I've been a serial test-driver for years, all the way up until COVID made it harder. Even then, I managed to get a full-day test drive from Tesla on a Model Y Performance last fall (mostly to satisfy my SO's interest in it...which waned significantly after we spent a day with it).
Yet I haven't test-driven EITHER of my M's before buying them. The M2C didn't exist to test drive when mine was delivered (and by then it was basically too late, I was locked in), and with the M3, it was an HEA car, they weren't allowing test drives, and I basically had a very short time to decide if I wanted to proceed. Their only other HEA car already belonged to another buyer.
It's such a leap of faith, and it doesn't make me terribly comfortable. That being said, with most performance cars I don't feel that a quick test drive really gives you enough information to understand the car.
