I'm 74 and proud of it. At an early (2015) customer appreciation day in Columbus, OH I noticed that the crowd (30 people or so) was split between 60+ year olds and early 30s with no one in between. I suspect that demographic split is now significantly different with the introduction of the 3 & Y.I notice you state that you’re old. I was wondering of all of us that have ordered LR or Plaid’s how many of us are over 60 or 70 years old. I’ll understand if no one responds.
Actually the battery architecture is different. Same cell type (18650) but very different pack setup for much better cooling.
Turning 70 in September, Hope to have my first Tesla (ordered December 5, 2020) before then.I notice you state that you’re old. I was wondering of all of us that have ordered LR or Plaid’s how many of us are over 60 or 70 years old. I’ll understand if no one responds.
Who cares? It’s easy to say if you have a car to drive in the meantime. Some of us actually believed we would get a car from Tesla in March and relied on that false information. I sold my 2016.5 P90DL a few weeks ago thinking the arrival of my new car was imminent. If I still had my Model S I could also say - “who cares?”
A stereo isn't 100k and isn't life impacting like transportation. Also, that's not a product that took money in order to reserve. I'm not in here complaining that jolly rancher hasn't communicated the delay on their new flavor. People are complaining that their lives are being significantly impacted, sometimes to the tune of thousands of dollars, when I simple "Gonna be a month or 2 more" tweet would fix that and enable people to make decisions.
I'm 75. I ordered Plaid+ because I've been addicted to quick and fast cars and other transport devices all my life. Except in Germany I rarely drive hard enough to justify them (although there its nothing to match a very cold day taking a LR-25 from ground to FL410 in less than seven minutes). Frankly the range is the biggest + factor for me.I notice you state that you’re old. I was wondering of all of us that have ordered LR or Plaid’s how many of us are over 60 or 70 years old.

Hey...stop that...all the people here saying we are being overzealous with our comments about the delays and further spouting "It's Elon you know he never actually means / believes what he says.....Just be patient...."
with your reminder....This is because of a lack of empathy. Some of us can afford to wait a bit longer and some much longer. However there is a population that have planned their lives around a March delivery and with no communication from the mothership they are left hanging. I can't upvote what Sam said above enough. We can't say Tesla is a major disruptor who continue to challenge the conventions and yet compare them to other businesses whenever it's convenient to do so. Wrong is wrong no matter how many others are caught doing it.
Ha! My wife is excited to drive that Transit.....I know what I’m driving! We used to be able to fit all 7 of us in our 2017 S90D with jump seats....The Cybervan can’t come soon enough!Who's stuck driving the van and who is lucky enough to drive the Tesla? I don’t think that would work in my house… then again I’m single so I don’t have this problem
I am one of the people who are significantly impacted financially (and convenience-wise) due to the lack of communication from Tesla, and the dishonest/unkept-promises on delivery dates, with a carrot hanging in front of me. I sold my car in December when I had to move a new city, and placed an order for a Model S. When I placed this order, the website (and store reps) told me delivery time of 4 weeks. So, I got a rental car as a stop-gap solution. This car wasn't delivered and the refresh was announced in end-Jan with a promise of it being delivered in Feb or March. The store reps kept relaying the same promise with the timelines of Feb/March. This led me to keep exchanging/extending my car rental by a few weeks to upto a month each time, in anticipation of timing my rental duration to match with my delivery date. I'm out of several thousand $ and spent time on 5+ trips to the rental agency for exchanges. I'm annoyed that had Tesla been honest with their delivery estimates/promises, I would have been able to plan my transport needs better and not have spent so much money.
