Some commentary after a day of work, few pics, and letting a few friends drive:
- The dark grey color is lighter in the pictures than seeing in person, so I think it does look cooler in person.
- I've let a couple other EV techies drive it today and they are exhilarated
- Intense laughter when stomping on the go pedal
- "Feel it in the gut."
- Like a roller coaster and space shot
- Tight control - great stability
- Steering wheel feels fantastic, for a race car.
- 15 minutes later: I can still feel that power in my gut!
- Heavy sense of regeneration, ie. let go of pedal and can definitely feel it actively slowing down, not coasting. (probably not specific to the GT PE)
- I have to adjust power response expectations in traffic - such as goosing it to pass - need to ensure I've already changed lanes before goosing it, otherwise intense acceleration sneaks up too fast to car in front.
Updated with complete specific timeline:
- November 2019 - Reservation
- May 1st, 2021 - Ordered
- End of June 2021 - notice of build date the week of July 18th
- July 18th - Aug 9th - Status was Building in progress
- August 10th - Status changed to shipping with estimated delivery Aug 31st - Sept 6th.
- August 12th - Estimated delivery improved by two days to Aug 29th - Sept 4th.
- Continued with that for about week, approximately. On PALSAPP, only appearing a Freight Bill number and pending.
- August 17th PALSAPP changed to dispatched, but no estimated delivery date.
- August 19th PALSAPP changed to delivered in late morning. I called the dealership and they confirmed.
- Vehicle was EXTREMELY dusty - probably dust collected from Mexico to Texas to Kansas City.
- Got feeling a few dealership employees got to drive / do the pre-deliver inspection, which is fine by me. Spread the fun.
- Finalized paperwork and left dealership by 5:45pm, clean as a whistle
