MOTOR FINISHED AND RUNNING---With 10 being the point you thought this car was a go, when you first became interested, what is your number now?

Locked in at $7,350.00 plus taxes and fees which includes an Automatic Transmission and Cruz Control, for a $1,550.00 added lock in value above the $6,800.00 I signed up for. Don't understand all the fuss.
(all numbers based on current prices and an estimated value of $200 for the CC.)

#L2993OH L= Locked in OH= State

My # is 10

I'm still at 10 and I reserved at the $100 All In level on 3/1. It is going to take a lot more than a delay in production date to drop that. I am on a limited income and have already decided to set up a special savings account to start making "car payments" into so I am used to not having that money available for other things. And as I accumulate the necessary amount I will upgrade my reservation amount. I am convinced this car is going to happen and I am convinced it is an excellent choice for me. :-)

I'm all in at $100,But I am now in a holding pattern at 5. Was ready too shoot at $500 but I will wait till summer to see if it is delayed again. I want it so bad I can taste it. Already planing my spring of "15" USA tour AKA road trip.:(
All in on 2/7/14

I jumped in with an 8 and it is still and 8 for me. Delays are to be expected, I remember all the discussion of the Tesla S being vaporware for a long time. My concern is that this is different from Tesla in that Elon Musk had deep pockets, but this venture is just scraping by.

I ordered 22 days ago.

If when I went all in was a "10", then I guess I'd have to be at a "12" or so by now (meaning I think the chances of the car being made are greater now than when I put money down). Of course, maybe that just means I was a little more skeptical than most when I put my money in. Also, I've only put in $100 so far and probably won't up it until they have put some miles on an engine prototype. I wonder if when they close reservations they will have any period where they let those who have already gotten on the list have a chance to upgrade before they issue all the numbers.

I ordered on 2 Feb, so I guess that's about 34 days.

I was at the Phoenix, AZ showing and from what I gather, EM is pushing for June to do all the testing with the IAV engine in place because they know that I lot of potential owners are holding off to go all the way for 1K until they can post some real world numbers out there for everybody to see!;)

Now that I saw the P3 up close, I really like it better but it's about making the 84 mpg and I'm all for that so I have to compromise.:(
