Yes, there are 10,000 people on a waiting list for the Solar Roof. It's not that people don't want to buy it, Tesla just isn't currently fulfilling orders.

EDIT: 11,000 reservations through May 2018 according to Bloomberg, currently it’s $1,400 to reserve.

Can you please provide a source for that. That sounds like material information, but I couldn't find any mention of this in their last quarterly report.

Quoting - On the other hand, Tesla had received about 11,000 customer orders for Solar Roof by May, a backlog that was both encouraging and daunting.

Has there been a down payment associated with getting on the waiting list?
