Today I am going to be a going green, tree hugging, pompous asshole and test drive a Tesla P85D with fellow Opponaut !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! this afternoon. I can’t wait! Test drive is set for 2:30 and is 15 mins long. I hope to record some of it and hopefully get into a open area to hit warp speed. Good way to start my Friday.

If you decide to try insane mode, you may want to consider wearing an adult diaper.

I’m going to try to make sure that happens but NYC traffic is usually horrific anytime before 1 AM.

It emits a Musk that repels damage.

A friend has a non-D P85 and said he’d take me for a ride only upon the condition that I agree to drive.

The P85D was amazing, I haven’t posted about it because I got to floor it for a split second to make a gap in traffic and that isn’t really any info at all. I am going to be test driving it somewhere further than Manhattan so I can actually get to an open road and finally post about it.

The interior and exterior of the car are fantastic, anyone who cries about how it’s not luxurious enough definitely doesn’t understand the design motif, it is clean as fuck.

I bought $800 of stock in Tesla a couple of days after it went public and that investment is now worth $5600. I just wish I’d added a zero to my initial investment. I’d have almost enough for a Model S of my own.
