When I interviewed the Model S/X Product Manager, I asked how the U.S. purchase of our Model S will work. Here I'll paraphrase what he said before I get a chance to post video of my impromptu interview:
They will also be making a major fast-charging network announcement "sometime this summer". They have been using real-world feedback from Roadster owners to help figure out where to place the charging stations.

- When contacted to finalize, you'll have the one-time option to delay your model S delivery date.
- If you decide not to delay, you will lock-in your Model S or Model S Signature or Performance variant configuration (battery, paint, interior, options, etc.)
- Sign a purchase contract (I didn't ask if this will be wet signature or e-signed online), with an expected delivery date.
- After #3, your $5K or $40K changes from a refundable reservation payment to a non-refundable deposit towards the purchase price of your Model S.
