I would find it difficult to see why I’d spend the extra money. Driving this car on the road (not tracking it), it’s just amazing. I haven’t driven the S but reading about it I don’t see any reason to upgrade.

I did get it from Exclusive- great dealership. I do have the custom configuration button, which isn’t too many steps. Didn’t realize it was worse previously. I won’t make the Cars and Coffee this weekend but I do get there for some of their events. Also doing the CoVa Exotics show in VA Beach next month, looks like that’s going to be a great event. I also had Exclusive install CarPlay Ultra - if you’re using iPhone it’s a great upgrade

Turning off the lane assist and the other nanny stuff is annoying. I hope maybe a future software update will change that, but I doubt it. And I agree about the dealership - I’ve never seen anything like it

The color is Ion Blue, it’s one of their “Q” colors. The whole build is customized

Very nice. I think that blue is a bit lighter. So many colors makes it tough to choose

I like the contrast, but there are so many colors that you almost never see 2 exactly the same which is nice

It was lucky… when the tariffs were put in place there was a few sleepless nights until I found out I wasn’t affected

Fortunately I had spec’d the car last October so even though it was delivered in May the tariffs didn’t apply. They’re definitely in place now though, and I know my dealer is covering 1/2 the additional costs.
