I attempted to arrange a test drive of a refresh Model S so I could have some additional time with the yoke before forking over any cash. This is the canned response I received:
”Thank you for your interest in test driving! Due to high demand, all showrooms are awaiting new test drive vehicles to host experiences.
To book a future appointment, please respond 'Model 3 or Model Y'. Model S & X test drives are expected to resume this winter. In anticipation of long wait times & future price increases, if you are ready to move forward, we recommend locking in the current price by placing your $100 order now to secure your place in the manufacturing line.
For any further questions, please request a call. We look forward to hosting you soon!”
So to recap: Flagship vehicle, with brand new steering mechanism, not available to test drive anywhere until at least Q4. But also, give us your money now because FOMO! This company is really something else.
