this is though - the single biggest market is right here, in their back yard. Why would they send early cars thousands of miles away?
It makes no sense.
However, shipping early cars to people crazy enough to stand in line to pre order a car they have never seen before is another thing.
The $7500 tax credit can be a big deal, for Tesla it could mean an extra 7500 in options they wouldn't get.
So delivering early cars only to stateside customers for the six months after breaking 200K USA cars is a really huge deal.
Chances of any early cars leaving US are really, really slim.
