This gray wrap is beautiful. Can you tell me if you still like it and what was the cost for this wrap?
Also, I wanted to chime in on the tesla experience. I really wanted to like the P85DL, but didn’t like the inconsistent up and down dips when depressing the pedal - Plus the backseats were tiny and no legroom support.

for me the tesla interior is like being in an elevator - it seems so sterile and appliance like and i just can't get past the large tablet screens. they're miserable. i'm a fan of musk and he's ideas and i think the tesla is a great concept, i just can't see choicing the tesla over a panamera for me, at this point. i feel like i'm in something when i sit in the panny - the interior is fantastic and the materials are wonderful. that feeling is lacking in the tesla - feels like a low-buget rental. no one feel that way? that said, the tesla/ev model is the future - and i will gladly go kicking and screaming into it.

I like the Tesla, I just can't get over the fact that I could not just take it out and drive it 300 miles. I don't have the patience for planning trips, and finding stations to charge etc. The Teslas aren't getting 300 miles when youre making long trips at 80mph + - not even close. For a daily short commuter though, and not as your only car, there is a lot of merit to them, and if I had the money... The ICE infrastructure just isn't quite where I am yet, nor do I have the patience to sit around for 30 minutes to charge. I am amazed at how far Tesla has come, and they have really pushed the industry, particularly into that hybrid performance car class, which I think will be a sweet spot for quite a few years while battery tech gets a bit better. I think eventually ICE will solve some of the weight and handling issues as well, they aren't that far behind. They do need some styling updates though. Its not bad just kind of meh.
Personally I don't like the idea of factory updates and rollouts, or having full access to mess with my car....remember Tesla got sued over this. Musk is getting a bit squirrely too, so I hope the rest of the board keeps the innovation rolling, and keeps pushing the auto industry as a whole.
