Tesla Model 3 Hits Production

Those employees are still paying their own personal money for the car. They're as much "real customers" as you or me.

I suspect they're not paying what customers will pay and they're likely to be leases since they're effectively pre-production models and you'd have to be a big knucklehead to bet on the resale value of a pre-production Model 3.

Tesla offers zero employee discounts on their cars. Even Musk pays full price, on principle.

I imagine the value of a pre-production Model 3 will be quite good in ten years. Look at what the iPhone (original release) is worth. Or perhaps a Ford Model T?
