Well, after a few months of searching, several more months of researching on this forum and elsewhere, and more than a decade of wanting one, my new-to-me 2015 S is finally here. It arrived late Wednesday night on a truck from Seattle - I'd been anxiously watching its (lack of) progress via the app until I realised the location doesn't update when it's not moving under its own power
The spec is almost exactly what I wanted - 85D with pretty much every option except rear-facing seats (which I didn't want), Monterey Blue over tan with obeche matt. Dual chargers, FUSC, Sub-zero, UHFS, SAS and whatever other acronyms you can think of. The previous owner bought it CPO in May 2019, back when CPO was still a thing, so I still have six weeks of warranty in case anything immediate breaks.
I can never leave anything alone, so I've already added:
- IRO dashcam
- Parcel shelf lift kit
- Coat hooks
- Oedro mats
- Evannex center console (but if anyone has an OEM one in tan, hit me up)
- Cubby drawer
I have Teslamate up and running on google cloud, which gives me all the nerdy stats I want - it shows a projected range of 266 miles, which I'm pretty pleased with. SMT is next once the cable arrives. And I have an MCU2 appointment next week - the car is still on 3G, so that'll be a major upgrade.
I've not driven it much yet - to get it cleaned, and to the nearest supercharger. But I'm already super pleased with it. I know it's 'only' a non-performance, AP1, MCU1 car but after 30-something ICE vehicles over three decades (plus a handful of e-scooters and the like) it feels like driving the future. Pics to follow ...
