14 months after giving our deposit (#4768), we finally decided being an early adopter was not in the cards. The sheer mass of this vehicle is really the main reason, but the other reasons above were significant also. While the maintenance program is very comprehensive, it costs significantly more than we spend on our other cars, especially since we usually put only 8000 miles a year on our cars. While I'm sure folding mirrors, useful cupholders, more comfortable and supportive front seats amongst other things will certainly improve on subsequent models, I feel that for the price this car is costing, they could have done better on the interior. Those things being said, I think the car is gorgeous, handles well for such a large heavy vehicle, and is actually very impressive.
It really boils down to size and weight being the biggest factor why we opted out, especially after getting rid of our Panamera 6 months ago for the same reason.
Last week we got a refund on our Model X (#169) as well after I came to my senses and acknowledged I much prefer a sports car to any SUV.
On a positive note, there's $10,000 more now for my wife and me to frivolously spend now. I think a new TV is in order while the football season is young.
Looking forward to seeing what Gen III has to offer. I think that will better fit our needs.
