And that would suck for the employees who would not be able to spend that time with their families. To create that much ill will just for a quaint gimmick doesn't seem like it would make very happy employees. Also, banks are closed on Xmas day and most people don't have their financing lined up to easily accommodate such a huge purchase on short notice.
And Tesla's not going to apologize. If they intend to, they would have at least sent all of us reservation holders a free hat or t-shirt or something. Heck, I don't even get the Xmas card that some have posted they receive! Oh well, it's still the best SUV/CUV on the planet and that may be a (belated) gift enough.
