the first three were presold. Which is kind of a surprise as he don’t know what the list price was going to be.
Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of folks lined up (and/or did it online?) to place their $1K "reservation" fee/deposit or whatever on a Model 3 before knowing the price ($35K, still doesn't exist :lol: ) nor even knowing anything about the car (e.g. range, what it'd look like, etc.). This is all before Elon's presentation even started.
One can infer roughly the price based upon the price difference in Europe and Japan of the 40 kWh cars there vs. e+.
