Canceled mine, reason? Ordered MX!
Never in our wildest dreams We could have afforded a Model X. This was, however, a bitter sweet moment. My father-in-law passed away in January. This man was incredibly frugal, never showed interest in his grand children, never a small present for birthdays just a birthday card. Alway complaining about money and that everything is so expensive etc. Because of that he has never been a real granddad for our children. Then he passed away. My wife is only heir and we found out he had tons of cash on his checking account and I mean tons!
Of the inheritance we could easily buy a loaded MX cash now! To be honest, I was incredibly pissed. Why did he do as he did? Why couldn't he be more of a grandfather to our children (the only two he had), take them for a vacation to Disneyland or at least send them a present for their birthday? In all honesty I would have preferred that over a Model X any day of the week!
Another gesture that he could have done was to give (part of) the money to my wife when my father-in-law was still alive. At least he could hear a "thank you"....
A couple of months later we overcome the anger. We were looking at a CPO first. Then we test drove a new one and the sales guy made a proposal. We hesitated. We knew it would be a lot of money but seeing it on paper we still chocked. He then came back with an inventory car, which was little cheaper. The thing was that we had to decide right there and then (this due to being end of quarter) We couldn't as the funds were not cleared with the bank. That would take another three weeks. Coming home we decided to go for a brand new one just the way we like it. There was a $3000 discount on the inventory car. Our configuration in Canada amounts to $180K + so we thought the $3K on that amount is less than 2%, so we might as well get the one we like. We decided on a 100D, pearl white with everything on it except towing, extra charger and self driving capabilities. Interior is white too! Delivery in May and we are now super excited!
Since Elon mentioned that Model 3 is a smaller version of Model S we decided that to cancel that one. The Model S is too low for me. I have back issues and getting in and out of the car is too much hassle.
Besides, being an MX owner then, we could be in front of the line if it so happen that we change our mind!
