I had a chance to drive the Model S P85D at Seattle Westlake today. It had just been delivered and the staff was excited. I actually declined the offer at first, since I was afraid it might make me order one if I drove it! The wait for the X is getting old, and WA tax breaks go away in 6 months without legislative action. That is a big deal at our almost 10% sales tax rate.
As great as the car is, it made me realize I really don't want a sedan. I have a 2 seater AMG roadster for fun, and the space, height and carrying capacity of the X are still what I'm after in an EV. Surprisingly, driving the P85D confirmed that decision and didn't weaken it.
I want all the great things in the S, along with everything new we expect from the X, and a few interesting colors and interior options. Here's hoping they get X line rolling soon!
