I'm very excited for mine to arrive in the next 90 days. I know I will be an early adopter in the EV world but I look at it as less of a splurge and more of an investment that could move the industry forward. This will be my fifth car owned and I am tired of two faced dealers, incremental improvements, design without vision and an industry that can but won't improve because of the lucrative parts & service aftermarket. Radio and television is littered with people giving away cars with 0% financing (baking in the profit elsewhere I suspect). It's only a matter of time before we have to bail the auto makers out again.

I'm putting my money into Tesla because I believe that if they can make it to the Model E (Bluestar - $30-40k sedan) then we'll have a whole new ballgame on our hands in the automotive space. The Model S is the testing ground for volume manufacturing, the Model X will test platform re-use, then we reach the Model E which will drive down costs.

In the mean time I encourage you all to test drive one - even if you are not going to purchase - it's quite the experience. The Tesla stores around North America are now getting their in-store models for test drives. With leasing opening up next summer (rumour has it) it should also make it a tad more accessible to the general public.
