If you believed Musk, you knew that you'd be getting your car sometime in 2018 because of the 10,000 a week that he'd be building. In which case, there isn't really any need to be at the front of the line for one.

But if you knew that was BS and it would be a couple extra years (on top of the wait for the start of production) before you got your car ... why not just keep the cash yourself?

I think some of that had to do with qualifying for the federal tax credit. You had to beat a certain deadline to qualify for it. It only applied to a certain number of cars each year....Something like that, not sure.
