    I'm in for the Tesla 3! I put my deposit in on-line. I'm too old to stand in line just to be the first kid on the block to have one!

    I love the lines of the car, but I don't know about that "grill"! Looks like a job for the SoCal Prinuts mod squad!

    Guess no one knocked at their store since they give out bad candies. So we all lined up next door that is giving what we wanted.

    I succumbed (no idea if I'll be able to eventually afford it, but I have great credit? :|). I was in line with about 200 in Las Vegas.

    The Tesla club is soon to become much bigger. I'm in...for the wait! Here's to Elon and the way to sustainable transport. Quite a day (and days ahead) for Tesla. I couldn't be any more excited!

    Greetings, fellow new Tesla fiend. The only positive is my <48k mile Prius C is free and clear. I've got to cut expenses to make this work, as the Model 3 will be the most expensive vehicle I've ever fathomed purchasing.

    I'm in. Reserved in store so I'm in the 115000. I'd rather have a Leaf 2.0, we'll see

    Good news is they're doubling up on service stations by the time the thing delivers, I do believe.

    Funny our resident Toyota fan boy has not come and say this is a failure yet. Explain something like too expensive, can't drive miles on 1 charge, can't charge in 5 minutes, and need battery swap from dead battery.

    I'm in. I would guess about 250K people ahead of me. Maybe I will get a generation two!

    Same here! Mine didn't come in until nearly 30 hours after reservation, but credit card charge showed up right away, and it showed on the MyTesla portal this morning. I'm wondering if there's a chance I'll be able to get the full tax credit since I got my reservation in before 10am (luckily my store opened at 9am) and I'm in California, but my hopes are low :( Definitely a huge day for Tesla with over a quarter million reservations! I wonder how many years it would take to even go through a queue that long for them.

    Hydrogen fanboy is more likely the intention.
