I do have a regret, though not because I would have chosen a different configuration. The configuration I chose (should be in my signature) was just fine. I chose it partly because where I ran every day a guy was parking his red Model 3 outside his house, and I loved the color every day when I ran by, for many months. I chose the white inside because I read a convincing article by a journalist who had recently purchased a red Model 3 with a white interior. I had /still have no coherent idea of what wheel size does so I just left it alone At 18”.
So what’s wrong, what do I regret? I regret that it took me 6 weeks to get the car. It would have taken 4 weeks more (at least) if I hadn’t used the Discord server to find an identical configuration that was already in inventory in Southern California. The way I look at it now, though, is that I should have gotten on the Discord server from the very start, and used it to order an already-in-inventory car right off the bat, and therefore probably would have had my new car within a week.
In other words, even though I got the configuration I wanted, in retrospect I really think I would have been just as pleased with any of the colors or either of the interiors. Those things just aren’t that important to me. I already knew the biggest reason why I wanted the car in the first place; because I spent a number of years driving an electric motorcycle to work and around town, and it is that freedom feeling of getting floated along the road by the batteries that really make EV’s attractive to me. None of the Tesla colors are ugly, none of them would rob me of that feeling.
So my regret is that I went 8 or 9 weeks longer than I needed to without a Model 3 to drive, whatever color it was…
