So we've covered the first songs that will be played, but here's another fun thought. In this hypothetical I'd like you to assume that you've arrived home with your Model S (or it's just been delivered), the dust has settled somewhat, and it's now fully charged and ready for a drive. I know for many the first drive will be home from the showroom/factory or it may even be to work the next day, but what I want to know is, where are you going to go on that first trip that has no other purpose but to drive your Model S? What roads are you going to take and why? Anyplace special to visit along the way?
As an example, here's mine:
We drop the kids and dogs off with Grandma and Grandpa. It's a bright, sunny day (it won't be because it'll be Q1 2013 in Oregon) and we're all packed for a weekend on the Coast. We open the panoramic roof, crank the tunes and hit the road. We ignore I-5 with it's big trucks and head North on hwy 99. It's not all that inspiring a road, but it's surrounded by some beautiful farmland. We take a left at Corvallis and hit hwy 20 and, after going through Philomath, things get interesting as this road will take us up and over the Coast range. Just this once we don't get stuck behind a terrified RV driver in the twisty parts and I get to terrify my wife with the Model S's amazing handling. We take a right at Newport and hit hwy 101. Once again, the tourists are nowhere to be seen as we blast up the coast, soaking in the sea air. Our final destination is a little hotel in Depoe Bay that's got a plug-in waiting for me.
So, that's mine. What's your first-drive fantasy?
