- amscanne 8y agoIIRC, the order of deliveries depended on state and the specific build and options. This was clear up front.
- braythwayt 8y agoPerhaps you are both correct, and the reservation secured your spot in line. Not a global line for all Model 3 sales, but a small line for your particular combination of build and options.
- mikeash 8y agoYes. Having a reservation let you order earlier. All else being equal, an earlier reservation let you order before a later one, but there were other factors as well. I saw both sides of this, placing a reservation and then ultimately waiting for a version that didn’t require one. I did get a chance to order before it opened up to the general public, but I didn’t take advantage.
- yumraj 8y agoYeah, but based on the announcement of $35K car which was not what was delivered for over a year, so the terms only applied to the customer not Tesla and the spot in line didn't matter much.
