Tomorrow I have to go down to our church where one of the priests (huge car fan!) wants to drive my car. First priest in a Model S?
I was told by Tesla that I was the first non North American reservation holder to test drive a Model S.
It was 11:00 AM on August 11, 2012.
Can anyone beat that?

First to spot the most random Model Ss in 24 hrs? My count is three:
#1 red parked in Cupertino, #2 black crossing De Anza blvd at lunch, then #3 white passing me on I-280 when heading home.
(To be fair, number 3 had dealer plates and was probably headed to Santana Row...)

First to 'Christen' a Models S
Or has someone claimed that already?
Anyone hit the top speed limiter yet?
I only made it to 123 before the street ended :scared:

Hmm...no pic to prove it but I pushed my P85 to 130 on a nice clear "private" straightaway...unbelievable. I never saw the actual speed (eyes were glued to the road), but the speedometer was pegged.

nice tim!
My road was too short but there are some good stretches around here that are 'wide open', Soon, soon...
The S still feels pretty good going that fast

OK, it was bound to happen... I think it has been about 10 years since my last one and quite frankly I'm glad that this is all it was.
First Speeding ticket in a Model S!
45 mph in a 35... and the officer didn't even make notice of the car besides ' is this a new car' he seemed a little grumpy like he had a bad New Years. ( think I went 55 in that spot the day before it is a 3 lane road that drops on lane to a side street. most cars travel 40-45)
I guess I'll try and go to court with the ' it was a new car and I didn't know how fast I was going' or something stupid. probably won't work but I might as well try if I have the time.

Nice. I forgot about that post. ..I was very lucky!!! 45 is the slowest I'd have been caught for ;>
a 92 in the 35mph zone wouldn't have been so good!( I don't think I've hit that, and now I won't) The police up here just randomly shoot people sometimes!!!
