Well, two years, 24 months or 730 days with more to come is a long time to wait for any car. Whichever way you look at it such a wait and having given Tesla £1,000 back in 31st March 2016 for the privilege would test anyone’s patience.

In fairness Tesla always said it was going to be a long wait to see a Model 3 delivered. Having reserved a right hand drive model, I knew I’d be at the end of the queue, but I certainly believed the mid 2018 timeframe mentioned was achievable.

Why, I hear you ask after Tesla has never met any deadlines with the Model S or X would the Model 3 be any different? My reply would be ‘belief’. I believe in the mission Tesla are working towards to rid the world of the need of fossil fuels and move towards a sustainable future.

Front and center of this is Elon Musk, a self-made billionaire and visionary who questions the status quo and who has changed online finance, transportation, solar and space exploration. One of the founders and face of Tesla and master of the Tweet.
