Not sure where is the best place to ask this. But im dying to know.
For those of you buying the Model X', or already owning one:
1) what is your line of work?
2) do you put any money down / pay cash?
I've been working 90 hours a week for the last several years. I have a "9-5 career" where I am salaried (senior software engineer) and have a business on the side that I've been growing where we do websites and mobile apps (a few part timers, a fulltimer and myself).
I'm wondering what line of work you're all in and how long you've been in it to be able to afford the Model X. And if you have any suggestions or tips to off. I'm absolutely a huge fan of Tesla, its mission, and Elon Musk.
I am a process automation engineer. Early in my career I wanted to go into robotics but the economy wasn’t good in the 80s, and so the next best thing was automating chemical plants. Most of the people that do what I do are chemical engineers these days. 10 to 15% of us are electrical or electrical computer engineers. I come from the ECC.
I have noticed most of the ECC’s Are obsessed about Tesla, My obsession started at ABB Customer automation world conference. Where I got a glimpse of Audi e-tron, Charging on and ABB Station. Try to get my wife to buy a model three but as a career counselor She was way too Frugal and afraid of technology to consider it. But she understood my obsession. And thought I should get rid of my eco-diesel truck, So I’m sitting here today waiting for delivery of my new model X long range, Very excited
