Haha! As I've said before, I've obviously been aware of Tesla for years, but never seriously considered buying one because of the low benefit-to-cost ratio and because I've historically chased brands with high reliability and resale value (Honda has been my preferred brand for the last 15 years) and Tesla has a poor reputation for fit, finish, and reliability.
I've always been a technology geek and have a fondness for products that are largely defined by software. After I became aware of Tesla's price cuts and the tax credit, I felt that now was a good time to jump on one and see what it's like to actually own an EV. I may not like it and that's okay - I still have a Miata that I adore and I have no problem swapping the Tesla for another gasoline-powered vehicle. I suspect, however, that once I get a taste of EV convenience, torque, smoothness, quietness, low "fuel" cost, and no more oil changes or weekly trips to the gas station, I'll be hooked.
Sooo... I'm still holding out hope that the Model Y arrives before the $7,500 tax credit fades away - there's no point in surrendering my $250 "player's fee" until it's over.
