    Never thought of that.... maybe why car's are almost dead off the transport truck because of the close proximity of the key to the car and at outside shops where they might leave the key in the car.

    Just to clarify- the car does come with a trickle charger correct?

    It is an option, but most I've seen have one. Mine did. Apparently, you need one that is designed for overpriced lithium batteries.

    In case you don't already know, this little gem (battery) is $3K to replace!

    Hmmm, just checked my spec sheet. Charger is not listed. Oh well, will figure it out tomorrow. Car should be at dealership late afternoon.

    Never easy. Make sure to look at it closely before you sign off on the transport to ensure no dings or other issues. I hope everything goes perfectly for you.

    BTW, we did some 60-to 130 mph runs today to test before doing exhaust and downpipes. Gpt 5.3 seconds... Freaking sick.

    That’s spot on what my friend saw with his, 2.5 to 60, 7.8 to 130. It’s such a badass car.

    The car is really something else, I’ll be curious to see what kind of acceleration improvements you see.

    Car arriving Friday. I know shipping cars can be a bit tricky but not a fan of the dealer right now. There seemed to be no urgency in trying to get the car here as quick as possible. Sorry- just frustrated right now! Another 3 days.

    When you said Monday, I didn't have the heart to say anything...but whenever transport tells me a date, I always add at least a week, anything before is icing on the cake. I don't care for your dealership (in AZ or IL) so not surprised, but that's neither here nor there.

    The excitement when that start it up and drive off will make this all history.

    Yeah- I’m not blaming the dealership just a bit frustrated with them. But it’s all good. Friday is the day. Hopefully it doesn’t get delayed further. Getting excited.

    The first time you get in it....you will understand why its the most powerful technology you can buy and drive for under a million dollars.
    Your delivery times will fade fast.
    Be careful….its that fast.
    Good luck,you just bought a spaceship on planet earth.
    Enjoy!

    Most dealers don't care (once the money is in their account).

    I do allot of cars and I use a company that I have been using for years. They are brokers, but they always send real pros... and the cars always come in perfect shape.

    PM me and I'll send you their details.

    if they dont actually pick up the car tomorrow like Ive been told, yes, for sure, ill use your guys. Its just i keep getting the "getting picked up tomorrow" and now its been like 10 days. It sucks and yes, dealership is trying but i just dont sense urgency in getting this done.

    oh well. few more days.
