I am almost 3 weeks without VIN after placing my order, and I have similar thoughts.... But yesterday I checked Chevy Bolt on sale for 33k (and then -$3,750, so less than 30k) … and saying that I was unimpressed is an understatement … the Bolt has MANUAL seats adjustments! I think Chevy intentionally did shitty design decisions so the Bolt can't compete with other Chevy cars.
Then I checked Prius Prime … and it was not in stock, and then I listen to tons of BS how they "can bring it if I want it but they will be glad to sell me some other cars which are basically the same as Prime". So, communicating to sales people sucks no matter where you go...
Then I read this:
The Conspiracy Against Tesla … Is Too Obvious | CleanTechnica
And finally my wife told me that she wants Tesla not because it is electric, but because it combines so many good and new features that no any other single car currently has.
Now, I am just sitting calm and waiting.
Regarding the story from Germany, I don't think Tesla will be unable to sell those cars in Germany... So there is no real loss. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the German guy will soon get a fantastisch offer from BMW, Audi, or Daimler.
