Where will your Model S reside?

[KBF]

It might be good to include a separate color for "Signature Special" (for Roadster Owners) since the numbers overlap (in Canada at least). I know there is a Cdn S5 and SS5 on the Tesla forum (I don't know if both of them post here, though).

 

[gg_got_a_tesla]

Neat idea! Added P1620 to the cluster in the SF Bay Area. Have P22 for a neighbor; cool!

 

[efusco]

Added--I'm pretty much alone in SW Missouri with the St.Louis, KC, OKC, and Memphis reservation holders the closest to me. I am finding the distribution, so far, pretty interesting as there are quite a few more on the East Coast and in the midwest than I would have expected--thinking the huge majority would be California folks.

To beat the dead horse....Why oh why isn't there a Tesla store in St.Louis or KC--heck, just put it in Nixa so it'll be central to KC, STL, Memphis, Little Rock, and OKC!!

 

[Zorba]

Done

 

[de704]

Just Added,

Cool, I'm I lowest reservation in Atlanta so far!

Ballin!

 

[Robert.Boston]

add the denmark taxi sales as fleet too! ;-)

I didn't hear about those! How many?

I don't live in a rough neighborhood or am paranoid or anything, but there are folks out there that don't really mind taking other people's belongings and that may put this map to use much differently from the original intention... I think I'll just mark some general vicinity and call that enough...

Paranoid, from Wiki

Exhibiting or characterized by extreme and irrational fear or distrust of others

If you watch TV and believe any of it, you have irrational fears. I would be happy to give my home address, and I leave the doors unlocked, but to each his own. I just cannot let fear rule my actions.

And I've never had anything stolen from me except a Bible. No less.

Given there are 8000 reservations and the map has less than 150, I don't think you can draw too many conclusions about how many people near you have reserved a Model S. I'm not sure what a valid sample size is, but it must be more than 150 given the distribution of possible answers (places people live). It's not like a political poll which can get away with a tiny sample set because the answer distribution is also very small.

That said, it's entertaining to look at the map

 

[AnOutsider]

That's pretty unfair. There's plenty to be worried about in this world, and not sharing your personal address on the internet is extremely common and normal thing. Though, if you leave your doors unlocked and share your address on the internet, you must live in a very peaceful and secure place.

 

[Zextraterrestrial]

Life's too short to worry

I'll leave my doors unlocked and share my address so others can stop by to top off their S....& besides, Northern California is a pretty peaceful place :tongue: (+ the neighbors have an arsenal just in case)

Cool map !

 

[Iz]

Done! Only one other marker in my area so far.

 

[jcstp]

I didn't hear about those! How many?

The Taxi's for Denmark where ordered during the fremond factory tour!
I think it where 50 cars!

It's mentioned somewhere on this forum, but can not find it!

 

[Mycroft]

He reserved 100 cars at $5,000 each. Total check written out for $500,000.00

It's some kind of car sharing service. Iceland has cheap electricity but very expensive imported petrol. He's probably going to be able to import the cars duty-free for that reason.

ckessel,
you have 2 markers on the map (assuming you are the other Portlander).

We're up to 187! There's no reason to believe that we have anything other than a random sample of respondents, at least among English-speaking countries. (Non-English speakers are probably underrepresented). Still, I agree that we can't make some conclusions from the small data set (e.g. "No other Model S reservation holder lives within 50 miles of me") but we can reach other, more general conclusions ("The Model S is selling well outside of California").

 

[AnOutsider]

("The Model S is selling well outside of California").

That stood out to me as well. Is there a similar map for the leaf?

 

[VolkerP]

Non-English speakers are probably underrepresented

I just posted a link to the map along with basic instructions in the "Deutschland" owner section of the TM forum. There are subforums for Belgium, Netherlands, Schweiz, Portugal, Norway, and Turkey. I suggest that native speakers post the OP message into these to help with that "problem" :wink:

 

[VolkerP]

BTW there are 21 flags in EU representing 2.9% of the 721 RSN count, whereas the total of 187 flags are a mere 2.25% of all 8292 RSNs (RSN totals taken from Model S Tally). Let's keep drumming for at least 10%!

 

[NigelM]

Wouldn't be representative as they started with a geographical restriction on sales and in some areas still seem hard to get. Yes I know there are reservation holders, but I'm also aware of people who cancelled their Leaf reservations because it wasn't helping them get their car any faster.

On the main boards, we've been sharing production #s and locations.

I've set up a wiki-map, so you can add your own entries. I'll approve them as they come in.

Please follow the color-coding convention in the legend at the bottom: red=Signature; purple=general Production; light purple=R list

Rob - You may get additional data on the map if you change the title of this posting to "World Map of Model S reservation holders". Just a thought...
