Engle - Thanks for the thorough explanation.
How far do you live from the Tesla Factory?
I live 4.9 miles from the Tesla factory according to Google Maps, the closest reservation holder I know of. My home is in the hills to the ESE of the factory at about 600 ft. elevation approx. 2 miles as the bird flies, so I have an excellent view of their property from mine. It's in a 24/7 guarded & gated community called "Avalon" consisting of "Avalon Estates", "Avalon Summit", and custom homes:

There are 275 homes here in the $1.5 to $2.5M price range, and most homeowners drive either Mercedes, BMWs, Lexuses (Lexi?), Porsches & Audi's, etc. Quite a few homes already have solar panels. (We just sold a 4,210 sf home to our buyer that had an expensive 2008 SolarCity lease that I got the seller to buy-out.) After we receive our S later this year, I plan to use it to give test rides and drives to a lot of my friends here to try to drum-up some more sales for TSLA.
BART is building a new South Fremont station that will be only 1.2 miles from the factory, scheduled to open Fall, 2015:

If they do factory delivery, customers will be able to fly into SFO, and BART to the factory to pick-up their new Model S, X or future Bluestar and new Roadster. By then, the Tesla rapid-charging network should be fully-deployed.
P.S. Selling Avalon homes (like this one) is what has made the Model S Performance affordable for us:
