Well, I finally got to test drive a Tesla today. I was in Menlo Park for some meetings and realized the Tesla showroom was right down the street so I stopped by. Jeremy was kind enough to toss me the keys to a light blue, early prototype. It has the 2-speed transmission but was locked into 2nd gear. Apparently it only has about 75% of the power of the production version that I'm getting. And it was really powerful!
My first impression was fantastic. The car has a smooth acceleration that throws you back into your seat. Of course, its silent - all you hear a light whirrr and the wind rushing by. What a rush!
I enjoyed reading your post and I like your take on the issue. Thanks.

If you're in not good state and have no cash to go out from that point, you would require to receive the loans. Just because it will aid you unquestionably. I take short term loan every year and feel myself great because of that.

Just saw the below post and wondered if you got to do the same stuff described here or if your test drive was tamer:

This post is old, so I don't even know if you'll see it, but thought I'd try anyway.

Ha, I thought you were sitting in an F430 convertible at first . . . the Tesla still costing $100,000+?

I can't wait to see yours in person, and to let you drive me around in it for a few minutes... When does yours get here again?
