Why are they speculative fools ? They put $1000 down to secure a place in line and it is refundable. The car costs the same as the average new car (crazy!!) ! Very few people ordered 2 (which could be speculation or a big family). And the odds someone else will come out with a nicer electric car than the T3 before the T3 are high (that nose!!) ... Not much of a speculative gamble. They're close to 300K orders - respect ! They put a new market segment under the microscope.
I can see a situation: any commute < 300 miles (should cover a lot of people) where you want a car that, with the optional 2nd motor, can kill 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. I'd like that as a commuter... I can hear and enjoy my flat 6 on week ends only...
