Many mainstream car companies, particularly GM with its all-electric Chevy Bolt have cars with roughly comparable specs to the Model 3 and you get get one today. The allure of getting something now instead of waiting surely contributes to some of these cancellations.
- ebikelaw 8y agoYep. You can walk into any Chevy dealer nationwide right now and walk out in an hour with a Bolt for under $35k. There are 114 of them sitting in inventory within 25 miles of my house, according to Chevy's web site.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoTelling that hundreds of thousands of people will wait for a Model 3 while Bolts sit on the lot.
- ebikelaw 8y agoIt certainly says a lot about marketing and mass psychology. But then again, anyone who will pre-order any kind of product is a self-identifying irrational economic actor. There's no accounting for them.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoIf humans were rational economic actors, we wouldn’t have exhaustive behavioral studies on how to nudge their decisions towards more positive outcomes.
- rustcharm 8y agoWell, with all the cancellations, perhaps some of them are thinking this through.
