I hope you're embarrassed at how wrong you were.... by getting your car earlier than that.
Which other EV offerings are those? A large part of what pushed me back into a Tesla is that there really ARE no competitors. Everything else that's worth the money is either untouchable for a year or more (Rivian, Ford), or aren't very competitive (Polestar).
The only other EVs I would honestly consider at the moment would be the Mach E GT, which you can't even order at the moment, and the Polestar2 Performance, which is mostly competitive with the M3 LR for a lot more money, and a lot less range. A Lightning or Rivian R1T would be fun, too, but you're not touching one of those before late 2023, if you're lucky. I won't speak to the VW, Audi, Porsche, or Lucid offerings though, as I haven't even looked at those. The iD4 is too slow for me, and the Audi, Porsche, and Lucid offerings are too big - and I'd go Plaid if I was spending that kind of money.
I have a friend who works at a Ford dealership, and ordered a Mach E GT about a week after orders first opened - he still doesn't even have an actual allocation, let alone any sort of date, and they're booking allocations several months in advance on them. He's not likely to know a date until well into 2023, if then.
Anyway, I guess I'm not really sure which comparable EVs you're talking about that are available in around the same timeframe as the M3P, but I can't name a single one you could even get this calendar year.
Appreciate your support. I know there’s many other Veterans here who apppreciate that as well, and I thank my brothers/sisters in arms for their service. Wasn’t trying to turn it into anything…just making fun of myself for being a “grey beard” so to speak. Although I’m Asian and couldn’t grow a beard to save my life.
