Correct and correct. And not every manufacturer does this, by the way. The price/specs of the EV I pre-ordered (Volkswagen) did not change much by the time I purchased it.

Yeah, I'm aware. Tesla should at minimum be legally required to pay interest to anyone who requests a refund.

I'll elaborate more: yes, because with a million plus deposits at such a low absolute dollar amount, certainly a significant portion of those are going to cancel. The ~15-25% of cumulative interest, while probably not that meaningful to each individual reservation holder, will add up in aggregate, and will hopefully act to disincentivize Tesla from making false claims about its future products again.

I'd be extra pleased if the FTC issued a fine in conjunction with the above, for false advertising.

The Volvo I ordered over a year ago has gone down in price and up on features, according to the spec sheet released today.
