    I suspect that sales in Japan will ramp up faster once they get closer to delivery date - I assume that these are real orders and not $99 placeholders like they are doing in the US...

    I'd still LOVE to know what the $99 U.S. totals are so far.

    Do they give you anything now for your $99, like a coffee mug that says
    "Leaf" on one side and "F___ OPEC" on the other side?

    If I recall correctly, the $99 gives you the limited number of "early adopter" in specific US test markets and the installation of the "charging station" for free if you've decided to finalize the purchase.

    I am not 100% sure, but I think I read about this benefit somewhere.
