Signature Edition Now Available in Canada
Now this is interesting... Tesla just announced the availability of the Model S Signature Edition in Canada.
Even more interesting:
Apparently we will be required to pay the remainder of the $40k when we lock in our options three months before production. They will also allow you to back out of Signature at that time, and revert back to the regular reservation list.
You can guess what I decided to do...

Now we just have to wait 72 hours to find out our new reservation numbers.
Should be fun to see if I can improve on 10. I responded within 15 minutes, so maybe...

I sent them an e-mail asking if I lose my current spot in the queue if I subsequently change my mind. Haven't heard back yet. I'm probably going to upgrade to sig as well.

From what I understand, 3 months in advance of production they will let us know what the features and options are and convert our reservation agreement into a purchase agreement, and at that time if we choose to revert back to our general production car, we will retain our spots. If we decide to switch when they call back later to confirm our options, then we get stuck at the back of the line. As long as I have a chance to see the price and features ahead of time, I think it's a good opportunity - no risk in upgrading. I was also told that Canadian Model S production will begin roughly 3 months after USA production begins - could be worse.
I'm worried that the oil industry lobbyists will convince our government(s) to regulate silly things on EV's (like mandatory minimum noise requirements), so I'd prefer to get my car sooner than later.

I received clarification on Canadian Signature Series upgrades: if we switch, and then choose later to go back to general production, they will "do their best to fit us back in close to our original number". One major consideration in actual production sequence is what those in spots around you are choosing for options - they will be building them in batches, and he did confirm that 300 mile packs will be done first.
I switched.

I stopped by the main sales office in Menlo Park and asked if we would lose our spot when switching to the Signature Series and was told, yes, the spot is lost! I was surprised as we would be giving them another $35K to hold for another year, the least they could do is let us make the decision after they announce the options and actual price.

I haven't received an email notification yet, but my "My Tesla" page just updated to show "Signature Model S #10".
Either I moved from R10 to S10, or they haven't updated that part yet.

Tesla says they're "still compiling the list of interested customers and should start sending out the confirmations later this week". So you can probably expect your number to change.
