All of you will be getting the car earlier than the "public".

I do not know if this is a scam, but it seems that they are not very well coordinated/organized. By the way, I did not get anything, not even wait listed. This is nothing more than a bit more formalized version of pre-orders some of the people on this forum had already done. This is another desperate effort of keeping the hype up. My guess is that the first delivery date has been pushed back, so Toyota is trying to make the originally rumoured first delivery date (June, I believed) sound like an "early delivery date". I also find the number of sign-up's very underwhelming. Anybody who is "selected" has zero risk. The only thing is you have to have a $500 deposit to put down, but even that, you could pull out any time if you like. Yet, they got only 3,400 people signed up?
