It is not often one gets to be the first to show up in a new car to Coffee and Cars...but, even though production delays meant I did not receive my 2016 Model X until September, I still manage to be the first to bring Tesla's SUV to our local monthly meet.

Though I arrive late and have to park on one of the side lots, the sun happens to be hitting my shiny white toy just right...and the Falcon Wing Doors, as expected, attract a lot of attention. I never leave her side the entire meet, fielding many questions from a range of interested individuals. The first I speak with shows up in a McLaren...the owners also own a Model S (and it is the wife's favorite car in what sounds like an extensive collection).
