Tesla unveiled the Model 3 on March 1st. Anyone watch it? (Replay here: https://model3.tesla.com/ ) People are really excited about this car. It already had something like 115,000 reservations before it was even revealed.
I at least waited until after I saw it to reserve mine.
One of my friends reserved his today... I'm going to wait to buy a Tesla until my area is a bit more electric friendly, though. And, you know, I have a place to plug it in at home.
Years ago, I told myself my first car would be electric. Then a family member gifted me a gas one for college.
So I told myself the first car I BOUGHT would be electric. Then I really needed a different car, but didn't have the money to buy an expensive EV, so I bought a cheap, used gas car.
So for the past few years I've been telling myself the first NEW car I buy will be electric. I also wanted my current car to last about 10 years. It's a 2007. Model 3 comes out in 2017. The timing was right, and I'd already started saving for a down payment in two years. I finally feel like I can stop compromising my values, so I took the plunge. (Plus, the reservation money is refundable, so I'd say it is pretty low risk if something happens to my job or health or whatever in the near future.)
On top of that, I think Tesla has done a great job of pushing the whole industry forward in the electric vehicle arena. I just wanted to support/reward them in a real way. Seems I'm not the only one.
