Some of you may remember me from my days as a snot nosed teenager with no money and a 240sx (This was back when Jesda still drove a Q45.. :spitout: ) then I was rocking a G35 and later got a Lexus IS.

Sup @ AZHitman, Jesda, OriginalWheelman etc...

Upgrade time. I just bought a Tesla P85.

21inch wheels, 15k miles on the clock. Rated @ 0-60 in 4.2sec.. actually does it in 3.9sec. Seats 7.

Unlimited Supercharging for life. No more gas for me.

I believe Jesda is already Mr Fancy Pants.

The Tesla looks good! Did you buy it brand new or used?

Two things to love about a Tesla, the Supercharger network and that interior space. I'd make sure you are grandfathered into the free super-charging, as that ended in 2015, and I'm not sure it's transferable. You are still subject to the 'idle fee'
Tesla.com wrote:The Tesla app allows owners to remotely monitor their vehicle, alerting them when their charge is nearly complete and again once fully charged. For every additional minute a car remains connected to the Supercharger, it will incur a $0.40 idle fee. If the car is moved within 5 minutes, the fee is waived.
Be careful. Enjoy the 450hp RWD goodness. Just watch your a** on the ice.

Free supercharging for life for all cars sold before January 1st 2017 even if you're buying CPO from Tesla.

Don't be an a** and leave it on the supercharger..

I live in Southern Texas, What ICE?

You say that, but global warming or something.

Still, sweet ride! Does it cruise nicely? Good for you being a continual early adopter of the tech!!

I had a Lyft driver pick me up in one Friday night. It's easy to forget how massive that touch screen is until you're in the front passenger seat. The styling has worn very well.
