I don't see how a Ponzi scheme involving paying to reserve a future product is even possible. One of us does not understand what "Ponzi scheme" means.

Then it’s not really a Ponzi scheme. Those crash under their own weight pretty quickly. Not just because of govt intervention.

The Roadster is about marketing as racing is to every other car manufacturer.
They do not need the measly deposits for this car to sustain Tesla, not even close.
