Model S Reservation Tally

[woof]

I'm sure the Get Amped tour has had an impact on X reservations, too.

It certainly might. My wife drove the S yesterday--liked it, but didn't love it as I had hoped she would. Now we are considering switching to the X. She prefers a taller vehicle, and the extra passenger space in the X is a factor as well. Alas, we cannot afford to do both--college savings plan be damned!

You could keep both options open; stay with your S reservation till it's decision time, then defer if necessary. Meanwhile (now) also reserve an X. That way your 'moment of truth' doesn't come till you have to confirm or cancel the S for sure. Then you get back your $5K, and still have the benefit of the 'early' X reservation.

From drbradfo, Portland Oregon today...

"My friends, who came along for my test drive, made their reservation this morning around 10am. Their number 10636. So 28 reservations in less then 24 hours."

drbardfo - thanks for letting us tag along. We are stoked to be reservation 10,636 holders! Can't wait for our own test drive, hopefully this fall!

So am I right in seeing that they have taken something like 500 reservations in the last two weeks?!

Well if the stats on the Reservation Tally thread on the main site are to believed, then yes.... 500 reservations

Dang, wish I saved up to reserve sooner.... oh well will have to wait till December.

I saw 10151 reported on 7/7 so to 10636 now, I guess that is more like 450 in three weeks, wonder when the last time they took that many in 3 weeks was!

I think it is more like 485 in 15 days, which would be 453 in 2 weeks. However, that's just the US number. Taking the sum from 7/7 and 7/22, even though some of the numbers included are not from exactly these days, the difference is 503 in 15 days, which would be 469 in two weeks.

Either way, more than 1,000 per month. (Unless there are lots of cancellations which is probably not the case.)

While this is certainly fantastic, in relation to where we have been, it is sobering to realize that Tesla has to maintain a rate of 1,667 every month next year and subsequently, to sell the 20,000 per year they are forecasting.

Some were posting graphs recently which showed that the rate is continuously increasing. I think these number indicate that this trend is getting there easily. 20k per year is not that large a number, for a well-received product.
