All,
I just started the process of my very first Tesla order, and it happens to be Ultra Red. I am a traditional gearhead with a 1936 Chrysler Airstream Convertible Coupe, a 2014 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited Hard Rock, a 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, and past cars (just a few of the many) consisting of a 2003 Porsche 911 Turbo (my favorite car… EVER), a 1966 GTO Convertible, many Volkswagens (all air cooled) and a handful of Corvair convertibles. As an electrical engineer and professor, I am a dyed-in-the-wool technology geek and am looking forward to melding my love of cars and technology into a single vehicle.
I have watched close to two dozen YouTube videos on Tesla, am of course, familiar with Elon Musk (I worked for NASA in a past life and currently use StarLink as my rural Internet provider). After all I have read, seen, and heard, I am most concerned about Tesla quality issues. With any luck, the lack of quality control issues are both overblown and mostly past… I guess I will find out.
My order is showing a March 2023 delivery, which I cannot help but feel is optimistic, but I can wait.
I have attached my configuration for reference.
Best,
Joe
