Thanks again, Paul!
Now let's speculate wildly! What caused the big drop in reservations?
Let's hear some wild theories!
Now let's speculate wildly! What caused the big drop in reservations?
- Dual-Motor announcement pulled reservations to the D?
- The delay announced in the Quarterly Report pushed reservations to the S?
- The delay announced in the Quarterly Report pushed people to other cars?
- Something else?
Let's hear some wild theories!
I'd say it's a combination of the D announcement and the further delay. As time goes on without getting any more concrete information about the Model X, it becomes increasingly difficult to capture the attention of new people. Most of those who are willing to buy the Model X sight unseen have already placed their reservations. We won't see a big jump again until the production model reveal or, perhaps more importantly, the design studio launch with pricing and equipment information.
For people who were just wanting AWD, they can order the Model S and have it within 3 months. This is much more appealing than waiting until sometime in 2016 for a Model X. There's also no telling how many existing reservations were converted, so the reduced reservation rate only tells part of the story. I wouldn't be surprised if there really has been a net decrease in the number of reservations.

It is definitely the tremendous delay. In the customers eye, they are now playing in the same league like Audi and battling for the crown of the "world announce champion". So it was a loss of trust, too.
If you are planing to buy a car, how long do the most people plan upfront? How long are the most (not crazy) people willing to wait for a new car, once the decision for a new one is made, or their actual leasing/finance ends?
For me, I'm still in the reservation line waiting, but my mental state and especially my wife's understanding for that, are pointing an edge. If they again don't start delivering the X next year, they can start shipping psychiatrists instead of cars.
Personally I think, the possibility to make a reservation, more than 6 month before the final release, also irritates sales of the actual model.
I believe they will change this policy for upcoming Models.

Ps. Thanks again for the stats. And like timf I'm also wishing we could find out, how many of the reservation holders dropped out.

There was a downtrend at the end of last year also, so there may be a seasonal component to orders.

My wife got a call yesterday from Tesla offering sell her a Model S while she was waiting for her Model X. Apparently they would give her a good trade in when the X arrived. She didn't get any further details after she told the person we already have a Model S.
Anyone else get a call like that ?

Makes sense. Probably to get you in a Tesla before interest is lost and avoid delay cancellations.

My wife and I have talked about how useful a program to lease a Model S until our Model X is shipping would be. Heck - even a SC enabled 60 would do, and if we had the Model S in the garage now, we might discover that it meets our needs just fine.
Unfortunately, we haven't received a phone call like that from our local gallery

My friend in Canada just reserved Production 924. I've attempted to update the wiki. That is 13 more production Xs in Canada since the last update.
Aside -- while at the dentist yesterday my dentist and another patient told of how they had a total of 3 Xs on reservation for them. I personally know two others in my network with an X reservation.
This thing is going to sell like hotcakes....

That would not surprise me, i would not expect the x to sell well outside north america, its far too physically large. I dont know about norway specifically as i have never been, but elsewhere in europe and asia people have much smaller vehicles compared to canada

I actually expect the X to do well in europe. we have the Range R and the Q7 which are in the same category seize wise and do very well. but I think many people reserved an X for the 4x4 capability and not for the SUV practicality. so there will be quite a few reservations being reshuffled to Ds for this reason. however, when the X finally arrives the orders will pick up significantly again as a reflection of actually being available to buy rather than a long term "dream"
Back when we had the Upgrade snafu I asked if they would be adjusting the reservation numbers and assigning a new one instead of reinstating the original Production number and was told they would not do that because adjustments to the reservation queue is internal corporate info. I suspect if you asked you would get a similar response.
