The value proposition is great. I would suggest about 10,000; maybe more if it was advertised more. Tesla is a much more mature and well-known company now than it was in the days of MS and MX reservations.

When I first saw a prop of the original MS at the Frankfurt Auto show (IAA) a few years before the release of the car, I thought people were crazy to put down a huge deposit (30,000 Euro) for a company that had little to show.

Later I joined the crazy ones; the rest is history.

If the numbers are good, I am expecting Tesla to release them. Could definitely give a bump to SP.

For founder, the expect 10 days for all cash to be wired, so I think it might take some time another few weeks - if they do decide to make the numbers public.

I don't think they'll want to make the numbers public; no need. We'll see them on Customer Deposits, muddied.
 
It’s surprising that Founders hasn’t sold out yet.
Hi VA. Not a big surprise. I would be hesitant to give Tesla a $250k interest-free loan with no escrow. I would just wait until I could walk in to buy one. The regular version will be just as much fun to drive as a Founder's edition and I could use the other $50k to buy my girlfriend a Model 3. That would make everyone happy! lol
 
From the annual report

853,919,000 Customer deposits 2017
663,859,000 2016

Seems about 190,060,000 more for 2017 => extra 190,060 Model 3 ? but we know some must be for SEMI

50 SEMI => 50 x 20,000 = $1,000,000 and we know of a couple of companies have announced that.
Anyone care to search the Forum and see what the investor guys think?
