The difference is the deposits Tesla accepted for the Model 3. Likely many deposits were placed based on the frequently-cited $35k price.
I do not think deposits were taken for the models you mentioned.
- greglindahl 9y agoYou're wrong about all of these: Tesla was clear that the more expensive Model 3's would ship first, and S and X both shipped the most expensive ones first.
- carlivar 9y agoCould you cite a source on that, please? The only articles I can find talking about it start in Summer 2017.
- jungturk 9y agoModel X deposits ranged from $5k for the base model to $40k for the Signature model. Those deposits sat for up to 3 years for early reservations. The upcoming Roadster requires $50k and $250k deposits. The upcoming Semi requires a $20k deposit. The original Roadster also required a deposit. I'm unsure of the original Model S. Tesla's current estimate for base Model 3's is "late 2018" for early reservation holders. Take that with a grain of salt given how reliably they announce unreliable release dates.
