Can't think of a better adjective for it! Calling a raised bamboo floor kick-ass might be stretching it though. :biggrin:

I put money down to reserve on March 26th 2009 which is the day they started taking reservations. I am P 564 and looking forward to eventually getting the car after such a long wait.

I'm surprised you have such a high number. Did Tesla reserve a bunch of slots for friends/family/vip? There is already the line of Sig #s and the R #s that are separate from P.

I made my reservation on March 30th 2009 and i got EU P10.
So only the US 500 can be 'elite' cars

Selection bias. If you've dropped $40k in a new technology, you're probably more likely to be hanging on websites like this on a regular basis.
I was 463 and I'd never owned a roadster
Hmm... I guess a lot of folks jumped right in on the first day of reservations, March 26th, 2009. I do recall that they had more than 500 reservations in about a week.
I just checked my emails, and it looks like I joined here 4/3/2009 and got my confirmation email from Tesla 4/13/2009. I was thinking maybe it was because I signed up at the Tesla event in NY, but I show that I didn't even get an email about that until the 17th. So who knows
I was P2840, but I'm S354 as of a few months ago, though with the way production lines ramp up I don't think that difference between the two would amount to more than 3 months. When I made the Sig reservation, the number floating about was "around $80k" though there wasn't anything really saying if that was before or after federal tax credits. The various verbiage seemed to hint that the Sig was something special which mentally I think I assumed that meant it'd be a small reward for early adopters willing to commit the $40k in situation with some non-trivial risk.
It's unclear what the Sig really means though and I'll be bummed if it's just a plaque and a color I don't really want. I'm keeping my Sig reservation until all the option information comes out though and hoping Tesla does right by Sig holders that decide the selection/choice of the Sig options doesn't work for them.

I wasn't at the event but reserved online the first day available. I got my first reservation email on the 26th of march (when the money came out of my bank account) and the confirmation on the 31st of march. I didn't get the reservation number emailed to me until the 23rd of June. I know the article says over 500 in a week but a lot of them were R and S reservations so I don't really know why my number is so high.

The $80k figure bandied for Sig was always after the federal tax rebate. It was $70k for the 300 mile base and $80k for the Sig base. That's why I think it will be $88k at the door and will be missing some highly desired options like air suspension, second 10k charger, and pano roof. It should include leather, prem. trim, and premium audio though. Just stay on good terms with your credit union loan officer. :biggrin:

The impression I got in the beginning was that the reservation sequence depended on when Tesla received your deposit. I wired my money as soon as my credit union opened after the reservations opened up in Canada and received an early number.

My prediction is the Model X will be a Model S with a straight roof (rather than sloping down) to allow more space in the back, obviously a tow hitch, and it will optionally have a second motor up front for 4-wheel drive. That last is probably a $20k option. Sport crossover? :smile:
