The deposit for a Model 3 is $1,000.

But the article isn't about offering deposits. It's about ordering.

Yes, I read the article. It was extremely unclear what you were asking, and it's definitely not the case that a full payment is required.

The order requires a $2,500 payment, not the full price.

Ah, thank you. I see now there are better articles. I'll update the original comment.
