Ordered an S85 in Blue w/ tan leather, obeche matte, tech, pano, and rear-facing seats, for delivery on Fri. Placed the order about 10 days ago, and got help from the sales team to get it super fast. Very excited to pick it up in less than 48 hours.
I deliberated quite a bit about:
- Inventory vs. new
- Air vs. coil suspension
Ultimately, the discounts on the few available S85s didn't really seem worth it, and there aren't a ton of used cars on the open market. Re: air vs. coil, my advisor said that the folks she sells air to rarely use the feature, and I was also convinced by lolachampcar on that one on the longevity point.
Big thanks to a few sources for guiding me through this process
- Consumer Reports, particularly the great YT video where the auto editors explain their rating (they sound like paid ad - only I know they aren't!)
- The NatGeo special on the Tesla factory and the Model S launch
- lolachampcar for answering a ton of questions
- And you! - the TMC Community!
Now on to getting the car wrapped, installing Goshers blind spot sensors and Mobileye, and taking the car on a 1,000-mi road trip through Sequoia National Park and LA with the wife and kids!
