Last night at Bogota! The Colombian trip was awesome and fun. Tomorrow night is my trip to Buenos Aires and I can’t wait to get home too.

I won't get it for a few weeks, but had no trouble driving it. Very intuitive.

I definitely had anxiety about the single pedal, but got it down almost right away. it’s a game changer.

Have you mastered the “emissions testing mode” yet?

It’s like a golf cart - take your foot off the accelerator and it slows down to a stop. In EV world, it’s called regenerative braking, cuz it actually uses the energy to brake this way to charge up the battery. There’s still a traditional brake pedal if you need it.

It’s a great feature for city driving, when you have to stop and start a bunch.

I will say - thus far - the customer experience at Tesla - from the test drive to basically buying this thing through the app has been super smooth. They must have an algorithm to provide the instant financing/loan decision. The rest - uploading insurance docs, etc. to the app has been painless.

Delivery is slated for mid-March.
