dropping more cash on a car than anything other than my house? no, no, that doesn't bother me. what bothers me is that i'm not getting it until september when i confirmed it last month. HOW DO YOU PEOPLE DEAL WITH THIS.

In the intervening weeks since confirming, I have...
  1. Checked TMC, Electrek, r/teslamotors, twitter, and Teslarati more than the uptime monitors of my systems i support at work. (Hey, at least the monitors are supposed to email me)
  2. Completely re-evaluated how I want to park our two cars at home. (Shared driveway and no garage. Two cars when we have parking space for one. Whomp whomp.) Gravel parking pad or cement? Do I need to build a pergola over it? Should I just suck it up and build a full structure?
  3. Alienated my DS and OA here in Tysons. But, hey, first name basis with a couple of the guys at the Tyco Road store. (Not my fault my office is right down the road.)
  4. Gotten no fewer than eight quotes for the cabling run for the charger.
  5. Named my future futurecar. (Naming a car Invincible is just asking for danger. So it's Frostmourne, both for the color, for my love of the character, and because it has started consuming my soul)
  6. Priced out floor mats, cameras, trunk organizers, and fob pockets. (oh the leather fob pocket is so gorgeous)
  7. Re-evaluated the parking situation again (Oh hey i can just rip out a plant, let the GF back into that spot off the driveway, and then dig out a gravel parking pad in the yard for FM.)
  8. Ordered a sleepy Jolteon to live on the parcel shelf. (Adorable.)
  9. Sold my current car to Carmax. (early, yes, but I've got access to other cars for the time being, and the price was almost exactly what I had left on it.)
Oh, and confirmation was two weeks ago. Delivery in "Early-mid Sept" according to my DS.

what.
