Longtime lurker. Put in my Model Y reservation the week it was announced. Perhaps my name will come up soon.
But 3 million people just filed for unemployment nationwide this past week with the coronavirus disaster. The country is moving into recession if not depression. People are stockpiling toilet paper and beans. Just doesn't seem like a great time to spend $50,000+ unecessarily. Yet post after post goes up at TMC reporting, "just got my Model 3!" or "my Model Y just arrived!" Many are thrilled, some posts complain about build quality, and more. But I'm just wondering how are folks reasoning their way through spending a large amount of money at this time?
I'm not saying choices are right or wrong. Just wondering how people are thinking through pros and cons.
