Kudos Bonnie, Devina, Jon and Tesla

... still room to appreciate the value of human kindness in a digital world ...

As someone who's mother just passed from cancer, I say "Well Done!" to all involved.

In the big picture, human loves and compassion mean so much more than all the other crap we are involved with. Thank you to those who took the time and effort to display such.

Just lost my last grandfather to cancer last week as well. Wish I had been able to take him for a ride just one last time.

A couple times a year I get reminded about why I believe Elon Musk is the single greatest source of good in the entire world. Perfect example of this on the human level.

Such a beautiful gesture.
Bravo to all involved in making this happen.

This just made my day! Thanks @bonnie and everyone else that made it happen! Not all the hope in humanity is lost just yet

 

[CmdrThor]

This amazes me most:

No one from Tesla looking to publicize, everyone involved with the purest of intentions.

Wow!!

It doesn't amaze me at all. I've experienced multiple instances of above and beyond customer service from Tesla without any ulterior motives.

And how great is that!!

I wish you all could have shared in the experience today. We all were tearing up at different points. Seeing Jon walking along, deep in conversation, carrying the oxygen generator while walking and talking ... everyone throughout Tesla lit up with smiles, it was amazing. (The private tour went so long that we ran the golf cart (non-Tesla) battery dry. hahah. That was awesome.)

Thanks for the kudos - it truly took a village to make this happen the way it did. And my heart is full just to have been a part of it. And I've made a couple of new friends that I'll be visiting in the next month.

Thanks for your initiative and for the efforts of all involved -- terrific outcome.

Brought tears to my eyes; go Tesla! Hoping Jon is as comfortable as possible in these tough times, and enjoying his Model 3 with family!

That was really nice of you and a class act by the Tesla people.

I'm truly sorry that this was your reaction. I was going to say more about the kind of person who would think this (much less think it worthy of posting), but perhaps it's best I end my comment here.

There's always one. Best just to ignore than engage.

The compassion expressed in this effort really is heartwarming, great job.

I'm so happy to see hear that @Graniteds is the first non-employee/owner to receive his Model 3. I hope you put many, many, many miles on it.

We need a Model G!

Awesome story.

Amazing story, I'm glad he was able to get his Model 3 early!

He may want to look at a ketogenic nutrition plan, which I hope can extend his life. More here:

Not to let this get lost in all the feels, kudos to @ryanjm for pinging me, making sure I saw the post, and asking how we might help.

Takes a village

 

[Bearlytiger2]

What a great story, thanks for sharing. It also really makes those "why did so and so get an invite before me" complaints look very silly.

 

[Jonathanm]

Really nice story - brings tears to my eyes... We all relate this to things that have passed by us in our lives where we have/could not have done something similar. This is really win win - why can't we have more of this...?

Good luck to all involved and thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful story.
