All I know is that once Gen III sketches and reservation comes out, I'm putting my down payment down.
Imagine if 100,000 other customers do the same?
I also wonder how many Signature reservations they'll make available. If it's a mass market car, meant for 10x the volume of Model S. I imagine they'd make 10x as many Signatures available? Maybe for 20K down.
10,000 Signature * $20,000 = $200M
90,000 Production * $5,000 = $450M
For a total of $650M.
Also, was giving this some thought the other night. I don't think nearly as many people would be willing to put down a reservation over a year in advance if checking accounts weren't paying 0.01%. Tesla sure is benefiting from historcial low cost of capital at its most capital intensive growth stage.
