How's your line?

I went into the Houston - Galleria store at 2.30pm this afternoon to make my reservation. They said they had processed around 500 reservations up to that point. There were 2 other people making reservations at the time but I think they were walk-ins like myself.

We brought Model X to the St. Louis facility and the St. Louis Tesla Enthusiasts provided assistance and information to people in line. Line was wrapped around 4 times by the time the store opened. A streamlined process meant most were cleared by 1 pm with a steady trickle of people coming in.

Coverage of the St. Louis event on FOX 2 News - with a gorgeous view of Model X.

(Please excuse the bad sound and cooking in the background, it's recorded from my TV...)

I laughed at their use of the Radio Flyer Model S for Kids... but hey...

Re: Bellevue store:

Took 3 1/2 hours of waiting in the queue to book. Still had a couple of hundred people behind me when I came out. Probably the longest queue in the country.

I stopped by at 9:15am, expecting to see a line of maybe 30 and saw the huge line. I just took some pictures of the line and left. I came back at 3pm and only had to wait a minute or so. After registering, I asked them how long the line had been and they told me Bellevue had set the US record with over 1000 people.

I believe Los Angeles is competing with Bellevue for that record.

Was at Burlingame, arrived at 9:30 AM, line was 300 person deep, but the time I got to the front of the line, I'd estimate another 200 behind me. So probably hit 500.

Did you guys see the google spreadsheet (link) with all the line sizes and current queues?

Personally, the PASC location was empty and I was able to walk straight to an iPad to make my reservation. Ain't no one got time for those long lines in the morning.

Here is what San Diego looked like

Probably 500 people at Pasadena, CA when it opened and the line wasn't a whole lot shorter when I left at 1 pm.

Here is Montréal, Canada, hundreds of people under heavy rain!

Mercedes empoyes where surprised by the flood of people...

Spent 4 hours in the Walnut Creek line today, 10-2. Happy to be a (very) small part of what I hope will be remembered as a historic day.
A friend who stood in line with me made the evening news!

For those who decided to not wait in line today ...
Just a reminder that you don't have to wait till 8:30 PST, on-line reservations start at 7:30 PST

I did a drive by at the Rocklin Ca Tesla store about 11:30am & there were 100's of people in line. But when I went back at about 4:30pm today & there was no line, I went right in and ordered......I'm In!

Let's be honest, most people that live in Palo Alto that want a Tesla already have one, except for maybe some of the students

The truth ... the Tesla Model S is referred to as the Palo Alto Camry!

At what time did you get to the front?

Same experience at Corte Madera, CA around 3pm. Only 1 other person there making a reservation when I arrived. In and out in 5 min!

This got to be the world's longest line. San Diego peaks well over 1000 people.

What time did you get in line? I was there in KC as well.....I got there at 4am!

Greetings! While tempting to join the reservation queue, I had just bought a Model S a few weeks prior, so while I may eventually buy a Model 3, I didn't reserve one. However, I couldn't help at least investigating to see how things were going the day reservations opened. I hope you get a great car, and that it doesn't take too long. Welcome to the forums.

Anyone in Orlando invited to configure yet? I have ownership priority, came around 8 AM and think I may have been #40 in line, still awaiting invite...

Now there's a thread I haven't seen in a long time. A long time...
