Tesla Model III preorders have started

I lined up this morning at the burlingame, ca store and pre-ordered 2.

Showed up at 8am and there were already ~170 people in front of me.

Store opened at 10am and I got my reservations down at 11:20am, moved pretty fast actually.

Just awesome. No need for a vehicle right now, but definitely planning on a Tesla Model 3 (or whatever follows it) if it turns out to be as well done as the model s/x.
 
I had thoughts about doing a deposit as insurance against it being awesome, but it's not worth standing in line for.

I may well regret this in the morning though, if the rumored specs turn out to be correct.

I would also want the crossover version which by all accounts is not what we are seeing tonight, so there is that as consolation.

Viper GTS

Crazy. Never thought I'd see people literally lining up to "buy" a car. Is there a deposit required?

after 200K cars delievered by Tesla the 7,500 federal rebate phases out. if not for this I wouldn't have lined up. They have delivered 80K(?) already and ppl calculated the cap will be hit early 2018

Deliveries are prioritized west to east coast and then by 1. existing owners 2. timestamp of deposit.
 
I'd be interested, but I need to see it first. I'm thinking about adding a second car next year.

I haven't seen any leaks. Pretty remarkable that they have kept it under wraps this close to showing it. Makes me think they are just going to show renderings.

Reveal is at 8.30pm PDT.

Me thinks you might be wrong. :sneaky:

After his remarks, attendees can take test drives in Model 3, Model S and Model Xs on hand for the event.

I think I saw it the other day. I first thought it was an X, and then thought it was too short to be CUV, and rather sedan like. But I've been wrong before.

I would cross shop the Bolt, to be honest.
 
I think electric cars are getting close now. Not much longer before they hit mass production. We just need these big asian companies to start producing in bulk (and have the range of the tesla cars)
 
Online is opened up now. I gave my credit card and it took it successfully but I have yet to get the confirmation email back.

Anybody else booked online?
 
Just booked online too. I am a current Tesla Model S owner so it will be interesting to see where I fall in the assembly line.

And now I'm in.

I don't think I'm going to pre-order, though. I just recently picked up a Model S, so I don't feel I need to get in line on the Model 3, but I am very excited about it. I am going to watch the reveal.
