Just over 3 hrs! Got a growing line in Dedham

 

[Bimbels]

Line around the building now!

I forgot how good that was - especially the string of "I don't care"

Reserving something without even seeing it just made me think of this... Don't worry y'all the wife is putting down a deposit on the 3.

About forty people at Hingham by 10am. I was about number 20. Done in 10 minutes.

Got to Dedham around 9:30am... about a 100 people (rough count) by the time we were there... We left at 11:30am, and the line was still back to the corner of the building.
Matt B also mentioned there were like 400 people before opening at Natick. Anyone able to confirm? That is just crazy! Also, he heard there could have been over 10k reservations before our stores even opened (Europe, Asia, Australia, etc.). I'm guessing at least another 10k in US.

I got to Natick around 6:45 and was already ~30th.
Last I heard, it was at ~200 by 9:45...could have been more, as the end wrapped around the corner and out of our sight.

Omg...... I was gunna go to Dedham this afternoon...

There's almost nobody left at Dedham anymore. I just left there an hour ago and there were less than 30 people there.

ncredibly inspired by the interest in Model 3. You won't be disappointed. Also, small token of appreciation coming for those who lined up.

What do you think "small token of appreciation" is?

Just placed my deposit! Any of you guys get a confirmation email already?

Not yet. Placed the deposit 5 hours ago

I placed mine this morning as well, no line thank god. Like most of you, I was worried about not receiving an e-mail confirmation as well but confirmed with a rep, saying that we should receive e-mails within 24hours. I'm assuming we won't receive anything until Elon's unveiling tonight.

No confirmation email, nothing in my existing MyTesla account. Credit card charge went through OK. I reserved at 10:45 in Natick.

 

[aronth5]

I'm not going to either place, but Dedham is likely to be more fun because *everyone* there is going to be excited about Tesla. OTOH, at Natick it'll be easier to do snack runs.

And at Hingham, less hectic but don't let anyone else know that ok?

Robert thanks for not spreading the word about Hingham. It was a short line this morning unlike the other Mass stores

And I have received my Reservation Number in My Tesla account.

TGA must have been a few ahead of me in line. I reserved my pair of 3's in Natick just before 11AM.

I didn't get an email until just before the 11:30 reveal. It wasn't until sometime this morning that MyTesla has my reservation numbers in there.

Hi djpolong, in your e-mail, did you get an actual reservation number by chance? I'm assuming only previous owners get reservation numbers? Since it's my 1st Tesla vehicle, it looks like I only received a reservation confirmation without any reservation number. Bummer

Curious to see what everyone thought about the unveiling last night? Worth waiting in line? IMO, absolutely I think this is going to be a game changer and am glad to have been involved in the process!
