10 Reasons to Pre-Order a Tesla Model 3

Yesterday morning I pre-ordered my Tesla Model 3.

I was the eleventh person in line after arriving at 5:00 am. By the time I left, there were more than 300 people waiting to be among the first to get their hands on a Model 3.

Later that day I spent an unacceptable amount of time on Twitter, following all the feeds about the Model 3. It's probably the most fun I've ever had stalking Tesla geeks like me. I really enjoyed reading all the reasons people ponied up $1,000 to reserve their new Teslas. And that got me thinking …

Why do so many people want a Model 3?

So here are ten reasons I came up with. Enjoy!

Reason #1

Because they said it cound't be done.

Reason #2

It's an incredibly sweet car!

Reason #3

It's a proverbial middle finger to the oil industry.

Reason #4

It's a proverbial middle finger to every doubter that wished and prayed Tesla would fail.

Reason #5

It'll annoy Sarah Palin.

Reason #6

It may get you laid.

Reason #7

It'll annoy the dealership mafia that doesn't think you should be allowed to buy it without going through them first.

Reason #8

It may screw with all those day traders that get off on shorting Tesla stock.

Reason #9

If Donald Trump becomes president, you can have your Model 3 delivered to your new home in Canada.

Reason #10

Seriously, it's just a really sweet car.
