I think res numbers are still provided. Also, when I log into mytesla account, I see it. #9965.
There was a dropout of the res numbers on the site a week ago, but only for a day.
Btw, I've put 500 miles on my MS since taking delivery on Thu. Luv it.

I agree
J, I agree. Its called selective capitalism. We need to build the future of companies like Tesla. Eventually prices will drop for the masses and the technology will improve but it has to start somewhere. No oil changes, no transmission, no shipping of oil using oil across oceans. The oil industry is all for crappy technology.
There is no reason why we should drive gas powered vehicles.

welcome on TMC ;-)
Congratulations
They indeed move faster, but do not forget that TESLA not yet produces the multicolor red, standard suspension and 40kw battery!
So they complete orders till they have enough people who don't order these options!

jpasqua, thanks for your post! We needed this data point!! I have one critical point that I think needs to be clarified. Are you saying that your reservation #19325 was placed on 2/18 or before 2/18? I think you haven't provided the date yet when you placed this reservation but you finalized your MVPA on 2/18. I'm guessing you placed your reservation BEFORE 2/18. It's important we know that exact date.
Thanks for confirming this reservation date! It's how we can all judge the daily average of reservations.

Here's the more detailed timeline:
2/17: Made my reservation
2/18: Finalized the order
2/19: Signed (DocuSigned) the paperwork
2/20: I received confirmation from Tesla that my order was complete

Thanks for clarifying!
Based on jpasqua's reservation data point above, the U.S. Reservation Rate between Feb 8th and Feb 17th is 50 reservations/day. The Feb 8th reservation# was 18,874. That's 451 new reservations over 9 days.
The Takeaway: Reservation rates are increasing as expected (post new year price increase hangover)

Hardly any wait anymore between making a reservation and finalizing the car! So we can almost count a reservation as a solid order, as cancellation will be less likely.

More like 30 per day in the US. The reservation dates being reported were a little screwy around the beginning of February, but I see this post in the reservation thread on the official forums.

Which is in line with rate of the last reservation 19,178 and the current high number of 19,325 as can be seen here.
Welcome to Google Docs
That is a really steep drop off, back to the reservation rates about 3-4 months ago. 30/day isn't bad, but it's only 1/2 what the run rate needs to be to support 20k/year. Q1 is often a slow sales period though. I've also wondered in the past if Tesla is going to have a tough patch between the initial backlog getting on the street to when those cars generate enough word of mouth to spawn new buyers.

I made a quick chart of sequence number by reservation date. I interpret this graph to mean Tesla was successful with their price increase strategy. In November the curve looked pretty similar to what it does in 2013, with a huge spike in December of people trying to get in before the hike. So they got a bunch of people off the fence while maintaining a strong baseline reservation rate. Gas price increases and more cars on the road should drive future reservations rates higher.

I agree that the price increase seems to have been successful. My thesis has always been that they put through that increase primarily to depress demand to a rate that they could manage. It's early, but this graphic seems to indicate that the exponential rise in reservation rates has been stopped. Of course, this could just been a January hangover from holiday spending and the rate might resume it's previous course shortly.

Don't forget Europe, which is around 18 per day. So the reservation rate is probably around 80-85% of 400 per week goal. I'd say that's fine for the beginning of the year when auto sales tend to lag.

Gas prices here in California are rising sharply... Again
Once we get to near 5 dollars per gallon, we're going to see a few people dump their luxury gas guzzlers
