So May 24 is the Fri before Memorial Day, so I'm guessing it will go on a truck the Tues after Memorial Day (the 28th), and arrive in the area on the 29th. I'm guessing I can schedule delivery for Sat June 1 then (so the lower sales tax will apply).
That gives me ~2 weeks to sell the Porsche or Carmax it. I asked for a trade-in quote from Autonation (Tesla's partner), and should get that in the next couple days and will be good for 30 days, and I can drop the Porsche off after delivery of the Tesla. AZ has a sales tax benefit on trade-ins -- so is worth $1700 to $1800 depending on the trade offer (but if Carmax offered more than that, I can just Carmax it and have the same value)...
I had the Porsche detailed last weekend, and just gave it a quick rinse-off bath this morning. Need to keep it looking good...

in layman's terms, is the 300mi range of the Tesla S because the battery pack is, for example, triple the size of the one in the Leaf?
or did they also have further innovations in the battery composition or regen?
it's spectacular range, so i'm just curious how they do it.
