Well, it was one year ago tomorrow, we were in the very first batch of cars sold to NON-Tesla owners, we Model 3 owners have never had a Teslaversary before, so I have to imagine there are going to be a LOT of these coming up.
For those who have already gone, did you do something special to mark that day?
I got my car Rosebud in concert with a Tesla fanatic friend who suggested we wait in line together because as an Apple employee I understood waiting overnight outside a store to get first place in line for a new product. I didn't really think about buying one myself, just supporting him. But as we got closer to the day and my Tesla stock kept going up in price I decided to support Tesla by putting down $1000 for a reservation, which turned into $2000 for two just to hedge my bet. That night I was very happy with the reveal and the following not quite two years gave me time to decide I needed a new new electric car. I already had 5 other cars, plus three electric vehicles, that's what took all the time.
In the first 10 months I had the Tesla, I had not put another drop of fuel into those other cars. When I first went to use one I discovered that ALL of them had dead batteries. Although I have driven each of them and they are all on a rotating charge regimen now I don't really use them. My insurance agent told me when I got the Tesla I cannot insure another car with him, so I will have to sell one if want to buy anything else.
But the question is what to do to mark the occasion ~28,000 miles and 135 distinct Supercharger locations later?
