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).

Not terrible. Solid third choice.

We’re they willing to aggressively subsidize the warranty?

Also, congrats! Are we going to get to test drive it on Saturday?

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.

The list price on the extended warranty was $3900, searching on the internet it seemed that $2100 was the lowest I could find people saying they paid for those terms and the local dealer agreed to match it. Seems like a good deal considering the car only comes with 4y/50k and Alfa.

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.

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