The deposit required can vary from dealer to dealer. There's one dealer near me doing $1500 deposits and another 10 miles away doing $500... that's the one I went with.
Enjoying a 2 day test drive in a Black Premium AWD with extended battery here in frigid MO. I wish the weather was better, but I'm still excited. Ordered this version with standard battery 2 weeks ago, so I know I have a wait ahead. I don't know why I torture myself like this!
