News Flash: March 31 2015

just checked, I didn't get a copy of this email .... in theory it must be one directed at folks who don't have an made a reservation

Yep what he ^^ said.

They use the term "place in line". Is that the same thing as "spot in line"? I will assume it is.

They say the person will receive "An official place in line as one of 39,000+ reservation holders for as little as $100".

Currently, only $1000 all-in people receive a spot in line. $100 all-in people do not. However, when the reservation period ends, the list is frozen and all all-in people are ranked and receive a spot in line. Does this mean the reservations end March 31, 2015? That is the only way I can see a $100 all-in person receiving a spot in line March 31, 2015.

Off course, I also analyze everything to death.

'Place in line' and 'spot in line' are two different things.

Everyone with a reservation has a 'place in line' as no matter what your reservation amount or type is you are in the line. Conversely If you do not have a reservation then you are not in the line thus you do not occupy a 'place in line'.

All-In $1000 reservation holders not do merely occupy just any 'place in line' but instead are assigned a specific 'spot in line' and can not be bumped down the line.

Is it not also true, that when the first "batch" of reservations "close"-,everyone could (If EM wanted to share) know their spot in line?

Yes, that is what has been said.

Okay, I may have missed a thread that covered this, but when EM starts production in earnest, and Elios are flying out the factory door, does the "promotion" end? Or could someone that didn't have a all-in or want-in the entire time just plop down 1k, and get bumped up past the people that have had reservations (other than 1k all-in) all this time?

 

[JEBar]

as best I an recall, it has been posted that EM plans to cut off the first year reservations sometime prior to going into production .... at that time the production order will be determined .... that isn't to say more could be added but any added would come after orders for folks with a reservation have been filled .... what could happen is on the last day they take reservations someone can put down $1,000 (or whatever) and to the bottom of that category, above those on the list with a reservation of a lesser amount

Hummm. I think that the day before they "close the door" if someone came in w/ 1k all in, they would be the last to get a number and T, but ahead of ALL others. I'm thinking that the first in, after the list is closed, and all future reservationists will be -first come first serve, without the current incentive and safe "ins" and perhaps something like a 1k deposit

hopefully, someone who knows for sure will respond .... if someone puts in a $1,000 ($500 or whatever) today, they would go to the bottom of the list in that category .... that could/would put them ahead of all others in lesser categories, regardless of how long ago they made their reservation .... so far as I know that same process will be in effect until the close of 1st year reservations

Yep, only you said it more clearly than I
