I can get on board with 70% being too high. It's in line with their previous reservations, and $1k is still not chump change, but it is less than original $5k the Model S reservations went for.
To put things in perspective, right now there are more preorders than the annual sales of the top 3 or 4 small luxury cars combined (BMW M3, and Mercedes C-Class, etc). I can't recall ever seeing this kind of production capacity needed for a single car model, much less a luxury-class car. Exciting stuff.

In the past several decades, the auto industry has only experienced minor evolution in fuel sources with most of the focus on luxury and driving dynamics. It's time to shift into a new environment, and hopefully maintain competition from new players as well as legacy automakers that can turn their ship on course in a timely manner.
