I've signed up for this too. Date is tentatively April 1st. I'll report back

 

Nice! You'll love it. Are you scheduled with Lawrence or Oakville? I was tentatively set for April 1 as well but they were able to get me a car the next day once I requested Oakville.

 

Lawrence is closer to me. I've driven a Model S before but I won't pass up the opportunity to have it for an overnight take-home. My wife and I are planning on doing a mini road trip to really get a feel for it and try out a Supercharger along the way.

 

That sounds like a great plan. Looking forward to reading about your experience.

 

Would love to do this. Have driven a S but having it for a day would really make the Tesla experience real. How do you sign up? Simply call a store?

 

When I did mine all I did was walk in the store and asked if I could do a 24 hour test drive and they said absolutely. After giving them my insurance information and a copy of my drivers license I was on my way. Took very little time and they didn't hesitate at all. I will say that being in Dallas and having a pretty decent Model S fleet here, it probably was easier than other places where they may not have so many on hand, but I don't have any info on that exactly.

 

I'd be all over this but doubt they'd like that I'd need to drive 3.5 hours home and back minimum

Here's the link if you want to sign up to try it. Given Kingston however it might not be feasible.

Yes I really want to take my mother and friends of mine who are curious. Thanks for the link Trev hoping I get a turn.

 

I have a reservation in for a Model 3 since 4/1/2016 but I have to admit, I've been looking at Inventory Model S' since I got home. I was afraid the Model S would have been too large for my liking but it honestly was not at all. It handled like a smaller car and the increased length was nothing of concern.​

We did the test drive (non-overnight) of a Model S and ended up getting an inventory car within a month after. Having driven mostly smaller cars before, I'm looking forward to the shorter overhangs and slimmer width of the Model 3, mostly during parking and construction scenarios. The handling of the S does not feel like a massive car - while it's heavy/planted, it is nimble and readily goes where it is pointed with minimal body roll. Our main "issues" have been difficulties with manual parking due to the wider body long nose overhang, as well as a little more anxiety when driving beside jersey barriers and trucks in construction scenarios.

That being said, the car fits everywhere we've gone, so while the ~1ft additional length and ~6in additional width are definitely considerations, they are mostly a mental/spatial adjustment that takes time. I'm very interested to see the cabin packaging of the production Model 3 since if it might have similar passenger volume with a smaller exterior.

I know exactly what you mean. I parked the S in my garage overnight and it definitely took up more space. I had my Civic parked next to it. If I had my Rav4 in there instead of the Civic, it likely would have been too cramped.

 

There's no way a Model S would fit into our singe-car garage but my wife's car (VW Golf) lives in there and my car, which is our daily driver, lives outside. I have no problem with my car being outside and our Model 3 won't be any different.
