i hear ya op. the tesla enthusiasm has waned for me. From the over zealous fan boys (esp at sites like elektrek), to the the delays, to sticker price, its hard to stay excited. Im a line waiter in the bay area...so what makes it a lil worse for people like me is seeing model 3s in the wild.
I realized this was an issue since currently, Instead of day dreaming about my future model 3, I day dream about my EV projects. Instead of investing money for a model 3 purchase, I invest to fund other projects and ventures. Every now and then some sort of model 3 anecdotal story about the driving experience or performance pops up, and I start to get excited again...until I realize that the car is a long ways away for me and they made a lot of what I feel are unnecessary compromises for a very expensive car.
I haven't cancelled yet since there are a lot of good merits to the car, so, like you, I'm playing the "wait and see" game, but there are a lot of EVs coming out that are also exciting. But each day that goes by without having a chance to get the car I want is a day that I drift farther away from the tesla religion.
