Portugal and Ireland will begin taking pre-orders as of today, taking a €300 (~$390) refundable deposit as part of the process. Pre-ordering in the UK will begin on September the 1st. So far, there are 12,000 "hand-raisers" in Europe. They will get test drives in December, at which point they can decide whether to order or not. If not, they will receive their €300 deposits back.
