On the road again?

During the years I worked for Pfizer in midtown Manhattan, I seldom drove. To the best of my recollection I have never driven in Manhattan and never wanted to do so. Still, it was nice to be able to occasionally get into the car and drive to suburban stores.

But primary CNS lymphoma made such an outing pretty much impossible. It is rather ironic that our car is in my name, a requirement for obtaining the handicap license plates for which I was eligible primarily due to my pulmonary condition. But I drove the car only once, taking a very brief drive early on a Sunday morning when we first bought it. I am not sure I even remember how to start the engine!

But my “driving” days may not be over after all. Barry happened to hear a report about Tesla’s efforts to design and manufacture a relatively affordable self-driving car, the Model 3. It seems they are getting close. For me, this may literally be the best thing since sliced bread.

So, we have just put down a deposit to hold our self-driving car. This is really exciting! Let’s just hope all the pieces come together (literally) to make this happen sooner rather than later.  

Love,

Rebecca

Thank You Your reservation is confirmed Model 3 production is scheduled to begin in late 2017. North American deliveries will be first, followed by Europe, Asia and Pacific countries then countries with right-hand drive configurations. Those who own Model S or Model X cars will be offered priority production slots as a special thanks for supporting the Tesla mission.
