Today was my second day with my Model S. I drove to the airport in the am facing another day of rain so I was cautious with the throttle. When I returned from my trip to Ann Arbor this evening, the roads had dried and traffic was relatively light, so I could open it up.
Of course, the Model S attracts a lot of attention, but the multi-coat red raises it to a whole other level. On the 25 mile drive home I had four or five cars tailgating me to get a look. When I was not happy with how close they were following, I just put the pedal to the metal and left them far behind almost instantaneously. The car literally leapt from 55 or so to 80 or 85 before I even noticed. The colleague riding with me was blown away (as were the other cars).
The car is just wickedly quick. I've never driven anything like it.
I look forward to getting up in the morning just to drive it.
