My main question is, “are there any production, marketing, sales (government assistance) or tax credit incentives that affect these 325,000 orders?”
Without subsidies from taxpayers, this company would never have existed. I do not believe that Tesla has ever turned a profit yet its CEO has made millions.

Someone got beat with the stupid stick. Bad.
Where are the current lithium deposits? Chile? Is mining creating pollution with heavy metals and so forth?
Many of those pre orders (totalling a third of a billion dollars interest-free loan) are speculative, intending to buy early and sell early to late buyers.
At the 215-300 mile range it’s still a bad deal unless you live in the city.
Wait until the di-lithium crystals become prevalent =. Never refuel again!
Hmmm. Don’t lithium batteries heat up and explode? Yes, they do.....and I speak from personal experience! ;-)
Hmmmm...research lithium futures.
