No, it' more like your best friend does some dumb **** (again and again in this case). "Might want to revisit your thought process."B does A if you're successful. Might want to revisit your thought process.
Highly depends on competition...I think total no. of reservations might cross 200000 by late 2017 if Model 3 continues the tradition of beautiful and innovative cars that it's siblings are.
Model S blowed away competition even when EV were a much smaller market. And Bolt, Leaf and i3 are aesthetically challenged cars. They also don't have bleeding edge tech like autopilot. So, I highly doubt that trend will change. (assuming Model 3 is as great as S and X).Highly depends on competition...
Model S had no competition whatsoever (except Frisker Karma, but these guys managed to shoot themselves in the foot on a number of occasions).Model S blowed away competition even when EV were a much smaller market.

Other manufacturers haven't shown aggressiveness for innovative features like autopilot. Let's see if they will add it in future in their cars.Model S had no competition whatsoever (except Frisker Karma, but these guys managed to shoot themselves in the foot on a number of occasions). A lot of people like the design of Bolt/Leaf/i3 (for a bad reason though). A lot of high-end cars has autopilot option. I don't see why BMW cannot install one in i3 if they want, for example.
Tesla needs to make money in order to change the world. They offer the base models to encourage adoptions, but for them, as for others, the base models are marginally profitable but do give scale and absorb overhead.

I have no intention whatsoever to hurt TM, but surely I'd like to derail the reservation process.

I don't understand your logic. Derailing the reservation process of the vehicle that is the culimination of its existence as a company by definition hurts TM.No, it' more like your best friend does some dumb **** (again and again in this case). "Might want to revisit your thought process."
Um, yeah, so... sorry but this is way off base. Do you really think programming/software has no value? Is that why Oracle is a $172 Billion company and Microsoft $430 Billion? It's just programming. It's just software. Just give it away for free. You can make it up on volume.That can be done by having it include features like AP (which costs Tesla about as close to nothing at it comes since the majority of AP is programming)
They had my deposit for 3.5 years when their risk of failure was many fold times what it is now. What's your point? And yet GM got bailed out to the tune of billions of dollars and Tesla didn't. If Tesla can get capital to work with and people are willing to give them an interest free loan then I don't see the problem. Again, good try.Did you ever asked yourself a question - why Tesla reservation setup in a way, when they get your money, yet promise literally nothing, except they will return your deposit? They could start taking deposits right before they could start building your car as everybody else including GM by the way.
By the way, it could be useful to ask somebody, who know the corp bankruptcy process about a priority of a deposit.
Deposits or not they already investing heavily in expansion (Giga and other Mega factories). Expectation-wise I don't think TM will manage to bite-off more then 10% of US sales of 3 series. So, we are talking about 30-40k reservations. Conversion rate is another big unknown, which likely will depend on how long will it take to start producing Mod 3 in a reasonable numbers.
You must be a power individual with ties to industry if you can do that with some anonymous internet postings on an enthusiast website. Why would you care enough to 'disrupt the reservation process'? Are you that bitter?I have no intention whatsoever to hurt TM, but surely I'd like to derail the reservation process.

Reread the underlined.10% of all US car sales? That would be 1.7 million cars. Tesla has never talked about selling that many cars in the next 5 years even.
Agreed on both points.I see. Him typing BMW in front of that would have helped. Mod 3 is a new one to me too. At least he didn't type M3 when also talking about BMW.
