So there are 400,000+ people waiting on the $35k version?

I'd be surprised if people don't spring for at least a few options. Even 30% uptake on EAP would do wonders for the bottom line.

Yeah. EAP is 100% pure marginal profit.

How do other brands do this? When they launch a new car, let's say an all-new Volkswagen Golf/BMW 3 or whichever equivalent, how long and how many units before a large factory starts making the 1.0L EcoBlah version with plain fabric interior, non-sun roof, etc, etc?

People don’t care enough about most other cars.

If the wait time is up to about 4 months for all long range cars, and standard range is at least 6 months out, what are they going to make in the mean time? This is a wonderful opening for wild speculation :-D

Huh? The wait for LR cars is 1-4 months currently.
