Can you get ventilated seats? Having chanced on to them with the 981 and the Jeep, I must say they are quite nice to have in these sticky months. Going forward, I'd like to see them on a 5-series level car or above.

No ventilated seats, unfortunately. I also don't think the seats are particularly special. They're not bad, but they're not great either

Congrats!

I’m in the same delivery window. Let’s see who gets theirs first.

Regarding Waze... Tesla did a major update of its nav guidance earlier this year and it’s really good. It takes road closures and accidents into account (the older one only took traffic speed, but would route you through closed roads). I find it works well compared to Waze...

Thanks! It's replacing the Porsche only.

If after a year I find the BMW never gets driven I'll have to think about whether it makes sense to keep it. But I don't see that happening.

So.. I had a voicemail and email from Tesla this evening. From the delivery advisor.

I’ll call them back tomorrow.

I'm kinda jealous. I really would like an electric car but need the prices for these to come down to reality first.
