You would think that being Christian von Koenigsegg would mean starting the day by deciding whether to exit the garage in a 2016 Koenigsegg Regera or a 2015 Koenigsegg One:1.

He received first Model S in the summer of 2013, and believes it was the first or second delivered in Sweden.
In a recent Q&A, CvK spoke of his first impression of that Model S, and how it inspired him in the creation of the Regera.
