Just because the Brits are renowned for queuing skills! Tesla have confirmed to some owners in the Facebook Group that orders can be taken from 9am 31st March. My closest store is Cribbs in Bristol and they only open the gates to the car park from 9am (although I could walk around from the SupC entrance, but the main Mall doors might not even be open). I was going to do it online, but might pop to the store on opening - they are good guys and I like to pop in now and again. I do not really need a Model 3, but our 2011 Leaf will be getting on by 2018 and having a 2nd car that can cover decent distances when my Model S is likely to be stuck waiting for spare parts for weeks on end is attractive.
