Yes, the X was not "ready" when it was released. It was I believe 2 years behind schedule and packed with too much new technology and I think investors were getting antsy, so more or less did a "soft-launch". Tesla won't admit that (although Elon did admit that his hubris got in the way on the X) but it really took another 6 months before any real production volumes were made and mostly issue free. Even today, there are few niggling issues here and there.I am so glad that someone started a "positive" thread.
I've been a daily reader since I placed my deposit in April. There are so many threads on this forum that are negative: crash test, insurance cost; fit, finish, interior materials, dash instruments, service and on and on. I know it is human nature to point out the faults, but it is wearing to read all of the problems. I'd like to read more from the happy owners.
That said, however, I've noticed there is a disproportional number of complaints that focus on the X. Was the X not ready for prime time when released? I did not know there was a Roadster and an X until I started reading this forum.
I really wish there was a forum dedicated solely to the Model 3. While I find some value in reading about the S and the X ... it is the 3 that I am mostly interested in.
One last wish .... I wish that Musk (or Tesla) would spend more time improving the S, the X and the 3 before launching the Y and the truck. I'm imagining that many more owners and potential owners of Tesla automobiles .... would sustain that wish.
Check out Tesla Model 3 Owners Club. That is the place you seek.
