If I'm reading the 'buy' page correctly, this is in fact only $10k in deposits with $190k in commitments at an unknown future time, similar to Tesla reservations.

A bit different than $200k in hard sales. Actually for $10k you may as well buy your own reservations just for the marketing value of "$200k in sales"

That sounds like what the production company for the movie _Unsubscribe_ did four months ago to 'top the US box office' [0] by buying out / sponsoring all their showings and then trying to resell the tickets themselves. Because of the way the sales are reported and the limited viewership then and now, they got to claim a headline.
