I've had my Signature for ten weeks now. Had to drop it at the service center to get an odd loss-of-navigation fix done, and they gave me a nice rental car - an Altima.
Driving back from Fremont to SF, I realized that I never, EVER want to drive a gasoline car again. Why? Biggest first reason: When you take your foot off the accelerator, it KEEPS GOING! My Tesla regenerates and brakes. In the Altima I found myself running up the back of people ahead of me and having to use a lot of -- horrors! -- braking.
I didn't have my usual acceleration and handling, but bottom line was the thrill of regenerative braking. I hope they only need my car overnight!

Know what you mean. The thought of actually having to start a car seems archaic. What do you mean I can't just put it in drive and go???
I notice the same feeling too! It's horrible to go back to ICE! ICE is so ancient!
Tesla is so smooth, so responsive, so calming!
I am so thankful for Tesla for building such an incredible car.
And I, for my part, must apologize for mistakenly posting this thread twice. (This is fuzzy-headed petroleum-caused thinking, of course.)
There is no going back.
I still have yet to sell my old car, and I have had to move it around here and there. The first time I drove it after three days of driving the Model S, the noises were so glaring to me, and it's amazing how quickly I had forgetten about them too. I actaully thought at first that maybe something was wrong with the car (yes, of course I still remembered that the car makes some noise, but it still sounded strange to me).
Also, I almost got out of the car twice without turning it off and removing the key, lol.

I'm wondering if any early adoptee 60kwh owners have used SuperCharging without issue?
For those who bought before the end of 2012 I believe we were...
