Why Are You Cancelling Your Reservation?

[CTreast]

The hive mind here is pretty disappointing. I certainly wasn't jazzed up last night - I'm not canceling but I'm not jumping for joy about the car I "want" (not need) is going to be into the 50's.

The difference of opinions regarding the options and perceived value might be driven by household income but no one here is respectful to that. I knew the majority of the posts here were going to be taking a *sugar* on OP. There are people that are in fact disappointed; It's not that their expectations were too high but like I said, perceived value.

True. I want a smaller car with the 4 second acceleration I have now. That would be a ton of fun, just like the Audi S4 we sold yesterday for the P85D. I would give up quite a few creature comforts for that. So I still hope there will be PxD Model 3 in the works.

Aha! You need a roadster! Just bought mine, oh what a great car. Talk about fun, 3.7 sec 0-60, removable top, most beutiful production electric sports car on the planet......

I think the "Sugar" is coming from folks who have followed TSLA long enough to know:

• Just because Elon says something on twitter, doesn't mean it's going to happen.
• Spec sheets for Tesla models are subject to change rapidly, frequently, and without notice.
• You can't always get what you want. But you might just get what you need.
• If you don't like the configurations offered, wait two weeks.

Cancelling a reservation now would be a huge mistake unless you absolutely need the $$ back. There could be a huge number of changes between now and the end of the year. This is not a traditional car company. Don't try to assess them that way.

The interior is cheap and charging speed is lowered. This is the reason I will be cancelling.
But I will be canceling g as late as possible just in caseTesla improves the car.

You have been cancelling for months now. The evidence is all over your many posts.

Hit the button already.

Quoting just part of my post?

Go to the Not cancelling thread, your input here is meaningless.

Hmmm

Telling people on threads you started, how they should respond to threads you started.

Good luck with that

And sending people to the other threads you ALSO started with a snarky first post clearly showing your contempt for those who disagree.

Well, I'm out. With CPO Model S at a lower price, with a better battery/drivetrain warranty, far better equipped, faster charging, etc., the Model 3 just doesn't make financial sense.

 

[TexasEV]

You're supposed to be on the other thread, ..." Not Cancelling ..."

No, because I don't have a reservation to cancel (I'm happy with my S). I was replying to you, the OP.

When I go to a $12 buffet, I'm thrilled when I can find 2-3 really good things I like to eat.

When I go to the $58 Bacchanal Buffet, I *expect* 10+ good things I like to eat.

Post may or not be related to Model 3 and setting appropriate expectations.

What's the point of having a reservation for something that will not be available for a year and a half? By then I'll be able to pick one from inventory.

Just did. From the slow response of the web site must have been pretty busy.

You wanted something that accelerates faster, charges faster, has more range than a Model S with AWD, and you want it this year and you want it cheaper?

You are like one of those Yelpers that go to a $10 buffet and trash on the service and food quality.

Anyone can bring up a problem, but it takes a person of value to present a solution.

For example:

Ok - everyone. Model 3 is awful. Here is the alternative. More range, less price, AWD, equivilent level 2 autonomy as Tesla and also nationwide super charging network.

I'm waiting for the 'solution' to the Model 3 problem.

You know that people can buy ICE cars too. If model 3 is not good, people can buy ice.

Find me an exciting ICE in the same price range with equivalent level 2 semi-autonomy?

Who cares about autonomy? I don't. If you say safety then the German cars like c class has the same safety. The only advantage Model 3 has over ICE alternatives, is torque. Interiors, range, re fueling speed, build quality etc ICE will be better.

To each his/her own.

The reviews by the magazines are pretty awesome, so at least some people like the car.

Not cancelling mine.

 

[Garlan Garner]

I haven't read the entire thread yet.

Have 499K people cancelled yet? That would mean I'm next to receive mine.
