    Co-worker has a subscription, and he says he received (on Saturday) the one with the Model S on the cover.

    Is it a reprint of their online first drive article from the 22/06 event?

    Oops. I completely missed the LA thread since it was further down the page. I added the links you provided but also kept the comparison one since it was pretty informative.
    Thanks for catching that. I'll go back sometime this week and add other user reviews from the LA event.

    Can a mod update the OP with the latest updated list of reviews?

    I think this is a new review on cnn.com:

    Tesla Model S review: A good first impression

    I love this review because it's from a (former) skeptic who admits he thought the Roadster was a gimmick, and while looking for problems with the Model S, couldn't find any.

    Yes, it is a reprint of that event (which is the first link in the OP).

    For anyone that's interested, their picture gallery is here:

    That looks to be the case. I've got a subscription to MT and I received the second one (with Model S on a larger portion of the cover).

    Great covers and all, but are they abusing the word "exclusive" a bit here?

    This blows . I went to over 5 different stores and they all had the Chevy Impala cover. Bought one anyway but wish the B&M stores got the Model S cover.
