Ya, and quite honestly I think its probably the prettiest car on the road right now. Out here in Los Angeles more and more folks are trading in their Benz and 6 series for them.

Director EDTF · 25 September 2013, 10:57 AM

Wow! Super nice!

lig · 25 September 2013, 11:24 AM

Congrats! My neighbor loves his. The only problem is that his wife has claimed it for herself.

Instant torque FTW!

One of them might have been your car.

I've seen two here in ABQ over the last couple of years.

We actually have 80 in Abq Grady and they're about to open a service center due to the quantity. If only Schwarzenegger hadn't stole the manufacturing plant from us a few years ago.

Massachusetts auto dealer group is suing to stop tesla direct sales not through the dealership model.

TswaneNguni · 25 September 2013, 01:30 PM

Elon Musk ...born in Pretoria and graduated from Pretoria Boys High School

Nice looking vehicle ... and 3.8 to 60 !!

myclue · 25 September 2013, 01:39 PM

threemonkeys · 25 September 2013, 04:21 PM

I'm a self-proclaimed non-car person. But I've been reading up on Tesla and have some serious lust for the beauty.

travisb · 25 September 2013, 08:22 PM

Congrats buddy!

swatty · 25 September 2013, 08:24 PM

They all are--Texas & CA especially. However, they are not going to win, as if it comes to a nationwide law--that will have to be Federal.

However, the reason all the dealer associations

are doing this, is because someone figured out a way to get around their old ways of doing business. Who likes going to buy a car, taking whatever inventory they have, dealing with a car salesman (no offense if any of you are), price haggle, etc.

The way around it in Texas, they put up a 'design center' in a high scale shopping mall, hold 'driving events' monthly (the way you test drive it), then go online and order. No haggling, get exactly the car you want configured the way you want, and in 30 days you have a perfect American made car that's kicking some serious bootie

Bye, bye auto dealers

fwong208 · 25 September 2013, 10:33 PM

The only other one I've seen was in california driving from LA to Palm Springs. Looks nice on the road. Definitely an eye catcher

007bond · 26 September 2013, 03:08 AM

Paul,

It's good to see the enthusiasm for your acquisition, please keep updating on this beauty's performance.

Are you attending the Formula One race in November?

watch watcher · 26 September 2013, 03:29 AM

Spectacular. I don't know if this is your model, but a good demo vid:

singe89 · 26 September 2013, 03:40 AM

I see them all the time in LA and OC. Really good looking cars!!! I'm a big motor head and was never into electric cars but this is the first one that has really caught my attention.

wantonebad · 26 September 2013, 05:01 AM

48 hours into owning it and I'm just blown away by it. Never did I feel this way about any of my other cars.

And yep, will be at F1. Need to get a mini-GTG together for that weekend at the race

My doctor got his a while ago and said the same exact thing. He says it is a kick in the backside for acceleration, too.

Enjoy yours safely

That is a really great looking sporty 4-door. Love the wheels.
It's a real triumph to be a successful new niche manufacturer in this day and age.
Hope they go on to greater success.

Andad · 26 September 2013, 06:00 PM

That is quick.

Enjoy.

MisterStefan · 26 September 2013, 06:04 PM

Very nice!!!

mailman · 26 September 2013, 07:57 PM

Very nice Paul

Enjoy

DiamondJack · 27 September 2013, 01:47 AM

Very cool

and one hell of a 0-60 time for a 4/5 seater..... Perhaps only the Bugatti Veyron would be quicker for a car capable of carrying that many people.........

But is it strange just hearing the wind noise rather than the engine screaming away......? Or maybe preferable

G8RDPM · 27 September 2013, 02:59 AM

Huge congrats,Paul.

That car looks awesome. I haven't seen one yet.

Maybe there is a substitute!
