I reserved on 04/01/2016 and I am still holding my reservation, but not with the same enthusiasm. I love Tesla and Elon and I hope they succeed, but as I consumer I see the $35k as the equivalent of a click bait. It was the “click bait of the decade”.
If I don’t get tired and get a refund, I’ll probably purchase the $49k version. But boy, is it frustrating to see Canadians that placed orders long after me receiving their cars. I understand the reasons, but still.
- rich-and-poor 8y agoEveryone wants the future cheaper, faster, and without any compromise, even if there is only a single whipping boy (Elon) to bring it to him
- goshx 8y agoI just want the future without the wrong expectations set. Everybody who reserved knew they’d have to wait. That was and still is the compromise. If at least you could tell me any other situation where people compromised this much for something they believed and wanted.
- gowld 8y agoThe $35K Model 3 is only one year late. Enough to deeply cut into its leads over the cars that have been increasing performance in the existing $35K price-classes (Chevy, Nissan) to meet in the middle, and with an $8K/ wibble-wobble over the "will you get a tax credit or not", but overall it's not a "never going to happen". Also depends on whether you were mentally taking a $7500 discount for the tax credit that might expire before you can use it.
