How Early is too Early to get the Y

[rxlawdude]

Good to hear that they wanted to get feedback from you regarding those issues. It really seems like Elon made good on his promise to improve the cosmetic issues; my P3D- had the fewest factory defects I've ever seen on any new car I've purchased. On my car, there were two very small paint problems, both in areas that aren't easily seen. They carefully documented them in case I ever wanted them fixed.

Unfortunately, the very helpful guy that I worked with is no longer with the company.

We are waiting for the Cybertruck for our second Tesla. We will be paying cash for it, so we're stashing money away every month from now until delivery day. It's funny how deep Tesla runs in our family. I've always been a car guy, but my son and wife couldn't care less. My daughter, OTOH, is a car nut like her old man. Yet Tesla is just such an exciting company with such exciting products that even my wife and son have become Tesla fans. Every member of my family is saving a portion of their income every month to help pay for the truck. I'm just amazed that my two kids are so enthralled with Tesla that they're actually saving money toward the goal of paying for the new truck.

Love your avatar pic... that's a very nice stable you have going there.

And just in case there's any doubt... my first post in response to your "why is it incredible?" question was dripping with sarcasm pointed at... well, I'm sure that is easily figured out.

Tesla has a proven record of taking product quality issues very seriously, fixing them as quickly as possible in the production line, and helping owners resolve issues on delivered vehicles as quickly as they can.

If I was getting a Model Y on launch day, I would not be losing any sleep over whether or not the car would have first-run issues, at all. My crystal ball says that first-run issues with the new model will be few and far between, and the few cars that do have issues will be fixed by Tesla quickly.

Do you have an expected delivery date yet, by chance?

No delivery day yet, but I think they don't start "officially" releasing the MY till March. If it follows the M3 pattern, first dibs go to Tesla employees, then "the List" in some unknown sequence.

Our MY is fully paid for by TSLA stock (locked in gains). I'm thinking about getting an S instead, but with a redesign likely and the high depreciation rate of expensive cars, I'm keeping MY powder dry.
