Plenty of discussion about owners getting priority, jumping ahead in line, California first, etc, but I wonder how they plan on letting non owners configure when the time comes.
Will they let all of the people who stood in line in California go first, or will they let, say, the first 20 people from each line across the country go first, then #21-40, etc?
If they do all CA line waiters first before moving on to Nevada, Oregon, etc and then moving east, east coast wouldn't see the car for quite a while.
If they did groups of 20 per store, that would be 1800 in each group (there were 90 stores in the US when reservations started) and half of those will likely wait for AWD/standard/white interior/Performance. At 1000 per week that would get them through a group of 10 per week per store.
My reason for thinking the latter is how they plan it is that from what I can gather, all people who were among the first in line (like me, #20 in Charlotte NC) seem to have Dec-Feb windows while those who were #100 or higher in line have Jan-March or Feb-April windows, despite where in the US they reserved.
No one knows but Tesla, but I'm hoping they don't fill all west coast orders before moving east.
