Congrats! I think it looks awesome! I love the transformation from "sports sedan" to "sports car".

Dr Taras' Model S gets customized!

Nice work Dr. T and Al & Eds!
While it is not the style I would pick for my car (a little strong for me to feel comfortable driving it), I can definitely see the appeal.
I find it eye catching, strong, and aggressive, without being too much (except maybe the wheels, it would take some time getting used to them).
I like the way the black and brushed aluminum work together, particularly the "Tesla" on the doors and the black covering the chrome on the mirrors.
I also like the way the black makes the nose cone look more integrated and less like a "nose."
Keep the pictures coming! Would love to see more of the interior work you've done.

Tesla joins NASCAR
Looks like the two-tone genre is catching on @ NASCAR...
Of course its from an April Fools Joke article in Edmunds

You're definitely a classy guy, doctor... The Bugatti IS beautiful, and you are correct: your customized look is a disruptive innovation... and, for that, I applaud you... Still hoping to see your distinctive car around the Valley.
It's all personal taste. I hate the Bugatti, it just looks like random excess to me. The model S workover isn't to my taste, but it has a well defined and distinctive american muscle car feel. Since you could argue that's what the Model S is, I think it works.
Dr. T it looks like you have your electric American muscle car.Enjoy it.Last month I was getting my Model S wrapped with Suntek PPF and the shop in Boca was putting a chrome wrap on a little Bugatti.The new owner of the Bugatti didn't like the two tone black and blue and asked them to do the chrome.BTW, he bought the car at an auction for only 900,000 dollars.Let's see if I can attach a few photos...

Dr. Taras, looks pretty wild! I love the SS wrap. I'm very curious about the audio upgrades you made. How does it sound now? What difference do you notice? Thanks.
why r your pix so much better than mine VFX?
maybe its the 'V' in 'VFX?'
thanx for posting!

I plan on giving you ball park numbers and lists of what I did, but first I need for it all to soak in and now I have to hit the manuals. For instance, I know my drive-cam has streaming video to my smartphone but I'm not sure yet how. Also, I want to give you some honest feedback as well, so that's all coming. Stay tuned!
I've got pretty thick skin and now so does my car! No worries :wink:
Not sure. I know that they've been shipping those mats across the country, but not sure about the strip. You can PM Elie (A-E) but I know that he's swamped!

My thoughts, too. But that's just it - the Model S is a new classic American muscle car. Just isn't recognized for it yet.
Looks like he got it on the cheap!
Then he had to individualize it!
Things that make you go hmmmm!
Anything in particular? I've been posting interior shots along the way. Were you looking for something that you were waiting on a 'finished' shot?
VFX that is one truly lethal photo, well done.
Okay... this Model S transformation really reminds me of one of the coolest movie villains ever, it was the police officer (liquified silver and black) T-1000 in Terminator 2. After this infamous attack scene (check the clip below), if the T-1000 were to jump into his futuristic-robot bad lieutenant police car, Dr. T's would definitely be the one...

Earlier in this thread he mentions the rims are custom as well.
But I betcha A & E could set ya up with a set.
Blind spot monitor flashes and beeps when you use your turn signal.
I think all this technology is supposed to make me a better driver or at least use better habits!
I actually think it makes us rely on it a bit more, BUT the savings should be worth the trade off!
