Well before going any further. A HUGE THANK YOU to all of YOU. I have spent the last two weeks on the forum asking questions, reading, researching (you know the thing Telsa owners do :smile.
I kept hearing the same thing--"it's amazing". I'm thinking to myself what this Kool Aid tastes like that all of these people are drinking. Well I found out today in Austin--and the flavor Kool Aid was P85. I scheduled my drive two weeks ago and have been restless ever since.
First, if the experience is going to be anything like mine was today, it's going to be a fun ownership experience. Greeted by the store manager (super nice person) and was placed with Kevin or Keith (I apologize--I don't remember as I was in lala land after the drive). Got to the car and had great conversation. They knew I was buying today, so took all the time I needed--almost 1 hour I got with him. We went for an extended drive and freeway--holy ****. I have driven almost every kind of sports car, owned more Porsches than I wish to admit--and NOTHING and I MEAN NOTHING left me with a school boy giddy feel like this awesome car. We did MULTIPLE 'floor it' scenarios--that was it--done--done and done. :love:
I had been on the fence about S85 or P85--well after driving P85 (or course they don't have anything else to drive), I decided that was it--period. Also, coming from a Porsche 911 4S, I thought it was a safe bet to get the P85. I was also on the fence on pano. Again, didn't have one without, and I didn't want to gamble on headroom--so who cares it's just another $2500--boy things started to add up quick HA!
I was sold after the first launch--we could have just headed back at that point, but I'm glad we didn't. Super fun drive. Got back to showroom (which was PACKED) from drive, got on the phone with a rep from CO, placed order on the phone. Got the confirmation email, confirmed and into "Sourcing parts". No need to wait ANY LONGER!

Very happy with order and no regrets. Got off phone, told store manager I ordered--got a high five, then like 4 people that where around were like "you just bought one" high fives all around. It was fun!
