (minus tan, plus sound) tomorrow at the factory. So excited!

Congrats on finally getting your RED Tesla. Let me say I still have the same reaction and feelings you have expressed so well, and that is after 4 weeks. Cloud 9 will be getting crowed very soon. :biggrin:

Highfalutintodd know you are excited. Please send pics and email when it arrives. I expect to order on 5/18 after my test drive. Changed back to P85 Black/tan, air, tech, dual chargers. Didn't want to have two MC Reds within 50 miles of each other. Jk Folks in Cal wouldn't believe there are, what? Maybe 5 MS in Mid Tn. So should we scream for a supercharger. Lol

I took delivery in Fremont today... Half a dozen other reds were next to mine. But I think mine is the prettiest! :)

What a gorgeous color!

I stopped by the Rockville SC about 30 minutes ago. There were 4 reds-

9633
9204
9678

And one picture that I took that I can't make out the VIN because of sun glare. There was also a white with grey wheels.

And it's here!

I live downtown. I had a crowd of bus drivers, construction workers, neighbors, cops, etc, all stopping to watch it unload. For even more drama it came down on a lift off the second deck of a semi.

It's too damn cool.

Pics or it didn't happen. :)

At the Minneapolis test drive event on Saturday someone bought the Red test drive vehicle.
It was very fun to watch.

So if you find a test drive vehicle with colors/options that you want you can buy it for same price as if you ordered it (actually less because of the mileage discount)? I think if this is true Tesla is well on their way to a hybrid sales model (both internet sales and "show room" (store) sales. Gives both complete customized vehicle orders and 'buy it now' delivery from stock. Wow!

Yes, I almost pulled the trigger on the Brown Perf unit at Washington Square. At first quote .50 cents off per mile. Then a week later Elon stated a $1 off per mile (plus). The car had 9600+ miles on it at the time. Almost.

I decided I could wait for a new one, even if sans Perf.

@ Eric... Right on! Looks fantastic.
