I'm not upgrading to a P because I don't need/want the performance (DM appears to be as fast or slightly faster than my 340i which is already crazy fast) and I like keeping my money invested.
I set a budget for the "new cheap Tesla" when I put my $1,000 down of about $50,000. That was assumed based on Musk estimating he thought the average car, with options, would run around $45,000.
At $60,000 for my current build (Blue, DM, EAP) I am already way over budget and not willing to pony up another $10,000 to get my car a couple of months sooner.
If the end of the year gets into sight and I don't have a VIN, I will be cancelling my order since I won't be getting the tax credit. As much as I love the Tesla product, I am not going to wait forever. I will just lease another BMW for 3 more years and maybe by the time that lease is up Tesla will have this stuff figured out.
When the "flood gates" opened over a month ago and I was able to finally place my non-refundable deposit, I became excited I would have the car "soon". I did not expect it to turn into another extended wait like this.
Can you tell I'm frustrated?
