I'm happy employees of Elons other companies will get their cars first. They deserve it!
They totally deserved it. Many of them joined SpaceX and Tesla knowing full well it is very likely these two companies might not make it. There were a lot of naysayers. After all, the last successful American car startup was 1920s and the last successful space company startup was never.
Thank you Kenypowa. You Get It.
You guys are missing the point. The people who are reserving early are missing all the fun of camping out in line and having that "well earned" feeling.
I have no idea. I will not be reserving a car. I'm happy with my S.If you don't mind sharing, what's the percentage of your coworkers reserving a Model 3?
I'd imagine it should be pretty high for a company full of engineers and rocket scientists. -)

I want to start by saying I have a lot of respect for SpaceX and am impressed with what they have accomlished. I live on the same Island where the launch pad is located. Even though it is about 12 miles away, the way it is situated I have an almost direct line of site and unobstructed view of the launch area from our veranda. When the engines fire up you can see the rocket rise into the sky. It is still a thrill watch the rockets go across the sky from the veranda. We usually go out and watch the launches which average one a month and their competitor United Space Alliance also averages one a month. I think SpaceX may be our only hope in sending a mission to Mars. According to Elon putting a colony on Mars may be the only way our species will survive. Whether it is from a natural disaster (like an asteroid) or man-made (like robots becoming the dominate species) putting a colony on Mars makes sense. I have read a lot about Elon's reasoning and how robots could take over during my lifetime. First I though it was nonsense but the more I read I realized it could and probably will happen.
I am a currently a Tesla owner therefore it won't have to much effect on me but I think it is unfair for SpaceX employees to be able to jump the line as the only nexus they have is Elon Musk is the CEO of both companies. Where Tesla is a public traded company, SpaceX is a privately owned company.
Actually they didn't even have to jump the line as they were able to make their reservation last week. What next will SolarCity employees be able to reserve early? After all Elon has a considerable interest in it also.
The only thing good about it is many of the 5,000 employees of SpaceX work and live in this area. The closest Supercharging location is 70 miles away and SC is 62 miles away along with tolls both ways. I am the only X in the area and it is rare to even see another Tesla. If even 25-40% of the employees which live here were to buy a Model 3 it would be enough to probably justify a SC and Supercharger location.
