I got this on my old email that was simply subscribed to the Model S newsletter. My Model X and power wall order is on a completely different email.I have heard of overnight test drives for exotic cars. They must only extend that offer to well-qualified buyers.
I took my first test drive of a Model S back in July. During discussion with my Advisor I mentioned my concern over the size of the MS and my worry how easily it would fit into my tiny garage. He immediately offered me an overnight test drive, to take the car home and check the fit firsthand. I wasn't ready to make a purchase decision for other reasons, until about 3 months later when I finally took up his offer. They let me take a demo vehicle from late afternoon to the next morning - basically the hours when the Tesla store was closed and they didn't otherwise need the car. It was very useful to not only check the garage fit, but also drive along some of my typical routes and try out both home and public charging.I have heard of overnight test drives for exotic cars.

Other than seeing I was very interested in the car, at no point from my initial store visit to my eventual purchase did they inquire that I was somehow a "qualified" buyer. I think it's just up to the Advisor and car availability to decide to offer such an extended test drive.
I had an extended test drive overnight when I mentioned I wanted to see how it would work on my commute. The main issue was scheduling, their cars are in constant demo. Otherwise, no qualification, no worries, easiest and best test drive experience I've ever done.
Again one of those things that probably depends on the Tesla center you're dealing with but I got to test drive over a whole weekend because they had several loaners. All they asked for was my DL and not even proof of insurance. I did have to sign a waiver and one of the stipulations was to not drive over 80... Yeah right! :tongue: I did not have to prequalify financially to do the test drive and it was one of the easiest test drives I've ever had. That test drive sold me completely on the car so yes, overnight test drives are worth it for them and us.What qualifications did you need? Did you have to sign anything?
Yes you do and it's a pretty standard waiver. There wasn't anything on there that I remembered being very onerous.Did you have to sign anything?
there was some kind of standard waiver to sign and they asked for my D/L before the test drive, but there wasn't any kind of financial qualification check at all. Perhaps it was clear from my questions and general knowledge of the car I was seriously interested in it. I did not end up placing a deposit down until weeks after my 2nd (ie overnight) test drive. One other thing to mention - the standard test drive at the store is very short - I've heard other people had same experience. so it's worthwhile getting some kind of extended/overnight test drive. Do it if you're offered the chance.What qualifications did you need? Did you have to sign anything?

We will be interested in doing this in the late spring, early summer as we approach the end of our Focus Electric lease. I hope that I have an easy of an experience getting a Model S for an extended test drive as many here have commented. We'd prefer to do a weekend test drive since we usually drive only about 40 miles combined Monday-Thursday and then drive 150-200 on Friday-Sunday. Hopefully they would let us take the car Thursday night & bring it back Monday.
Got this email from Tesla, not sure what they mean by overnight test drive?
