Went to Coffee and Cars and saw these, figured I'd share here. McLaren P1 Carbon Series (all carbon fiber body panels) (1 of 5 in existence) Pagani Huayra Hennessey Venom GT McLaren 675LT (the license plate is hilarious)

About ensuring that you don't get DOA parts thing, the power supply I have now (AX 860), I bought for the sole purpose of reliability. It is also, coincidentally the only power supply to ever die on me

Exactly, I got so much shit from my friends and family for buying "an overpriced, glorified golf cart". Sure there are gas cars like the Mercedes S class (what they tried to convince me to get) that blow the roof off the Model S when it comes to comfort, luxury and build quality. They tried convincing me that getting an electric car was a mistake and that I would run out of battery in the middle of the street that "gas prices are going down anyways". That assumes that people only buy the Model S because it's electric, when that's actually a small part of the reason, and it also helps if you genuinely believe in Tesla's mission and want to be a part of it. Also the buying process was incredibly smooth. I walked into a showroom and asked to test drive it. They didn't even question my age or how I would pay for it or even pressure me into buying. I went home, configured my car, paid the deposit, then got an email from my delivery specialist about 2 weeks later (there's a delivery specialist assigned to you when you place your deposit) saying that my car was going into production and then an email later to schedule delivery. I went in, signed 3 papers and left with the car, all in all spent 20-30 minutes at the service center (10 minutes of that was going over some features)
