Thanks for the updates. I'm also in tech leadership and there are times where there just is no energy or availability outside of the job.

I've got a silver GT PE being built next week. And, I've been in Cedar Rapids in February. Are you planning on using this as a daily driver in the winter? If so, are you going to get winter tires/wheels? Being in the foothills of Colorado and has been my MO for the last 20 years. Putting Blizzaks on her Audi Q5 is transformational in the winter. I drove one winter here with summer tires, one arm in a sling and a stick shift. Too old for that now.

Looking forward to your videos and stories of enjoyment!
Undecided on daily driving in winter. I'm already gun shy of any rain or storms in the area, so probably will try to keep it as pristine as possible and have another plan / car available for winter driving. If I would, I will definitely get mud/snow tires for winter - but I know some people get new wheels and swap full wheels/tires between winter and summer.

Ok, I may be able to take this beast to a drag strip tomorrow. Any gander on the time splits? Personally, your very own driver would be like 1.5 people, so my time could be a slight bit slower. But I may also allow an experienced drag strip driver or two to take the wheel. The drag strip owner said he's not had any Teslas on his track yet.

0-60 in 3.5 seconds?
Quarter mile split?
Speed at quarter mile?

I'm game.

I'll say it'll do 13.56 @ 105 mph.

Well I understand the GT500 beats it in the 1/4 mile...but not to 60. I think 12.45

Does anybody know the MME top speeds are for all the trims, including GT/GTPE?

Top speed is governed at 113, isn’t it? It’s gear limited.

Another poster had it correct, here's a little more detail:
  1. November 2019 - Reservation
  2. May 1st, 2021 - Ordered
  3. End of June 2021 - notice of build date the week of July 18th
  4. July 18th - Aug 9th - Status was Building in progress
  5. August 10th - Status changed to shipping with estimated delivery Aug 31st - Sept 6th.
  6. August 12th - Estimated delivery improved by two days to Aug 29th - Sept 4th.
  7. Continued with that for about week, approximately. On PALSAPP, only appearing a Freight Bill number and pending.
  8. August 17th PALSAPP changed to dispatched, but no estimated delivery date.
  9. August 19th PALSAPP changed to delivered in late morning. I called the dealership and they confirmed.
  10. Vehicle was EXTREMELY dusty - probably dust collected from Mexico to Texas to Kansas City.
  11. Got feeling a few dealership employees got to drive / do the pre-deliver inspection, which is fine by me. Spread the fun.
  12. Finalized paperwork and left dealership by 5:45pm, clean as a whistle.
You had a very smooth process very lucky I ordered mine a few days before and mine won't be here till October .

0-60 in 4.1
QTR in 12.7 @ 113

Those are my guesses.

Only on our peasant models. ?? GT/GTPE go to 124. At least that's what was published.
