I’m curious what wrong color you are planning to buy?

Maybe one of the 7 grays they offer

LOL.
White on red. Second choice was blue on tan, but the tan looked to be the color of trump's face. Just sent over the signed purchase order. (With a 7y/100k extended warranty). Alex

We’re they willing to aggressively subsidize the warranty? Also, congrats! Are we going to get to test drive it on Saturday?

I like it a lot. It's not perfect, but it's pretty neat. Instant throttle response combined with massive torque to thrust you forward quickly yet silently is pretty addicting.
You should test drive a Model 3 Performance. You might hate it, but it's different enough that it's worth experiencing to see how you feel. I had no intentions of buying one, but a test drive hooked me. One foot driving via regenerative braking is brilliant, particularly in traffic. I like autopilot too. So does JBB. JST did the trial and hated it. Suspension is pretty decent. Steering isn't ideal but is better than the embarrassing mess BMW has been putting into heir cars for the last decade or so. The rest of the car isn't particularly special, but ain't terrible either. |

I'm scheduled to pick it up tomorrow afternoon, so it should be with me Saturday for people to play with. Maybe in the snow. Alex

Congrats!
$2100 for a long warranty like that ain't bad.

Let's see if that ends up being sarcastic. :-)
