Your whole premise is wrong. The credit's expiration is based on # of cars sold for use in the US. Not, in any way, on # of cars built.

  You are right. I knew that as seen in my reference to selling cars overseas. I should have said sold domestically not built.

  It's not a direct link, but it's pretty close. You can't sell cars that aren't built, and if they're built, you want to sell them ASAP so you don't have to deal with inventory. That you can sell them to other countries helps with the inventory issue though.

    With the number of preorders, can Tesla claim they are sold as soon as they are manufactured?

      They are sold when they are paid for. The preorders are not paid for.
