SSS (Spousal S Sneakiness): A condition you suffer from indirectly where your spouse makes continual (valid!) excuses as to why he/she needs the Model S today much more than you do.
MSUAD (Model S Upgrade Anxiety Disorder): Condition where a reservation holder fulfills a seemly unavoidable prophecy by rationalizing themselves from one battery pack and set of options up to a bigger pack and fully loaded version. Closely related to TPAS (Tesla Performance Anxiety Syndrome).
TPAS (Tesla Performance Anxiety Syndrome): Condition where after talking themselves up to the biggest battery pack, they are anxious that they will be kicking themselves for not getting the performance model after they take delivery and decide to play it safe and get the Performance model 'just in case'

Hi Dave I have another definition for MSUAD (Model S Upgrade Anxiety Disorder): Condition where an enthusiast is waiting for the wished options to be implemented on Model S and suffering a lot of anxiety while waiting
Maybe we could call your definition Reservation Holders MSUAD and mine Enthusiasts MSUAD

It's about THIS car.
SAS(Spousal Admonition Syndrome): A condition where your spouse tells you to stop telling everyone (including complete strangers) about the car that you wont even have until August because it's a little obnoxious.
Yeah MSUAD got me in for another $25,000. But I am getting my car around new years, instead of March April.

TDFR Tesla Distorted Financial Reality
I had a bout of this while I was at a neighborhood x-mas party last night and somehow (the aforementioned SAS precursor kicked in) the conversation came around to cars and I waxed poetically about my upcoming car delivery in Fremont before New Years! Most specifically, I was going on about how much money I am going to save on gasoline (TDFR) and what a great investment this car is (TDFR.) One of the guys says he has heard of the Model S and the gasoline savings sound incredible, then in sequence, "so if you don't mind me asking, how much are you paying for yours?" then me, "mmm.... that's a tough question to answer because of the rebates and tax credits and all which are quite generous," then him, "wow, even better, how much are those?" then me, "$10,000!" him, "nice, so how much is the car before rebates?" me thinking (why didn't I take my medication for SAS before coming to this party) and answering "$96,000 but, I get to drive in the HOV lanes for the next two years, think what the time savings are worth (TDFR kicking in to high gear)
Him- "so basically 4 of my Honda Accord's?" and me thinking (you better hope this TDFR isn't contagious because I used to be good at math as well....)

It's about THIS car.
This is good. It's really funny. It made me laugh a lot.
Thanks. I'm glad. Or, as we say in Indiana: "Preciate Ya!"

PTSD -- Pre-Tesla Stress Disorder. You get it as soon as you place your order. It only disappears when you finally get behind the steering wheel of your Model S and you get the Tesla Grin.
