I received my Model S on Tuesday (Dec 11th 2012). Here is the timeline of events. It took 3 years and 11 steps to bliss but it was totally worth it. The journey was worth every bit. My kids and the geek in me loved the factory tours and drive events. I think many of you took the same journey too.

2. Nearly forgot about Tesla for 2 years
3. 10/1/11: Factory Tour and Ride Event
