Just for an FYI; in 2013 (or was that 2012?) when they started taking deposits; there were some people that wanted to do a "Paid in Full" reservation; EM wouldn't take it. It has always been that $1K was the max amount that Paul and EM would allow.
Why that is; you'd have to talk to Paul and ask him.
It makes sense that they would not do a "Paid In Full" since they still do not know what the final base price will be, and then the options on top of that. I like the idea of just socking away a little each month in a savings account that gets interest, or split that into savings and stock.
