Weird. This is what I'm getting: "formattedDeposit" : "$1,500", "hamsterDeposit" : "$7,000", "hamsterFullDeposit": "$50,000", "hamsterTotal1" : "$261,000", "hamsterTotal2" : "$326,000",

looks like that's for en_AU, or Australia.

Yep, you're right :)

Curious what "hamster" means in this context.

Codename for venomous bats?!

Might be an internal name for the Semi, found another snippet in their javascript

product: "HAMSTER",

Instead of batteries, semi is powered by several hamsters on wheels.

Interestingly, I think Hamster actually ended up being the codename for the new Roadster, since it's listed with the prices mentioned above.

Note that these match up with the Roadster prices also announced today, so they might well simply be artefacts of a duplicated page.
