What you guy's seam to be missing is that Tesla doesn't need to lease for at least 12 month's if not a whole lot longer. Why add in any complexity in the early stages to move cars if you don't have to. Tesla as it stands has 6500+ reservations and it could conceivably be 8000-10,000 when production starts. So I get that you feel offended that Tesla doesn't care about you but I am sure if they get 10,000 reservations they will have enough cash or self financed buyer to satisfy demand for the first 12+ month's of production regardless of what your reservation number is.
I was told when I was in the NY store that Tesla feels with in the next 6 month's they will have filled the signature series and will be starting a list looking for potential people to back fill any sports that are vacated by anyone dropping out. What that say's is they feel they have plenty of customers with plenty of money and they don't need to worry about leasing or expanding the limited financing options they have for the first 12 months.
