I saw the announcement that Tesla plans to open up the Model X design studio to the public at large and have test drive vehicles available sometime around the end of April. I have a 70D on order and noticed that I was slightly (and irrationally) annoyed. Given that, I was curious what other people's reactions were.
To be clear, when I ordered, the clearly stated timeframe was mid to late 2016. By any logical and realistic standard, as long as Tesla gets me an X by December 31st, they have fully lived up to their end of the deal -- no matter what else they are doing in the meantime. I also totally understand the multitude of reasons they are prioritizing 90's. So, my question has no bearing on what is "fair" in any absolute sense.
That said, emotion isn't rational, so was curious what other people's reactions are. Where is the line that triggers a "huh, that doesn't feel fair" reaction for you? For whatever reason, the line for me seems to be having the cars in showrooms and at stores for test drives. ("You can make a car to just sit here, but you can't make the car I confirmed months ago?")
Anyway, I was just curious about other people's reactions...
p.s. To just be doubly clear, I've got no "real" complaint. While I'd love to get it sooner than later, I'm satisfied as long as they do what they said and this does mean more time for Tesla to get the bugs worked out. Just wondering if others have similar reactions and if theirs triggers in the same place as mine.
