Hopefully, the following doesn't portend the actual wait for the Model 3 for any of us./QUOTE]
Call me a rose-colored-glasses Tesla newb, but I'm thinking they're going to be hatching the 3 on schedule or damn close to it. I recall hearing multiple times in interviews and presentations that this one's all about ease of production. And after the never ending Model X gestation I don't think they want a repeat. Especially with 10 or 20 times the initial number of customers on the hook.
Oops, I'm starting to sound serious here, and this thread's supposed to be all about the fun.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled countdown
