And a lot of those pre-orders are people expecting to sell their slot later for a profit. It worked on the S, not so much on the Model 3 later in the run.
The old chassis electric thing is huge in California. There are a number of shops doing VW and 911 swaps. Wheeler Dealer used one of the shops for a Maserati years ago. Sold very well.
