It's really a question of demographics. How many people that have put down a reserve are buying a car to drive vs buying a means of transportation? Obviously, this is all speculative since they haven't revealed what they're

I wonder, when Tesla unveils something that doesn't fit within the parameters that those people think of as a 'car', how many will drop their reservation? Since we don't know the details yet, we don't know how much

To clarify - the stress of the restaurant job was as much the lack of a distinct schedule combined with minimum wage pay as it was the physical work of the job. The call center gave me a regular 8-6 window, full time work at double the mini
