There's a big difference between funding a company and putting down a deposit to hold your spot in line for a car.
There is a difference, and I'm glad you see that. Perhaps you're also capable of seeing that there's a difference lending $40 G's to a company that was at risk of becoming insolvent vs. putting money down on an upcoming car from a well-established, financially viable company such as BMW. There is also a difference putting money down 2 years ago when that risk was quite large vs. today when it is far less so. No one is entitled to anything. But clearly Tesla had a decision here, and choose not to step up and show any gratitude to those that put a large sum of money down well before it was even clear they would be able to live up to the hype and deliver the Model S in 2012, let alone at all. It's clear you don't sympathize with early Sig reservation holders like I do, and will not see eye to eye here. So lets agree to disagree.
