Why doesn't the cardinal red have those little black accent boomerang things on the quarter panel? I thought all colors has them?
its still a good looking car though!

Congrats! That S6 looks exactly like mine.... I have the Arras Red interior though. My lease is up in late spring and I am going E63! Any work on the S6? Mine has a "chip" box. Maybe adds about 60hp.......Would have tuned it but I did not want any chance of TD1.

Thats a C63 your looking at in the cardinal red sedan, if you look at my Red E63 Wagon you will see those boomerang things.

I’m still in a state of disbelief. It’s been decades since I waited this long for a vehicle... I pick it up tomorrow... can’t wait...

Congrats! Wondering from your signature - what happened with your Tesla that made it so bad?

DriveAMG

1. Waaay too much money for what it claimed to be...
2. Leaked like a siv... every light was full of moisture, sunroof leaked, trunk was full of water...
3. Service experience was horrible...
4. Centre console screen is very nice for the first 5 min but using it daily became a chore. Most basic of things were buried 3-5 menus deep...
5. For the price it lacked many things that comparable cars had standard like insulated doors, cup holders, vented seats, iPod integration etc...

only good thing is I made money on it when I sold it thank god...

Wow. I haven't prowled Tesla forums but I had no idea these kinds of issues really existed on $100k cars

Finally I took delivery yesterday of my Edition 1! I am so happy with it. Well worth the wait time.

It it is a beast,! I will post picture latter

tony_f8

Canada or USA? If USA east coast or west coast?

Gotic4u

Canada, Montreal.

Posting picture latter today.

Just St wanted to say that even in comfort mode, suspensions are very stiff. I guess because the car is new.

Here are the pictures

I am in US - on west coast and my car arrived today at the dealer. Looking like Monday pickup.

tony_f8

Wow you’ll be the first one! What dealership?

sighting

Yes, it’s suppose to be the first one.

tony_f8

What dealership?

E63guy

There's been an unsold Edition 1 at Danbury, CT for 2 weeks now. So, not the first in the US that could be had.

tony_f8

Hey E63 yes the east coast editon ones got released some time ago. West coast ones have not. And based on this guy never confirming dealership or delivery this is still the case today.

Had the front end wrapped and the paint protected with ceramic pro.

Received mine last week. Driving under 4K rpm for the first 1000 miles is torture!!!! Mine is blacked out, and my Brothers is not.

Here are some photos from the dealership. Got tons of compliments while taking delivery, both from dealership staff and customers. And the director of sales said he thought he'd sell 2 of these next week just based on people seeing this one on the showroom floor.

I haven't driven enough to really give any initial impressions. One cool feature I didn't know about is the wireless charging cubby for Qi-enabled phones in the center console. Otherwise just looking forward to taking this beast out more in the next few days and getting past break-in period as soon as possible!

Interior is black leather with gray piping, metal weave trim. (And yes I had both the dealer sticker and license plate frame removed.)

Nice looking car, especially the color. I went with boring silver!

diablo1

I would have said I was 90% going to go with gray or silver. My salesman brought me around on the red, and I'm happy with it. Although it loses some of its stealth/sleeper charm in this color... It's a great looking machine in any paint! Congrats on yours too!

E63Wsantini

thanks for your reassurance on my color choice but if I could I have been more daring. Were you sold on any other options, such as special car protection programs (wheels and interior), any extended service plan? Are you getting privacy tints installed on your glass?

I got the wheel+tire insurance, seemed worth it since these wheels+tires are expensive and I live in an area with a lot of potholes. Didn't buy anything else. When I bought my Maserati a few years ago they charged me extra for the front license plate holder, which was annoying because front plate is required in my state. Seemed pretty classless for a car like that. Fortunately MB included the plate holder and installation at no charge, along with rubber all-weather floor mats. And I got a cool red and black AMG umbrella, and an AMG keychain made from carbon fiber.
