Model S Reservation Tally

[Ilanzo]

Here is the graph of the data I keep. The red line is worldwide reservations, the blue is US.

Do you have the underlying data in excel? Or can you just paste it in a forum post? I am pretty good with data and would happy to run some analysis (second derivitive, vs. search trends, etc) for everyone here!

I'll try attaching it later tonite using the image upload UI. Not sure it will let me, but I'll try. Perhaps the mods can chime in, if they have a better recommendation.

Upload it to a Google Doc Spreadsheet and make it public then give us the link. Mine is in a Google Doc, I don't mind sharing the raw data, but I'll have to move that into a new spreadsheet separate from some other stuff I don't want to share. I'll try to do that this week.

Mine's in Excel and I like it that way.

That's fine for you, but no good for sharing. You asked for a good way to share it. I'm just saying that's what Google Docs does best.

We all knew this but our reservation numbers will almost certainly not match our VIN. I asked to check and that's what I was told. I'm hoping I can crack the top 100.

We all knew this but out reservation numbers will almost certainly now match our VIN. I asked to check and that's what I was told. I'm hoping I can crack the top 100.

Sweet! FWIW, mine's a Gaussian Prime

Number 10223

I think he meant "not" not "now".

I see. And, Dave, were you referring to the Sequence numbers (i.e. Sig 114 or P 1620) rather than the RN Reservation numbers that we see in "My Tesla"?!

 

[brianman]

I'm pretty sure yes, since there isn't room for 6+ digits in the VIN.

Are you going with the Pearl White Performance?

Yes. Thanks. Darn typos on the iPhone.

I didn't think about the higher numbers but you're right.

I love the pearl white with CF trim and performance wheels. I'd probably get that if my Roadster wasn't that same setup and if Signature Red didn't exist. I locked down Signature Red Performance with performance wheels and CF trim/spoiler.

I'm still on the silver wheels. Hopefully at least one of us is making the right choice.

BTW... at the Seattle Amped they observed that curbing the Perf wheels reveals that the dark is a surface coloration (i.e. scratches show brightly).

It has been said Norway is the biggest market for Tesla outside of the US. (Or was it in Europe? Canada might be bigger.)

Last I heard there were around 400 reservations here for the Model S. That's 1 Model S for about every 12 500 inhabitants. The US has 1 Model S reservation for about every 26 000 inhabitants.

This is before we know pretty much anything about European pricing, CHAdeMO specs, three phase specs, if we'll get superchargers, etc. And we have just one store, where there's been one Model S beta at one time for under a week. No one has had test rides or test drives.

I think once Tesla actually starts focusing on Europe, we'll see reservations increase rapidly.

The Dutch site Groen7.nl today said that the number of Model S-reservations in The Netherlands and Belgium has surpassed 600. There's still just one store for these two neighbouring countries.

Do you know if there is a separate reservation list for The Netherlands and Belgium or if they are included in the Europe list?

It is for this reason that I decided to go with the silver rims rather than the dark ones. Curb rash is inevitable (in my family at least) and on silver it will show less.

The 400 reservation number is from before the Model S beta even visited Oslo in April, I believe. It's quite possible the number is somewhere above 500 now.

Looking into some old news article, I found one article quoting George Blankenship on April 14 when he said Norway was the biggest market after the US. Which means bigger than Canada.

Also, when it comes to the number of stores, the Belgium/Netherlands region is something like 400 km across. For comparison, Norway is about 2000 km long. Our population is seriously geographically dispersed and needs more stores.

Yes he did say that! And come to think of it that's actually quote remarkable (Canada's population is 34 million and right next to the US, Norway's is almost 5 million)

My guess is that your delivery will be in October, so your "Time to Configure!" email should arrive later this month.

Thanks Robert.Boston. That is exciting!
