World Map of Model S Reservation Holders

[STxTesla]

Nigel, I definitely agree, but this sample is probably heavily skewed toward earlier reservations, say the first 50% or so. I would be very interested to see where the most recent 5-6K reservations lie geographically. Spread around the US in a similar fashion? Clustering around existing owners/TM Galleries?

Of course, Tesla has all this information at their fingertips.

I would guess that later reservations are geographically located in similar areas as the map indicates. A vast majority of exposure of the Model S is in those areas because of limited marketing. The only exposure of the Model S to the public is through seeing the actual cars on the streets and by magazine write ups...and awards.

For consumer research purposes that would be considered a huge sample.

Which is why consumer research gets it wrong so often.

I didn't say it was good, I said it was huge. However, the larger a sample becomes the less you should worry about keeping it random.

Not necessarily true. The question is the representativeness of the sample. You could have a population of a million, 50% men and 50% women. If you surveyed half of the million but included only men, you'd have a terrible sample.

Randomness is critical and it makes possible accurate research with a much smaller sample. For example, the popular vote in Presidential elections can be accurately called with a national sample of only about 1,000 respondents, provided that the sample is representative of the voting population.

FWIW, the spread of reservations is pretty good across the P values for the US. Here's a table showing the distribution:

Count	P Range
67	1 to 1000
39	1001 to 2000
44	2001 to 3000
78	3001 to 4000
51	4001 to 5000
59	5001 to 6000
41	6001 to 7000
35	7001 to 8000
33	8001 to 9000
25	9001 to 10000
30	10001 to 11000
16	11001 to 12000
7	12001 to 13000
7	13001 to 14000

Thanks Robert, that is good to know. A slight bias to the older reservations, but nothing like I had anticipated.

I'm just surprised Washington is not a player.

 

[Robert.Boston]

According to my recent tally of map data, it is, Eric (@vfx). Washington is #3 of U.S. states on count of map pins (behind California and Texas), and #2 on map-pins-per-capita (behind Hawaii). I just got a big batch of Florida reservations posted (thanks, Larry, for wrangling those), which will have pushed Washington to #4 on the absolute count.

Where does it push Texas?:biggrin:

4th -- at least until someone fires up the Texas Tesla Club and rustles up their wayward members, too!

Oh, Larry, you scamp.

Don't mess with the above mentioned state:smile: For an oil and gas state, we're doing pretty well and have some fired up owners and future owners. Friendly competition is always good so we'll see if we can get more people on the map.

That was my thought as well. Represent, Texas!

Yep, we've got over 70 members now. :biggrin:

Hi, I am a recently new model S reservation holder in GA , just added myself to the map, P13602 at latitude longitude 34.069054,-84.234901.
I am both excited and nervous about my reservation.
I would really like to get into contact with some other reservation holders near me.
I see that there are (relatively) a lot of them in Atlanta, and even a couple within 10-15 miles of me.
Would really like to chat with some of the other owners as it looks like Tesla is really going to force me to make a decision by end of Jan.
And I have a lot of questions (as to what options to get, etc.)
If you read this, P6652 and/or P3249, please contact me if you are interested in talking about this, comparing notes, etc.
thanks!

Welcome, Alpha. Hopefully you can find the local people.
There are some threads on the forum which are very helpful on choosing the options but the whereabouts are eluding me at the moment.

Thanks! I am quickly finding my way and have already e-met (is that a term) a couple of them.
It's nice to be part of a community like this.

S577 downgraded to GP5,158. Can you update the map? Also, it would be great if we could denote delivered or not.

 

[Vger]

I second that!

 

[Robert.Boston]

It would be great, but unless you were diligent in keeping your magic URL, updating these points would fall on my shoulders. And, because I've got no way to contact people (and in many cases, the entry is anonymous or incomplete, e.g. "P64xx"), there's no way I could be accurate or complete even if I wanted to try. So, we'll just have to content ourselves with an ever-growing number of points.
