Some regrets - 90D would have been ideal for me. But then I got to drive a great car for the last 7 months. When my lease expires in couple years I will go to the max battery pack available and the plain D.
I think this is what sums it up in general with regards to Model S. For all it's problems and promises, if you would have waited, you wouldn't have gotten to enjoy Model S for XXX number of days/months. As consumers in general, not specific to Tesla, you need to realize that what you are paying for is a product as it is right now. Any promises of future whatevers should not be factored into your decision as a rational consumer, therefore you can't be dissapointed/cheated when those either don't come to fruition or come very very late.
Regarding Tesla specifically, I maintain still that they are not ill-intentioned. But if they announce something, I multiply their time-table by three and their performance claims I dismiss until certain users on here verify them independently (dyno, vbox, track, multiple range tests, REST, etc). Tesla still holds all the cards and the facts/specs locked within Corporate. At the end of the day, we can only get 90% of the story even with all the tool tools at our disposal and an active community with a vested interest.
