More Deposits

It's likely that a lot of would be buyers have been holding back from making a deposit to see if the Model S is really going to happen.

This could double the number of deposits in a very short time.

I noticed Fisker wasn't awarded anything yet even though they applied as well. I wonder... In any event I can now count on a Model S when I get my PhD in 2011...

I am pretty sure they are either not a US company or not producing it here in the US.

The Fisker Karma is produced in Finland by another company.
Fisker is applying for money to produce a second car in the USA.

Well call me childish but I am happy that Fisker didn't get awarded as soon as Tesla did.
