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 :)

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

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.
