Hi all,
Just wanted to let you all know that Santa came early and I took delivery on Christmas Eve. Although I share some same range anxiety now (going from 'maybe charge' at Centralia SC to 'must charge'), the car itself is still a wonder of acceleration and technology. After putting on a couple of hundred miles, I wish there were a few things that were different though overalll as both my first BEV and first 0-60 in < 4 secs car I am still cackling with inane delight every time I take it out. It truly felt like Christmas of childhood, with sleeplessness and disappearing when I should be helping out in order to play with my toy. I couldn't find the limiter on this side of 126 (on private road, honest of'icer) and it was me who backed off as I'm running on Sottozeros. The handling is as per my test drive report - awesome. I tried to find lateral limits and again backed off before the car... Pushing this to the edge is done until summer for me now ;-)
Taking delivery experience was very good. Emerson from service took winter wheels (bought privately) and fitted new tires and tpms the day before delivery and then swapped them with staggered summer ordered wheels. Skyler did good walk through, took some photos of family and car and was out of there in an hour. Another p85d (red) was there being delivered.
Post delivery experience I am having a couple of niggles: both nights I've had the "driver assistance camera is blocked, please clean windshield" error (cleared when car restarted), and the hwpc button doesn't open charge door (mitigated by using the key fob: press and hold trunk button... Found by accident, and have read this anywhere: new to 85D?). Both non critical.
Overall, this is a fantastic car so far and I would buy it again. Only thing that might make me change is the color choice. I picked the best one for me out of the selection, though my request of factory custom paint request was rejected, as seemingly I was a couple of weeks too late.
In terms of editing spreadsheet, I seem unable to do this via iPad. Here's the details if some kind soul can enter it:
P85D metallic gray with gray 21" wheels with Black/Black trim and carbon fiber.
Ordered 11/10, confirmed 11/10, in production 12/15 to 12/18, delivered 12/24
Vin 65197, all options bar rear seats, premium audio and accent lighting
No heated SW. Did have NG front, though not rear seats.
Anywho, thought I'd share and hopefully increase the excitement for those who are still waiting. Good luck and you will hopefully love it as much as I do.
cheers, Mike
