I can do @oktane one better. I had a demo P90DL AP1 car ordered for exactly one day when Elon made his grand announcement. The sales guy called me the next morning and asked if I wanted to swap for a state-of-the-art AP2 vehicle (for a few cents more) that was going to run circles around my P90DL. I said sure. He said, "Oh, sorry, we can't refund your $1,000 deposit even though the car never left the lot in New Jersey, but I guarantee you it'll be worth it." Added $40K to the price tag, and look where we are.
I'm delighted @Driver Dave loves his adventure. So do I. But it would be so much better if Elon had told the truth. I've been in the software development business for decades. I don't lie to my customers. Nor have I ever felt there was a need to do so just to improve my bottom line. The sad part (for Elon) is I've told this story on our blog to tens of thousands of followers and to literally dozens of friends, many of whom probably would have bought a Tesla by now if we had had a half way decent experience.
