I was on the Tesla 3 waiting list many years ago. When I hit the top of the list I wasn't totally ready to buy it just yet so I stalled. Eventually I got moved to the Tesla Y list and again waited while family things sorted out. In the end, I got my reservation money back and I'm very very very glad that I didn't buy:

A new car for no real reason (I drove my 2004 Subaru for another 10 years or so)
A car product that's turning out to be of terrible longevity
From a Nazi

Drove the 2004 Subaru until we sold it and moved to a country where we don't need a car at all. Much better way of life.

I haven't heard about the terrible longevity. They even top the consumer reports list for EVs. What sorts of longevity issues are there?
