As I explained to the Tesla employee, the difference between the S and the X is absolutley noticable. The S drive is all from the rear making it feel like a rocket ride. The X was like a flying carpet! So, if you wet your pants with the S just get ready for the X. It will make you cream.
 
I should have known better than to doubt... Is this the company that under-promises and over-delivers? Check this out...

Not only was the booster seat not a problem, they even offered to watch the baby for us during the ride so my wife could come too! Wow!

Thanks for the confirmation, and the reminder that Tesla is not a typical car company! I shouldn't have doubted either (sorry, TM...).

No extra info about the Model S, but this is GeorgeB telling us about the test drive route

Awesome video! Love the enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing.

One thing I'm glad I did: after the event I backtracked to the route in my regular car and drove the "bumpy road" again. What a difference...

I got a chance to talk with George for about 10 minutes; what a great guy! Anyway, Model S is here and it's all we dreamed it could be and more! He did drop a little teaser on me though... apparently they're doing some new things with the Falcon wing doors of the Model X that are going to blow our minds.

The first thing my wife and I did after our test drive was to take our ML 430 through the street portion of the test drive. The difference was noticeable.
 
Hey, is that you, Doug_G? Canadians, anyway... great video!

Yep, that's me driving Elon's black Performance Model S! I had a blast - what a great car!

Now I gotta point out that both the Tesla employee and head TMC moderator doug started screaming as I headed into that big sweeper. What's the matter, never been around a race track before? Truth was, I wasn't pushing the car anywhere near its limit - at most we were at about 6/10ths of the car's capability (that's all I'd do without everyone wearing helmets). I can't wait to try one on a real race track.

lol, my Tesla employee helper actually cheered a little as I did the S section onto the highway. Something about I was the first person to do it properly or something. I wasn't really tracking because I had to slow down for merging into traffic.
