I wonder how many of the people that reserved today know how many people there are ahead of them in line... At this pace there will be another 270k by year’s end. Anyone think it will reach 7 figures?

I’ll be curious when all is said and done to see how many of the reservations actually follow through and get the car

At least 50k (10%) have gotten a refund - I expect many more will follow.

There are so many parallels between Tesla and Tucker.

Crazy. Most people I know won’t even wait 6 weeks to get the color of car they want. They just take another color that’s on the lot.

If I’m doing my math right that means Tesla has raised almost half a billion dollars??

Although, there’s a few other things:
Ordering is hugely discouraged by dealers, and means forfeiting basically any leverage on the pricing.
Tesla appeals to techy types that are used to preordering items.
This is still a rather small segment of the car market.
