IIRC, the order of deliveries depended on state and the specific build and options. This was clear up front.

  Perhaps 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.

    Yes. 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.
