Who in Canada will order the new P85D?

[gpetti]

Congrats... I wanted to say hello at the meeting last night but missed you in the crowd! Your wait will have been well worth it (you too gpetti!)

Thanks. I've just been told that my car should be in vancouver by Monday and I will probably go to vancouver to take delivery of it. I will then have it delivered to the wrap place in Calgary as I will be away anyway. I feeling very sceptical as it was only Wednesday that it went into the completed state but my DS took a day to get back to me so he could confirm with logistics so I'm feeling cautiously optimistic but haven't actually booked any flights yet. Guess I'll have to give up the Ford Fusion soon - damn!

Close but no cigar here. False alarm; they found that the GPS was not operational and need to replace a wire.
Next projected ETA is Monday the 26th.
As the saying goes, it ain't over until the fat lady sings.

Holy crap, it's a good thing you're a patient man.

You are going to arrange delivery to the wrap company yourself? How about we both fly there Sunday and drive back? Mine's sitting in Vancouver...

That would be a hell of a lot of fun! Unfortunately I'm leaving the day after I take delivery in vancouver. Tesla are still responsible for shipping the car to Calgary but whenever that happens it will just go to the wrap place. My car is also sans winter wheels which are in Calgary so I was reluctant to druve back for that reason too. Maybe they will be on the same truck.

That's probably why mine "couldn't be picked up until Monday" as it was waiting for yours - thanks a lot, buddy!

Oh, and can you take a picture of my car for me when you're there?

So you might beat me still since mine is now stuck in the repair bay till Monday.

Sounds like we will all be neck and neck. My car won't be leaving vancouver until after Tuesday as that is when I'll be inspecting it. It's possible mine might not get to Calgary for another week. Either way if 3s car is still there I will take lots of pics.

I won't order one simply because I need the space in the Frunk. My S85 is faster than most cars anyway. Who am i trying to impress, other Tesla owners?
It's too bad Tesla has dropped the rear wheel Performance option, only dual Performance.

Agreed. S85 is a great car. My decision was AWD biased and the performance is a bonus.

Friend of mine got one. Covered in salt but you can just make out the P85D lol.

 

[Zapped]

I'd be concerned about corrosion. What was the issue on your car initially?

Got my red P85D delivered today and drove it at home. According to my DS, mine is the first Toronto vehicle to be delivered with matching front and rear Next gen seats. Also got the heated steering wheel and 6.1 update 113 was installed.

Must be kind of surreal to have it sitting in the driveway. Glad you got all the goodies first time - you deserve it after your patience!

of course it looks awesome, but you already knew that!

Thanks. Yes I am still awe struck. Wife and I will go out tonight for the promised steak dinner.
