We are in the same boat, @avesraggiana! Our car became available for pickup on Thursday, but my partner's work schedule prevented us from picking it up until Saturday. I admit I resented him a little bit for this
But once I accepted that we cannot possibly move pickup day forward, I became surprisingly calm. There's no more uncertainties about the car --- has it been assigned a VIN? Has it entered production? Has it been completed? Can we start the payment process? Have they received the payment? When will the pickup be scheduled? All these uncertainties are gone. No more moving pieces. No angst. I can finally relax and savour this happiness of becoming a Tesla owner. Just pure, joyful anticipation.
My partner said this act of detachment is just my self-protection mechanism working to keep my sanity. He's probably right. I probably won't be able to function normally if I don't try to find some meaning out of this wait.
I am feeling excited for your big reveal day as well!
The crazy-making we impose on ourselves is just, well, crazy, isn’t it? Hahaha! But it’s a happy craziness, the delicious agony of not knowing when you’ll get what you really, really want. But now it’s here, and even though we haven’t yet taken our first drive in our brand new babies, we intuit that from now on, our driving lives will never be the same. And that’s exciting! And so much fun!
Enjoy yourselves tomorrow, @tiggerlily, and wave when you see another Tesla. It just might be me, in my blue Model S!
