Model 3 Unveiling and Reservation

[salamagd]

I'm gonna head to Richmond on Thursday morning Hope the queues aren't too crazy!

 

[salamagd]

Looks like the queueing has already started, haha...

Meet the first person in the queue for a Tesla Model 3 in Australia

 

[MangroveMike]

A bit keen!

I think I might order from the comfort of my keyboard.

 

[meloccom]

I've taken Thursday off to turn up early at St Leonards.
If the queue stretches out the gates and down Frederick street, I might just go for a drive in the Golden Pony and order on-line.

I'd be tempted to go to Richmond for the experience if I didn't have meetings Thursday morning. In practical terms though no Aus owner can be more than number 800 or so in the queue no matter what so hardly much advantage in rocking up compared to online.

There's always bragging rights

 

[paulp]

Given tesla are threatening to make 500,000 of these each year, at 365 day manufacture thats some 1300 per day, so lining up probably wont achieve a whole lot, but being the first one not to fit on the first boat would be a bummer if you lined up.

Just went past St Leonards and couldn't believe there was someone already there! Amazing.
Might have to take him some food...

 

[paulp]

Wonder if he realises model s current owners jump the que

Wonder if he realises model s current owners jump the que

Yes, he knows. There's an article about him in the News section.

I wonder if they will have the Livestream up on the TV in the Tesla Owners Lounge in Richmond?

Maybe if you go 2:30pm on Friday! I'll be watching from my office with reservation slip in hand

I'll be watching from my office with my mouse in hand!!

 

[Kurt Foster]

I wonder why they want people in-store?, after all this is a company that insisted I purchase on-line and not in-store. Maybe they figure its a sales opportunity on S and X?

You can order in store before online reservations start... I think.

IF you want to see a live countdown timer to MODEL 3: HERE IT IS!!!

 

[houdini]
