Just took delivery today too. Ordered 11/1/16. Delivered to the dealer on 2/6/17. It took forever to get here, but it finally arrived. I can't even drive the darn thing. Wife had to drive home from the dealer. I'm still recovering from surgery. Haven't had a chance to do much. Explored the menus and checked her over for defects. Everything looks to be in tiptop shape so far. Tomorrow is the day of exploration.

3 hrs at the dealership and off we went. Unbelievable vehicle and so damn sexy looking... It's primarily wife's car but she won't drive it on the first day so I got the pleasure of getting it home from dealership. Drives like a dream, looks like a wet dream (sorry if I offend) and overall rides like a money dream. Of course it was some cheddar to get it so that makes sense. Overall, still learning but super happy so far and quiet as all heck inside the cabin.

I hear ya. The last delivery estimate I had was late Feb/early March. By then I expected to be driving. Had planned on going to the park and taking some nice photos. Then, out of nowhere my salesman called and said the car was on the delivery truck with an ETA within 72 hrs. I promise some nice pics as soon as I'm physically able.
