Yeah, just go. Early on, I woke up at 3am for whatever reason and couldn't get back to sleep so I drove around for a couple of hours... Was great bonding time, saw like 2 other cars the whole time. Go for it!

Thank you.
Ok so day 2 was not so kind to me. I must have ran over a nail or something. Tire lost pressure. Going to take to tire shop tomorrow. I hope it can be fixed vs having to replace the entire tired. Disappointed that Tesla doesn't have any tire warranty (hazard or tread life). I'm looking at having to get a brand new tire if not fixable and there's still great tread life on the tire.

Ditto, this is a serious condition. I have a case of Teslaomnia coming on I can tell, waiting on my delivery in June (D70). The initial signs involve symptoms of constant research, being on this site, preparing to order needed accessories, etc. AhhH!

It gets worse as the delivery date nears. One week left till I get mine and I'm now down to 4 hours of sleep a night!

Definitely afflicted with Anticipatory Teslaomnia... Symptoms include pointing out every Tesla I spot when out and about, and commenting on all the cool features I can't wait to play with. You'd think my wife would be tired of hearing it by now, but I think she loves seeing me get all excited about something. (which I don't do that often)
Of course I don't know what's stronger right now... excitement over getting a Tesla, or anxiety over having such an expensive car when out in public. (never had a car remotely in that price range before)
Regardless, once "Late May" comes around, the real fun begins.

It's an epidemic in this forum. BTW- driving at 3am when the roads are bare is the absolute BEST- gives a whole new meaning to "fly by night". Congratulations!

+1. I think we're skewing the usual Tesla driver demographic.

I am in the same state here. I keep being told "I'm happy you are so excited about something. Ooh, is that another Tesla?" as we drive around town. We are getting good at recognizing the other ones. Practicing our Tesla nod for next week!

In my experience your mileage varies greatly on this - depending on where you take it. If you take it to a large chain, like Discount Tire or NTB, they want to sell you a tire so they are less inclined to fix the old one. I try to go to some small service station that advertises fixing flats. They want to fix it and not sell you a new one. Just my experience.

If it is a nail, you can pick up a tire plug kit for about $5 at Harbor Freight. I don't know if you're handy, but the kit probably cost less than 1 repair! Sometimes you don't even have to jack up the car, especially with a front.

Usually there is a tire manufacturer's warranty.

Well, just found out I can pick it up tomorrow. Only hiccup may be the failure of my bank sending the check to the right place. On hold right now to find out where it went. AARGH, I really hope they got it right!

Another awesome delivery pic in the same thread! Maybe there should be a separate thread for awesome delivery pictures...
I'm the same way on both fronts. My GF is fine with it, though - and she works in an area where there are more Tesla's about than I do...So she sends me a pic whenever she's near one...
...I also haven't had such a high end car before so I feel a little anxious and am saying "Yeah I probably won't drive THERE anymore..."
Early June delivery here!

No warranty. The nail was too close to the sidewall. Needed to replace the tire.
I hate it when they say this crap! I'm 55, and I've had many tires plugged in my life. Only recently have they started using this excuse to sell you a new tire. Makes me so mad!

No worries.
I'm so tired right now though. I only slept 4 hours. I was thinking how dirty my car is from sitting in the rain after the tire was changed. I wanted to wash my car but the sun wasn't out yet. This is pretty pathetic. LOL.

Possibly! Nice car. I was debating black or white.

Yes, our Tesla club is definitely not strictly a "guys" club.
