Today is a bittersweet day for me since I took delivery my Model 3 but this will also be my last post on TMC for reasons explained later.
First, trip down memory lane:
Late March 2016
I got in a line at 4am, with a bunch of crazy tesla fanboys like myself!
So I was moderately high up the queue.
Sept 2016
I got impatient, so I ordered a Model X.
So I was bumped up higher up the queue.
Mid-Late 2017
I got impatient again, so I quit my job and joined Tesla.
(I don't really have a good picture for this event so here's my corporate jacket)
So I was further bumped up the queue.
Today 2017
I got my Model 3
Looks better in my garage than the leaf! (No hate for the leaf, loved that car for 3 years.)
A family shot!!
Conclusion
I may have skipped a few details in the timeline but they probably are not important.
So I initially wasn't sure if my delivery today was due to my employment or due to my current owner/line-waiter status, since I ordered my car along with the first batch of non-employee current owners. Regardless, since I am an employee now, I do not ever want to put myself in a situation where I am misconstrued as speaking for Tesla, and so I am going to immediately cease posting on TMC to avoid the slippery-slope. Tesla has been a DREAM JOB for me for a while and I couldn't be happier in my new role.
I did want to do this one last post because TMC is a great community and I've thoroughly enjoyed reading and contributing to the its fans around the world, and wanted to close the loop on this journey to my Model 3 with this last post.
Finally: Model 3 is so fun to drive, I can hardly believe how quick and nimble it is, even with my short time with it. No, there is no HUD. Model X will always be the tank, the family hauler and roadtrip car for me. I love both cars, I love the company, and I will miss TMC, but always know that I'll be working my ass off to continue the mission.
