Drove the car down to our wine district - Red Hill, today. First time I had a chance to test out a long stretch of freeway driving and it was A-MAZ-ING. Overtaking at highway speeds probably the most fun I've had in a long time. FLAC playback was awesome, as was the quality of Rdio once I set it to "best".
Visibility in the rear view was pretty good after I got used to it.
Seats were pretty comfortable.
Had two Tesla moments - we parked at the winery and when we came back out the car park was full and a Ferrari was parked next to me. There were quite a few groups of people all ignoring the Ferrari and were looking at the Tesla. When I walked up to it they all said - what's this car? It's a hybrid isn't it? I didn't have time to talk them through it, but I said nope it's fully electric and it's a Tesla! Got in, and when I started driving off without any noise some of the kids' jaws literally dropped!!
We stopped for coffee at another spot and someone walked past the car and did a double take. He goes to me - is that a Tesla? And I said yep. He said I can't believe it! I walked past it and saw the badging and thought it must be, but didn't realise they were on the road already. He got his whole family across and started telling them about Superchargers, and the range etc. I showed them the trunk and the frunk and they loved it.
Hopefully a few more converts!
