Would it be a stretch to assume that the majority of orders were not ever serious offers and that many would have considered it a cheap way to pump their stock portfolio?
Seems like pretty ham-handed execution. Why would they release something clearly not ready for primetime? Seems like it would be further impairment of its brand tbh.
The order number is a soft one, not firm. I myself have one order in, that I will not pick up due to the price and spec below what was initially advertised. The deposit is so small I haven't found the time to get it back. Tesla went through the backlog to see if anyone is interested in the foundation series quite quickly. Naturally because of the price (+20K) not many are interested. Wondering when they will start offering non-foundation models.
