Yes--it was really neat.

BTW--Car & Driver kind of trashed it in their recent road test. And after my daughter's poor customer experience, I expected maybe not to like it much. But it exceeded my expectations by a lot.

And--did I mention that it runs the quarter in the 11s?
The motorized vents seem interesting at first, but then move over to the gimmicky side for me, unless you can reach up and manually adjust them as well. There are times here in the midwest where you might adjust them a couple times on the way home and it would be much quicker to just reach up and move them.

I like the concept of the car, but with all the issues in QC with Tesla I am not sure I would buy one.
