Did anyone here buy one? Please come here and brag and tell us your thoughts on your non-existent transmission.

When the final transmission is ready, we will retrofit all cars, at Tesla's expense, to meet the promised performance specifications.

For what those things cost I'd expect more than that.

What more would you expect?

As it stands they are selling a promise that someday things will be better than they are. Since that's not something you can easily exchange for actual value, I think a more fair arrangement would be for them to sell the initial inferior product at a discount and charge separately for the retrofit when it becomes available.

A free cheeseburger would be nice...
