I've seen two here in the Cleveland area. I flagged down the owner of the first one I saw and we did mutual gawking, him at my V wagon and me at his Tesla Model S.

Do. Want. Can't wait to see what Tesla does next.

I just finished watching both videos. all I got to say is WOW ! this car is amazing. everything is controlled thru the screen that's nuts. I love the suspension idea very much ofcourse lol. no need for springs nor coilovers, a simple button will lower the car to give it that aggressive look specially with those stock 19s. I also hope other car companies come up with something similar and at affordable prices for us to own one day in the future. looking very forward to one of these babies

They really are very impressive cars and drive extremely well, too. Tested one earlier this year and you can read my impressions here:

Honestly, I would have a hard time picking a Panamera or CLS550 over the Model S. My in-laws are waiting for the SUV body Model X and are looking to purchase one of those.

^ Yes, the Model III (3) will start around $35k. I think it was announced but not available for a couple more years...
