Graduation Post! 
I am very bad with anything related to graduation. I never went to my bachelor's graduation, masters graduation and kind of ghosted this forum as soon as I got my car, lol. Though -- I had spent way too much time here, and not at my work and had to go on an overdrive to get work things back on track. I have an obsessive personality, and cannot wait for things. Waiting for this car took up way too much of my time, but y'all were awesome. Hanging out here, discussing, shooting *sugar*, posting memes and most important sharing very crucial and important information such as matrix lights - was so so helpful -- and after the longest fkin wait -- getting hands on this beast is WELL WORTH IT.Sexy, sexy, sexy piece of machine. It's amazing. The speed blows my mind every time I set foot on the pedal. I cannot go back to the snails anymore. Next car is probably a Lambo or a Ferrari but probably not, because they may not be able to match the tech. My gf, actually fiance (I got engaged the same weekend as I got the car) literally wouldn't let me stop driving around. We drove around seattle for 8 hours. Literally in circles, testing the acceleration, hands free driving, the works. Hell, I made some reels for the first time, making full use of the auto-pilot. Also - it's insanely cheap to fill up as compared to gas! Superchargers cost like 10$ for 20 -> 90%. Home charging is half of that. Most of the places I visit, like work, markets, have free charging. It's insanity that I am getting this super-car like performance for free.
I have a terrible commute, 160 miles one way, and was doing that in my old car, a civic. No features, not even a keyless start lol. And driving through the highway traffic, sometimes late at night, in intense rains, I needed this car. Commute now, is a breeze. Even in intense pouring rain, the auto-pilot drives like a champ. I pick a lane and let this beauty go and it shimmers away in the wake of the magnificent radiance of the matrix reflectors. Audio system is so so so good. God, I have been listening to music non-stop. The cruise control also helps me catch up on important meetings and podcasts without much distraction. I wish they bring subscription FSD to canada. Even though 90% of my drive is in US -- I can't use the US FSD as the car is Canadian.
It is also a very humbling and proud moment for me. Just 6 years back, I was a fresh grad with a first job offer of 100$ a month. Ended up working for a company for 400$ a month. And here I am, just a short while later driving an 80000$ car. Never in my dreams did I think of seeing such a day.
Couple of learnings:
- Buying a Tesla car is a DIY project -- there isn't a negotiation part, but they still may short change you eg Matrix Lights. Gotta be alert and informed.
- Initial EDD is usually the most accurate EDD, there may be ups and downs to this
- Fancier builds do get prioritized but difference isn't by much
- It's a lifestyle change. I was very limited in the options of renting because I only wanted a place with at least a trickle charger in parking. Vancouver area, thankfully has several of these (Craigslist is awesome with "EV" filter) Charging at home helps like crazy -- do prioritize it. But superchargers are awesome as well so dont let home charging hold you back
- SAs are greatat times. I arrived at the decision to buy a Tesla because SAs patiently answered all my questions and they are very knowledgable, some of them at-least. Especially when someone has little to no idea about Tesla as an outsider.
