Those weren't "preoders"; that was another Telsa lie that everyone repeated uncritically. People paid $100 dollars for reservations. That does not represent a firm commitment, nor the wherewithal, to purchase a 6-figure vehicle.

I’ll admit, I don’t know what the legal definition of “preorder” is. I’m just using the same term used in the article.
