When SRs are finally made available, reservation dates will once again matter since they'll be ~prioritized relative to orders by those without a reservation date. While this phenomenon will be relatively short-lived based on what we've seen this year with Tesla blowing through RWD/AWD/P orders pretty quickly, what may be different in the SR world is that I believe Tesla will limit production of SR vehicles in order to ensure it continues to maximize more profitable builds so that the overall mix of Model 3s produced achieves Tesla's 25+% gross margin objective. Further, I also believe that Tesla will only sell a "$35k Model 3" for a very brief period of time, to fulfill its commitment to do so while quickly raising the price to acknowledge inflation since Elon first made the $35k commitment. If I were Tesla, I would in fact only offer a $35k Model 3 to those who've had reservations on file; there's no need to sell a low/no margin $35k car to someone coming in off the street. So if I am right and Tesla is pretty aggressive about how/who gets a $35k Model 3, you may end up screwed if you are no longer a reservation holder from 2016. For example, Model 3 RWD today is $1700 more expensive than when I bought mine in March 2018. Good luck.
