nice, didn't someone recently get 1002? Would be good to see the highest number above #1000 to get an idea on how many people dropped out (i.e. highest number = 1024, then there's 24 slots in the uncompressed list)

I believe 1017 has been mentioned elsewhere, but it's also been pointed out that this number doesn't include the Signature Special numbers.
Do we know this or is it just an assumption? How do we know they don't just burn a Sig number each time they give out a Sig special number?
Yah, I asked the same question on this thread in the other forum. No official information came from it yet.

I know I've mentioned this before: I asked specifically when I got my SS# if the Sig Specials are included in the 1,000 total and was told "Yes."

Not that I would know, but I could imagine that they'd like EV-experienced drivers to be the first to "test" the first cars coming off the line.

We don't know if the Sigs are going to have a plaque of some kind like the first 100 Roadsters. If so, then the Special Sigs might have a different entry on the plaque.
I think all of the Signatures would be treated the same in terms of options/plaques but that's just a guess. If there's any benefit, it would be that the Signature Specials get moved in front of the Signature list.

Right. Founders may have something different/special compared to "regular" signatures, but the Sig Specials just get Roadster owners to the front of the line.

The Sig Special list just gets you to the front of the list. I was told that they will be the same as other Sigs. (Wouldn't be suprised if Tesla does a small something such as a plaque, but I'm not expecting anything based on my conversation back in October).
great... sure do need you guys to stop being so US centric :wink:I'm the one who is reviewing your 3-Phase presentation with JB (and others) and attended the September opening in Eindhoven

Regarding Sig Special getting you to the front of the list: that's all it does, but it may not even do that. Remember, as Tesla always reminds us, they aren't going to deliver in *exact* reservation number order. We could start speculating on how they're going to batch the Signatures, but I would be surprised if they *didn't* batch based on Performance vs. non-Performance, given that it involves powertrain changes, different seats, and even different computer programming.
We WILL NOT bump anyone with a confirmed reservation to make room for anyone... even Elon
Seriously, Elon didn't reserve a Sig? Tsk tsk.
Not only stop complaining but also continue championing Tesla as the greatest car company on the planet! :smile:
For me the problem is that some of the design decisions taken on the Model S prevent me from using the car in Europe as an ICE replacement, and I *need* an ICE replacement if I'm going to sell the EV idea to the majority of my friends and colleagues (most of whom are more 'mainstream' than myself and could not, or would not, use a Roadster as their main car). If I had 3 Phase and CHAdeMO then I could really stand behind the Model S and promote it without saying "don't take it into Mainland Europe" or "don't expect to easily travel further than your battery range in a day".
We haven't seen the finalized US version yet. The European version, not to mention right-hand drive version, is still a long ways away. Things may (most likely will) change.
