Dual Motor reservation holders, still a buyer at $59,900?

[optimusprem]

QUESTION: I think I read here that if Tesla tells you it's delivery time for you, and you reply that you're not quite ready to buy, your place goes to the next one on the list. What if they offer you, say, a three motor, and you reply that you'll wait for a one- or two-motor version? Would you keep your place? Anybody know?

I don't think anyone knows except for maybe insiders/employees. In my case price is king, and if I can't afford a 3 motor I won't get it. I'll hold on until I can get a dual motor long range even if it's 6 months later. But if even that is too much I'll start looking for another option.

Based on previous launches (and they do not necessarily have to follow the same protocols), when "your number is called", you will have the option to Order any of the currently available configurations. If you do not wish to continue at that time, you can wait (for the single motor, or Quad Plaid, or until you save more money, etc). They will continue to sell trucks, and you can decide to jump into the queue at any point thereafter as your status or the offered trucks change, or of course you can cancel and ask for your refund.

They'll give you an array of choices. If you don't respond, yes, they'll look for someone else who can respond.

But some of those choices won't be available today, and will put you in a different queue...

At some point if you delay too many times without confirming a truck, they'll cut you off. But by that time, they'll have gone through everyone who was at a specific price point with you. They did this to the Model Y reservation holders who were hoping to keep that low, locked in price, for a RWD version that was long delayed.
