I have not ordered a Tesla nor expect to do so within a couple of years as I prefer to not have to loan money for a car. Also my Insight still has years of life in it while its value isn't that high.
I do want an EV though from now on, so if I had to replace the Insight prematurely I'd buy a used Leaf or Ioniq. But I'd keep saving up for a standard range Model Y.

So say I put $1000 down in 2016 (when Tesla started taking deposits on the lower priced model 3) I would have gotten a delivery date at that point? And seeing as how over 400,000 people did that, and they have delivered a few hundred (granted many people took the upsell), what exactly would be my date considering I was mid pack? Seeing as how it was supposed to be in 2018, they already missed that, and I'm sitting here 3 years+ later and still no car. How much does it cost to rent a car 3 years?
PS Also when everybody was told of a $35,000 Tesla the $7500 credits were forever from expiring, so really customers were thinking (and many news stories also touted) $27,500 or less. Now you are talking!
