Salt Lake City will be accepting Model 3 deposits

[Patrick W]

Despite the Salt Lake City Tesla store still not being able to sell new cars they will be accepting deposits on Model 3 on 31 March from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Unfortunately they will probably not be open during the official "unveil" as they think that will happen after they close.

From an email I just received:

Model 3 reservations will open in Tesla stores on March 31 at 10am PST, as well as online immediately when the event (which will also be accessible via a live stream) begins.

The event begins at 19:00, but I think the live stream doesn't start till 20:30.

Let's hope that the cops don't show up and spoil the party.

When I visited the store last week I saw a police car in the parking lot. "Oh great!" I thought. Figured they were there complaining.

Happily when I asked someone on staff he said the cop was interested in buying a Tesla and was there for a test drive.

Thanks for the news. Any link available? I was just browsing the Utah threads, and the "Salt Lake City" store turmoil thread said the store was NOT going to be able to accept deposits.

No link but I just stopped by there to confirm. They said they will be taking deposits from 11 to 6. Added that they expect a line at the door so could be a fun day.

BTW, I left there a few minutes ago and am now at the new service center which opened today. Looks very nice. Will post a couple of video tonight.

Whats the location on the new service center?

As I suspected, no problems with taking reservations due to licensing as a "dealership" across the U.S. From the reservation agreement, "This Agreement does not constitute the sale of any vehicle."

Oh, that could actually turn out to be free publicity.
