    - Crappy things happen to good people and it's easy to forget our impact on others as David said. Plus it denies Potter what he wants most in life - spamlet Dec 21, 11:22

Legitimate Tesla question since I work in supply chain and words mean things. If Tesla is built to order, how is there a backlog that needs discounts - Will Hunting Dec 21, 10:47 12
- The backlog is across all markets. The incentives are market specific. -- nm - TWuG Dec 21, 10:58 8
  - It's also worth noting that the incentives are meant to keep the lines running at capacity, not to keep them at break even - TWuG Dec 21, 11:08

- There are reservations but you are not committed to buy (but I believe you lose the deposit). -- nm - spamlet Dec 21, 10:51

- I’ve seen 75, it’s a pretty typical list. The only surprise in the top 50 is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre -- nm - Roger More Dec 21, 10:37
