I would only call it $10.5B in pre-orders if people paid the full price when they put a deposit. it is more like ~ $25M in deposits.

One follow up question to that would be what percentage of people who made a Model 3 reservation (the $14bn mentioned in the article) ended up not purchasing their vehicle, when their reservation rose to the top of the queue. I'm sure Tesla has good internal numbers tracking this, but whether it's the level of granular data that will make it into public reports for shareholders, that's another question.

Says 25% of Model 3 pre-orders were cancelled and the reservation fee for those was $1000.

Is there any other car in history that can claim anything like that?
