There were probably around 200,000 reservations already by the time you reserved yours on 4/1/2016. Being on the East Coast, you will get your car later than those who reserved around the same time as you but who are located geographically west of you. Also, employees and current Tesla owners will have priority over first-time Tesla buyers who are not employees. Your reservation number doesn't really reveal any useful information as to your place in the queue. Finally, being a Leaf owner doesn't carry any clout as it does with existing Tesla owners.
Four time? What happened to the first 3? I still have my original 2011 Nissan Leaf reserved a year or so before they were available to sell... Like a certain new car also that I reserved before I was able to buy it.
3 were totaled in various crashes into my wife and me over the first 4 years of EV driving. Air bags blew and no injuries any time. For awhile with my first LEAF I was the worldwide single-charge mileage leader in real traffic driving with 134.8 miles.
Your RN should be kept private - it's how Tesla identifies you in their system. You might ask a moderator to edit your post, if you're unable to do so.
How is that hot wheels can still sell them for $1, cheaper if you find them on sale?
This is just the secondary market. I got mine for a buck at my local grocery store. As for your second example, while it genuinely is awesome, I feel like that was way too awesome to expect as a free giveaway. Whatever they are or aren't planning, it makes sense in any case to deliver the gift after people have actually ordered the car. What use is it to give free stuff to people who cancel their reservations?
