I think you mean 3750 reasons since the second batch gets 3750 less than 7500.

There are different ideas of where to divide the batches.
There used to be Founders vs Signature vs production
There have been details like pre folding mirrors vs post folding mirrors
There are separations like US before Canada before Europe before China that have happened in the past.
Pre Dual motor / Autopilot vs Dual Motor with Autopilot.
There isn't an official batch number or separation and every one will continue talking past each other no matter what you say.

I think the general thought its initially anyway, they will batch by larger battery size/P versions, then non P large battery sizes, etc. But with the huge number of orders now, and the likelihood they will have multiple lines at the start of ramp, who knows....

All the speculation, interpretation, and analysis in the world, is not going the change the fact, that, If you don't reserve, you can't conserve. Not to mention, getting to run around in your beautiful new Tesla, at the earliest possible time!!!

You don't get a number to where you are in line but you will be issued a reservation number. Pull the trigger and join the family.

Red Menace may hurt me
If I were getting even 5% I might hesitate. This refundable deposit buys a rare opportunity. I now "pretend" I am an owner!
I'm with you! I feel like I entered a super fun lottery where we all win, but don't know when.0☺♥☺♥
no...i did say FIRST batch, not second batch. i think we're all reasonably sure that at least some of the model 3s will get the full credit if not a large number of them...hence wanting to be in the first batch.

Right you want to be in the first batch which is 7500, if you miss that by one car and are in the 3750 you only miss out on 3750 so you only have 3750 reasons if you see my point.
Well you wouldn't miss it by one car you would miss it by one day. (Since the expiration is time based once Tesla reaches their 200,000th US car delivery.)

True, it's a better wording to say by one day but which day matters, is it day of delivery? Day of confirmation? Day of payment?
If day of delivery a single car ahead of you could push you back a day because your delivery specialist is booked up.
It's all those what ifs bouncing around my head that allow me to sometimes change that one word to the what if I'm thinking about instead of just sticking to the wording of the rule.
Hi, I've just placed my reservation yesterday, April 21th. But I live in a Bay Area, and I am prepared to wait! Just wondering how it works, if they say the will start deliver from west coast, so does it mean I will potentially get a car sooner that someone from east coast who were standing in line or ordered online at the first day?
Last I knew the cars were delivered in batches - west coast current owners, then west coast new, central current, central new, etc. Basically trying to save on delivery costs by moving the deliveries in waves.
However, the approach doesn't say how big each batch will be. Maybe 10K, maybe 20K, maybe 2K. Deliveries around the Bay Area will likely happen as soon as they can, without jumping the line tooo much. (is 100K too much? don't know)
It does seem unlikely you'd jump the line by 300K though. If I was you, I'd figure on getting the car (based on current estimates) about mid-late 2018. And after saying that, I think that might be optimistic. We've no idea how fast they'll be able to build these. Could be 100K per quarter, could be only 100K per year.

i see what you're saying, but i didn't say first vs second...i said first batch. it's entirely possible depending how low you are on the list you could miss all the credits altogether...nobody knows.
