-drove to the SC in Marina Del Ray…. Was greeted by a fantastic Tesla team.
- said goodbye to my old friend “Apple”, my 2016 Red Tesla X. Great car and enjoyed her.
-took a test drive for the Tesla team to show off the FSD, (I’m now a confirmed convert!!!!)
- the Tesla team escorted my husband and I inside where I completed the paperwork within 15 minutes. My X immediately disappeared from my App.
-after 10-15 minutes of anticipation they pulled back a black curtain with my Cybertruck sitting in a bank of fog, and laser lights dancing off of its shiny stainless steel. I could barely walk over to it, my legs were rubber. Facing my truck were 2 trucks on each side, with there Frunk lids opening and closing to add to the fog and light show. It was as if they were applauding me. SO F**King awesome.
- after I could get my feet back on the ground I got the whole introduction to my truck. Excellent presentation and customer service. I was overwhelmed with the extreme tech, the beauty of the design, its simplicity and beauty.
When I was ready and no more questions - they asked us to go outside, for delivery.
-We waited outside, and my truck (now called “RIZZ”) pulled out of the warehouse and down a red (carpet) ramp, all lights flashing like a disco.
- we were briefed on the driving process, and I took a couple of laps around the parking lot, and said goodbye and thanked the Tesla Team - we felt special and well appreciated.
- I drove out into the wild, nervously retraining myself in how to drive. It was a bit anxious but I soon relearned views, blinkers, etc.
- we drove to the PCH, sound system blaring, (the best auto sound system I’ve heard!!!)
Up the coast for a true California moment.
- stopped at the beach and took pictures paired our phones and Spotify.
- drove Sunset across LA, with smiling waves and lots of attention. A See the Stars open double decker bus, filled with tourist, stopped for the out of Townes to take pictures of my truck! Waves and pictures. I felt like a celebrity.
- we ended the afternoon at TSportline, for a wrap and window film consult. GREAT team there. They had 4 trucks in the floor and 20 on the production list!!!
- getting window film on the 23rd, full two tone wrap on the 29th with a weekend road trip to Vegas in between.
- the drive all in over LA was met with lots of smiles, a young kid who was just staring with his mouth open, until I waved at him, and he sheepishly waved back and smiled.
- the best was a caught a young woman in the car next to me with her phone up, after we smiled I rolled down my window, and she said she was FaceTiming her brother in Atlanta who had never seen one before. I told him it was day one and it was amazing. He gave me a thumbs up and she yelled thank you as the light changed and we drove away.
Rizz is parked out in front and every one who is walking by - taking pictures and I can’t believe that this wondrous truck is in front t of my house!!!
Well done Tesla, Well done!
