I made an order with deposit, but has not been informed the final price, delivery will be FEB. 2014. It was said the current order numbers already exceeds 200!
I guess so:wink:! I found TMC very informative while I could not find one like this in China so far.
Welcome to TMC xdguo.
Wow, if you are the first Chinese person to order a Tesla Model S, then you will become a famous person in China (when Tesla EV's will be mainstream in China).
Well, there were already a number of people placed the orders before me when Tesla China started to take orders in Mid August, I'm just one from the first group:tongue:. When you look at the population base and environment problem we are having right now, it is no doubt that Tesla will make a very big sale in China in the not so far future.
Do you know the incentives that will be available in China for Model S? Tax breaks, lottery exemption, etc?

That lottery process sounds interesting, but heavy-handed. As an American, I hadn't even heard about this measure before. While trying to figure out if what this "lottery" was, I came across this article from June 2013.
EV buyers in Beijing no longer exempt from license plate lottery

Welcome! And very happy to have a China reservation holder providing input to TMC! Hope you are able to configure your car soon!
Thanks!Welcome!
I have always been concerned about where buyers in China will charge. Will you be charging at your house? If you live in an apartment, will charging be a problem?
Yes, I'd love to!:smile:Can you inform us about the pace of reservations in China (once a week/month)? That would be nice.
I thought the third shift only added another 10 - 15k to their 25k production run.
(1) Tesla definitely has enough room to set up a second production line.
(2) The slow part of the production line is apparently the humans, not the expensive-to-install machines, which can apparently work much faster than they are working.
(3) The way the production line is set up with little robot trolleys following magnetic tape, it would be possible to have one production line "split into two" at some point during production, perhaps after most of the heavy machine work is done and before the labor-intensive work.
(4) Therefore, I don't think Tesla is going to face significant capital-purchase hurdles to expanding production to 60K cars per year; but Tesla may face hiring & training hurdles.
