As stated, I got my new Model S today. Here is my impression of the first 20 miles in the car. Okay, the quick down and dirty version with more updates to follow. This car is freaking amazing, it is unbelievably fast, 0 to 60 in about four seconds. The interior is somewhat sparse and lacking, the large screen in the middle of the dash is a little obtrusive, as you just are not used to it. But it does look pretty cool and almost like something out of the future. The lack of bolsters in the seats is really my only major concern. The car, due to its acceleration capabilities as well as exceptional cornering and handling really needs a good bolstered seat. This would be my only complaint about the car thus far. Although a quick second, would be lack of cupholders in the backseat. The key fobs looks like a small matchbox version of the car. It has three unidentifiable buttons on the top, one opens the front truck, the second one opens this the rear trunk and the third opens and locks the doors. When you approach the car with fob in your pocket the doorlatch projects out from the body of the car as they are flush when locked and driving. You grab the handle, it does not pull out, the door just openes. The car will light up the interior when you open the door, but the dash stays dark until you sit in the seat. Once in the seat the entire dash lights up and the car is now "on" there is no on or off switch or key. Since the car is now on you can push the Mercedes type gear shift on the column. Hit the accelerator and be surprised. Like I said this car is silly fast. Handling is very good for a sedan, I would equate it with some extremely nice BMWs or Mercedes. Suspension seems a little stiff, but the car is brand-new. I am noticing on the dash that there are some settings for ride height as well as suspension capability. I will play with these and see if they make a difference. That's enough for now, I'm going to do some more driving and test this thing out. I will follow up more later as well as will provide more pictures, but my initial impressions are extremely impressive and I am excited to own this vehicle as a daily driver

Mine should be here next week, having a service center close will be great.

Have not had good luck with optima batteries, if they go completely dead many times you cannot revive them. Not worth the cost in my mind.

It does seem odd being so young, I met his wife at a road event once. Seemed like a really nice family.

A pastry company out if Mexico (Bimbo) is looking at buying up the assets after bankruptcy.

Sounds a lot like the movie she was in called Waterdance, yes full frontal.......and it was 20 years ago.....

The Plant is Silent... Sung to the tune of The Sound of Silence By Simon And Garfunkel Goodbye Ho-Hos my old friend, I’d like to snack on you again... In the darkness silently feeding, While my fat cells were breeding, And the visions that were planted in my brain of whole wheat grain, But now the plant, is silent... In frantic dreams I eat Fruit Pie... A single Twinkie try to buy... In desperate need of a Ding Dong, But the factory is closed and gone. When my mind was stabbed by the biggest loss of all No more Sno Balls Cause now the plant, is silent... And in the morning light I saw, 5,000 jobless, maybe more... People acting without thinking... People hearing but not listening... People carrying signs, that management never read... Hostess is dead. And Inside the plant, there’s silence... “Fools” they said, “You do not know, how to make our profits grow. Hear our words when we tell you We cant do it without help, from you...” But the words, like silent breadcrumbs fell... And echoed in a plant, that’s silent... And the workers bowed and prayed No more Wonder Bread to be made... And the Court sent out its warning, “Be back to work by morning,” And Court said “the words of the owners are written on the Courthouse walls And Union Halls.” And whispered in the plant, that’s silent.

How many tickets you looking for? I have some ticket that are not student seats that I could possibly sell.

The $6-7 month old depend upon your driving habits. If you drive 250 miles a month, this would be correct. The Tesla uses about $0.02 per mile of electricity, an average car uses $0.16 per mile of gasoline. The average driver drives 1000 miles a month, so gas would be $160 vs. $20 of electricity for the Tesla. While it is less expensive to operate you need to look at maintainence also. There is none on the Tesla, I have had my roadster over two years with nothing other than a software upgrade. No fluids, oil......etc. To buy one is more of a statement than a huge cost saving. While cheaper to run, the initial cost is more. I love driving past the fuel stations......which is a statement.

That is weird, it was on YouTube with no restrictions. I will try to track it down.

There is no coming back from that, he will be happy to just walk.

Ty is a Traumatologist, he would not typically do this type of surgery.

I actually owned the General Li, but finally sold it as I took so much crap from the southern boys who thought Dukes of Hazard was real........

I agree completely.

Scott is an excellent surgeon. You got a good one.

Who is doing the surgery? That makes all the difference in the world.
