G1, while that makes sense and that is the way I interpreted it also I still don't understand how that will work for the line? So you saying that every time a person jumps out of line the are going to go through the hassle of sending every reservation following a new line position? So if the 60 people in front of me back sell out I have number 1 all of a sudden? Just seems like a simple line sitter scenario. Fella sells his position for a value + or minus and the line keeps moving. As long as others are not moved Back (line cutting) I don't see why this would matter to Elio or the buyers? I to am prepared to buy out a few antsy folks and possibly hedge my bet but not if EM can't formalize this change.
The truth is that our reservation numbers may mean something to us however they really do not mean much to EM. EM calla this process "your place in line" and that is essentially what is happening. EM has a list of people who are all-in 1K, and as there is no line cutting at all, if someone drops out EM scratches a line through the name and life continues on.
Once production begins EM will simply go down the list of people and offer you a vehicle. When that happens each person with have to decide whether to purchase the vehicle, defer the decision, or walk away. Due to this system your actual build number will very likely slide forward, possibly by a good bit.
What EM wants to try and prevent is speculative investors from buying reservations with no intention of actualy buying the vehicles themselves. EM is doing this not necessarily because they care if reservation holders sell their vehicles but instead because a reservation system full of actual interested buyers, and not being artificially inflated by investors willing to walk away, is a very valuable selling point when seeking investors.
