Ok guys! I just got back from Chicago to Greenville, SC after being AMPed up! I drove the black performance Model S since I am ordering the performance version. In short, it was awesome! Now this comes froma guy who has blessed with nice cars during his first fifty years. My V10 M6 BMW would go 0-60 in 3.6 and was the closest thing to a rocket I ever drove until today. On the frontage road, my guide asked me to stop and open it up on a 0-60 run. While unofficial, we timed it at 4,2 which makes me feel solid about the 4.4 claims by Tesla. The constant torque of the electric motor will bring a smile to the most die hard ICE guy! While the fit and finish inside was not as tight as my 7 series BMW, I did not except that to be anyway. After all BMW has been making top quality cars for a long time, but what I will tell you guys, I was so impressed with the quality of the Model S, handling, acceleration, braking, and overall performance, my wife and I are definitely buying the Model S and placing a Model X order for her and getting rid of all of our fancy ICE's!
Now colors are like food, a personal taste; however, all four of my favorites were there (grey, silver, black, and blue). While I liked them all, my wife was blown away by how good looking the grey color was. I have read a lot of flack about the grey in some of the forums, but it is really beautiful in person.
In short, Tesla has a winner on their hands, and I hope everyone in Chicago has as much fun as I did!
Getting AMPed down south,
