I got this beast on 03/31.
This is my first car ever (you will get to know by my excitement). The most expensive car that I had driven before this was Honda Civic (Zipcar). I was always a car enthusiast but could not drive much as I was busy with studies traveling to different states and countries.
Delivery experience:
1) Took factory tour at 9:00, What an amazing factory! The factory tour guy was hillarious!
2) Met my delivery specialist(substitute) at 9:45. Was treated really really well. I had gone looking at many dealerships (BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes) and was treated very poorly. The almost did not want to sell me anything (I look 20-ish).
3) Saw the car -> a tear rolled down my eyes -> dream come true.
4) Sat in the car for the first time -> WOW! I had not even test driven the car as I got my US license 2 weeks ago.
5) Did a walkthrough! I almost knew more than the delivery specialist, but she was really kind and answered all my questions and consulted others if she didn't know. The only thing that I was not aware of was the auto-tilt feature of the side-view mirrors.
6) Finished paperwork.
7) Came out of the delivery tent to get the demo of summon from the specialist! My friend who came with me and did not have an idea about this flipped out!
8) They said the car is all your now, you are free to go.
9) Left the factory -> entered highway and switched to auto-pilot instantly (my friend flipped out and almost wet his pants).
10) Tried (0-60) -> What a smile on me and my friends face -> priceless.
11) Drove 200+ miles the same day. Could not leave the car for a second. Came out to the garage to take calls just to be near the car. Friends enjoyed a lot every single one of them told me that this is the best thing you have done in your entire life.
12) Went to work, everyone at the office went crazy! Became an Uber driver for that day
.
13) Currently 300+ driven in 2 days! Still can't believe the car is mine! Loving every single moment of ownership! Worth every penny.
Extra bonus points! :
1) Auto-pilot worked every single time (even inside city - I know it is not recommended). There was only one case where I did not trust the car. It was while entering a small bridge with not proper lane markings and no car around)
2) Auto-park - > Only tried Auto perpendicular parking. Worked 100% of the time when it was able to detect the spot (8/10) times.
3) Tesla UHFS was good but did not feel the extra money paid for. Sat down and tweaked the settings. Dolby: On, Bass: 12, Mid: 2.5, Treble: 0. Now it sounds amazing! Almost as good as my 7.1 Sony sound system at home. Also changed sound quality to best in slacker. I would really like Spotify though or at least playlist browsing.
4) Supercharger: only went to one(twice). It was jam-packed, but cars leave often so not a big deal.
5) 21 inch tires -> not a single regret. Can't believe such big tires can be so smooth.
6) Handling -> WOW! Amazing! You really can't tell it is a 5000+ pound car.
7) I thought I would miss the engine noise of a sports car -> Nope, now it is just noise. I really like the airplane like sound of the motor,
If anyone wants to ask me anything, please do. People still deciding wether to buy or not -> Let me save you some time -> Just do it!
