I have quite a low production reservation number. I don't plan to defer. I am placing my faith in Tesla that any issues that crop up will be addressed, and that they will live up to their promise of new software features over time. I don't expect a lot in terms of physical updates to the car, but if they were to happen (e.g. an option for folding mirrors, etc), then that'd be a nice bonus.
The only thing I'm truly worried about at this point is the issues with panel fit and alignment that have been evident in the earliest cars. That's the sort of thing that really bugs me (as somebody whose profession is dealing with things that need to be perfect on a pixel level). It's affecting my thinking on color choices, even. So, if my name did come up on the Signature waiting list, I might or might not take the offer, just to let a little more time elapse. (Barring the Sig, I will be waiting for the 60kWh car, so the gap is bigger than it sounds given my reservation number.)
