I've been riding my Multistrada to work quite a bit lately which kind of defeats the purpose of having a hybrid. I've been toying with the idea of trading in the Camry for one of these.
I was close. :biggrin:
How long did you have the Stingray before you bought the Z07? Another 9 months?
You clearly aren't married and/or don't have kids.
14 months.
Had a GT500 12 months before that.
Had a challenger 13 months before that.
I guess you don't get emotionally attached to a car. Which is nice. I am still unable to get rid of my first car, and still holding on to it for 16 yrs now

So far so good. I've been under the weather though so haven't really gotten to enjoy it yet.

The interior is on par with expectation for a high end sedan. I have the highest end seats, and I can't really say that I have ever sat in a more comfortable car seat. I wouldn't want them for a track, but for just driving, they're great (and they'd better be for $2,500 over the base seats).
....
Now for the biggest surprise. It's a calming drive. It's not a stressful drive. It makes you not rush to your destination. I've found that the most enjoyable way to drive is just set the traffic aware cruise control, ignore the throttle and brakes and just steer. I'm an impatient, fast, and aggressive driver even in my cheap underpowered commuter car. ....
that is awesome. Is there a limit on such GPS enabled settings it can remember?'ve enjoyed being able to go to homes with a rough driveway and set it to very high, and never having to worry again because when I turn in to them, it remembers and goes back to very high.
Appreciate your take. This is indeed very good for Tesla as it seems that they have addressed major complaints from earlier builds.
Most of the points had to do with the seats, fit and finish, quality of materials for the price.
Your note regarding 'calming drive' is new to me and very surprising to be honest. It is a good thing for sure.
Now, Elon has said that Tesla will not do a bad product. I believe that. Your report shows that they have improved the Model S to 125K point especially in terms of its interior.
Can't wait for what Model X and 3 will bring.
Ok, I've driven it more now, so I have some first impressions after 250 miles or so.
...
So far, very satisfied, and it is a needed change.
