Tesla currently only makes 2 cars: the Roadster, which sells for about $100,000, and the Model S, which sells for around $50,000.
To reach $100 million in canceled sales, 1000 Roadster orders or 2000 Model S orders would have to be cancelled.
If a few hundred meant 300 cancelled orders, then their losses would be limited to between $15-30 million.
So the 2 sentences reflect a disparity of at least 700 cars. I wonder if someone is trying to confuse the 1500 cancellations in Q4 with the cancellations caused by the NYT article. 1500 cancellations would represent around $100 million in cancelled sales, and this was announced at about the same time as the NYT article.
