Hi Tonto 28, yes I forgot to comment on the audio and on the performance and ride. I really like the audio, it is clear, crisp and very balanced, flat response across the range in terms of frequency I would say. I haven’t fiddled with the audio settings at all. I am a bit of an audiophile I am sorry to say, I have a Naim setup which has no adjustments for treble, mid and bass and I rather like not messing about too much with what the manufacturer has dialled in. When I went for a test drive in the LR with the premium interior, however, the first thing I did was turn down the bass … I am not a heavy bass fan. The RWD certainly doesn’t seem to be short on speakers or sound quality. Honestly, I find the hifi to be perfect, I really like it. Spotify sounds really good. I had reservations too, but for me they were unfounded.
The car may not be a Plaid, but it is darn quick and effortlessly so. It feels like a transporter rather than a car. The motor is silent in general use, makes a very pleasant noise if pushed hard (like you have engaged warp speed) and sounds like an alien spaceship when reversing. The ride is firm, I heard somewhere that it is reminiscent of a rear wheel drive sporty 3 series BMW and I think that isn’t far of the mark. Personally, I am glad I went for the aeros as I wouldn’t want the harder drive and increased tire noise from the larger alloys.
Mats are included, they are okay … a bit on the light weight side. Mudflaps in the boot, but I haven’t fitted them yet … not sure whether I will. Charging cables x 2. USB in the glove box. Nice first aid kit. Haven’t driven it at night yet, but will be doing on Friday. Oh, and I still need to suss out the voice commands. The autopilot and traffic aware cruise control are great and intuitive to use.
The entry RWD is definitely a sweetspot in the Tesla range. They are worth waiting for and you will love it.
