I sold my old Mercedes C class in 2017 and had a Model 3 on reserve for 3 years, but eventually gave up after finding out about the Model Y (SUV). I'm now waiting on the 'Buy it Now' button to appear on the Aussie Tesla web page. In the interim I bought some TSLA shares with the Mercedes money, which will now pay for the Model Y. I'm now riding an e-bike until the Tesla arrives. I also have 6.4kW of solar panels, and a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery.
