After 4.5 years of waiting for this truck, the day finally came. I picked up in Fife, WA a few days ago. Delivery experience was great. The hard part was getting used to the new controls and blind spots, WHILE negotiating Seattle's god-awful traffic. But after about 3 or 4 hours of driving I felt comfortable with it. After two days, I'm already in love with how it feels and drives.
I was worried I might be disappointed, because of all the promises and expectations that come with this truck. But in all honesty I couldn't be happier with how this thing ended up. Zero disappointment. So far.
- I was blown away by the sound system. It feels like being in a nightclub. And looks like it too.
- I love how the truck pauses/plays your music when you exit/enter the cab. This is a music MACHINE. That is one example of many little automations and touches that Tesla excels at. You do not simply DRIVE this thing, you EXPERIENCE it.
- Ride/handling is excellent. Driving is effortless and SO comfortable. Entry/exit auto lowers the truck....it's easy to get in and out compared to most trucks.
- Acceleration 0-60 on sport mode is breathtaking (this is just the bare-bones AWD model)
- UI and phone controls are fast, responsive, well designed.
- Camera views are good and clear. I had no problem getting used to the on-screen rear view camera. I set it to always be on the screen while in drive. Tonneau closed while driving not a big deal.
- New horn sounds like a firetruck, I dig it.
- It's amazing how this spaceship of a vehicle can morph from a sporty race car to a lifted off-road truck with the push of a few buttons.
- Supercharging and home charging are dead simple.
Overall, this is by far the best vehicle I've ever driven. If you're still waiting to pull the trigger, just do yourself a favor and buy the damn thing already.
