Model S was special
I remember redesigning the entire battery pack architecture after a test failure and thinking what a long shot it was
Later, seeing my first customer car in the wild I was filled with pride pointing it out to my wife.
We made it into a game where we would spot Model S on road trips and the first to call it out would win. Later turned into a game to see who spotted the most.
At one point we started getting to double digits, we happily retired the game.
Now we've retired production
But I'll keep looking out for Model S
