Sooooo envious!!!

Did this one have the new transmission?

It's one of the first hundred, if that answers the question. How do I know if the transmission is the new kind?

The new 1.5 transmission allows better performance than the first ones they'd been using. The gen 1 transmissions fall apart after a few thousand hours.

So how do I know which is which? The owner picked it up late last week, so maybe it's the new one.

They had a voluntary recall to replace the transmission. It seems it was draining charge while "off", and it had some problems with acceleration/deceleration (although I don't know the specifics of that bit).
