P3D owner.
Mountains of Colorado.
I can't believe I'm doing this, talking to people who aren't in the room. I think social media is a social disease. If I post more than 5 times, flame me.
I've had Audi's for years - 02 TT, 05 S4, 06 S6 Avant, 012 A7 with Stage 4 tune.
I sold my A7 to get our Tesla.
Tesla clearly understands car guys. The P3D is an ode to my "S" cars, that was the hook for me. I'm a car guy. Rear badges matter. Red brakes matter. Although after I took my A7 to Stage 4, I took off all the badges on it.
The A7 feels like a car from the dark ages.
By far and away, the best car I’ve owned.
Seats are super comfy. Way better than the Napa in my S4, which were the best seats I've ever been in, in any car.
Best factory sound system I've heard. It’s better than my A7 that I had custom work done. Great bass, great highs and lows. Big surprise. Usually the sound system in a factory car is a big disappointment. No changes needed.
I'm 6'1, 193 after breakfast. It’s not too small for me. In fact it feels just right. My A7 felt a little big.
Bonus is that 19” snow tires can go on the rims - or so they say.
The minimalist feels right. All my other interiors feel wrong now.
Insurance is .87 less (6 months) than my A7.
Now I’m not so sure about wanting an S. Although I do like the extra space, would like a roof rack.
I'd hoped charging would be better, oh well. I can make it from our house to Denver, 144 miles, on 80% charge. In the Winter I'll charge to 100%.
They didn't do a very good job of detailing the car, they rushed me through. But no different than any other car dealer. In the car business you find a dealer you hate the least.
Yes, I'm on the left - $@# Trump. We have a 10kw Sun Power solar system, now the car. It feels great to do more for Mother Earth.
"Even So", it wasn't about politics. I bought the car because of the numbers. Over 6 years, factoring the Fed and CO $5k rebate, all the other savings, free supercharging and home charging, this car will cost about $4.5k a year. My A7 cost us $11k a year. And, the car will still be worth something. I got nothing for our A7.
We couldn't afford not to buy the car.
Getting Vanity plates. Thought about HIPECAR to match our HIPEVAN, someone else can take that.
Peace and love,
