Now if they would only deliver mine, 100 days and counting since I ordered it. Price has gone up $5K since I ordered (I'm locked in but can't change anything)... Estimated delivery window: 1/6/22-2/3/22

Model X takes one and half years if you place your order today, so I consider you lucky.

Could be worse. My buddy ordered a basic trim Jeep Wrangler. Was supposed to get it in September then didn’t hear anything. 2 weeks ago he went to the dealership to find out his order was cancelled by the factory and had to fight his way up 3 levels of managers until they told him and gave him his money back for the deposit.

Insanity.

I feel truly lucky to have bought a car in Oct 2020. I dream of selling it for that sweet above-what-I-paid price point... but these stories help sober me up

Odd question: would you need to report (and pay tax on) the capital gains if you did sell the car for more than you paid for after buying it 12 months prior?

In general for something like this, I'd want the "highest" accolade to also be the most common, but that's just me

You'd want automobile safety standards to be set such that the majority of new cars are able to achieve the highest rating? Why?
