It this point, its hard to get excited about anything Tesla says. I'm happy for everyone getting their vins and taking delivery, but I feel like at this point my ability to ever take ownership of a car in a timeframe I find acceptable is unrelated to any plaids or 6 seaters being delivered. Any new tech being offered in cars is irrelevant, because I don't see them delivering my car (5 seater LR) within a timeframe I am going to find acceptable.
Most importantly, Tesla has not fixed their basic problem of lying to customers and withholding information (or failing to put any effort into obtaining and organize information they could clearly get). The silence from Tesla regarding any sort of meaningful status on 5 and 7 seater deliveries is telling, especially given the past year plus. I would love to meet Elon and simply ask him why he thinks any of this is acceptable, and how long should one be expected to wait on an initial 2-3 month promised delivery.
Let my wife drive the Taycan Turbo S yesterday for the first time, in case she ever needed to know how to use it. Her first time driving an electric car, and as we tend to keep our cars 7 years, she was blown by the technology and power. She got all exciting wondering when her X is coming so she could drive it. At which point we had a pretty sincere heart to heart on how much more abuse we put up with from Tesla.
We're waiting for their next screw up, and I suspect that will be our final straw.
I would seriously love to see Tesla publicly commit to 5/7 LR production and provide any sort of timeframe. Thats not who they are and it will never happen. Pathetic.
