Model S Reservation Tally
- Thread starter Joel
- Start date
A friend of mine just got Canadian Signature Special #23 (he's a Roadster owner).
Looks like 40% of Canadian Roadster owners got a Signature Model S reservation! (Presumably there are also some R's as well.)

With the talk of a few Sig Special deliveries being made during the week of 7/29, does this mean the balance the Founders cars (#11 - 35?) will be delivered before this date?
Not so much. A sustained sales rate of 20K/annum is 5K/quarter, after all. Ramping up to that level, and then beyond, is what I'd expect!
On July 6th Tesla provided that delivery estimate for Special Signature reservation holder #4. If two weeks later the date is still firm, then yes, the inference is that the balance of the Foundation Series will be delivered this month.

The store reps said it was a good weekend kick off, and it was mid Saturday only. "Exceeded their expectations." They wouldn't disclose anything, and I don't blame them. I think I heard through someone else (how they would know this I'm unsure), but indicated at least 6 had signed up in the 24 hours before me. Maybe from just observation, of those going to the "quiet room.", and I believe there was someone not long after me signing up too. I'll bet their numbers will be significantly stronger than that before this weekend is over (strong double digits I'd expect). The next 45 days will kick up a lot of dust on this front.
I should point out this is rumor on rumor, which I don't like to post on. So take this with a grain of salt.

It'll be interesting to hear what they say about the reservations queue on the Q2 call this week. Certainly at 12,000 -- maybe 13,000?

I play a nice person on twitter.
It certainly might. My wife drove the S yesterday--liked it, but didn't love it as I had hoped she would. Now we are considering switching to the X. She prefers a taller vehicle, and the extra passenger space in the X is a factor as well. Alas, we cannot afford to do both--college savings plan be damned!
You could keep both options open; stay with your S reservation till it's decision time, then defer if necessary. Meanwhile (now) also reserve an X. That way your 'moment of truth' doesn't come till you have to confirm or cancel the S for sure. Then you get back your $5K, and still have the benefit of the 'early' X reservation.

From drbradfo, Portland Oregon today...
"My friends, who came along for my test drive, made their reservation this morning around 10am. Their number 10636. So 28 reservations in less then 24 hours."

drbardfo - thanks for letting us tag along. We are stoked to be reservation 10,636 holders! Can't wait for our own test drive, hopefully this fall!

I think it is more like 485 in 15 days, which would be 453 in 2 weeks. However, that's just the US number. Taking the sum from 7/7 and 7/22, even though some of the numbers included are not from exactly these days, the difference is 503 in 15 days, which would be 469 in two weeks.
Either way, more than 1,000 per month. (Unless there are lots of cancellations which is probably not the case.)

While this is certainly fantastic, in relation to where we have been, it is sobering to realize that Tesla has to maintain a rate of 1,667 every month next year and subsequently, to sell the 20,000 per year they are forecasting.

Some were posting graphs recently which showed that the rate is continuously increasing. I think these number indicate that this trend is getting there easily. 20k per year is not that large a number, for a well-received product.

Yes--it's still early, there's currently a long wait, and the product will improve over time. I have no concerns that they'll hit 20k per year.
