Well it did in 2013, well before the Australian prices were announced or I could configure. I could see this happening again for those who reserved when the official base price was $US35k if the new base price is higher. They are not compelled to, but they did to recognise the goodwill.Sorry, no. An early reservation does not protect you from price rises - at least not any more. The price is fixed only when you configure. So if there was a 6 month delay or 12 month delay between configuring and receiving your car, you are guaranteed to only pay the amount indicated when you configured. Australian pricing hasn't even been announced, hence there is no benchmark and nothing to guarantee against.
Australian reservationists are unlikely to be invited to configure before late 2018. That's when we'll know pricing.
