Is it possible that individuals who reserved Model 3 online immediately after the reveal are getting priority over individuals who waited in line at Tesla stores to reserve Model 3 hours earlier?
The latest episode of Talking Tesla (episode 116) indicates that this may be the case, as Robert (line stander) has not received an invitation to configure his Model 3 while Mel and Tom (both online reservations) have. Robert, Mel, and Tom all live in Southern California, and all three are current Tesla owners. Of the three, only Robert stood in line at a Tesla store to reserve his Model 3 sight unseen. Tom and Mel waited for the reveal later that night, and then hours after Robert had placed his reservation in person, Tom and then Mel made their reservations online.
I wonder if Tesla somehow misplaced the list of people who waited in line so early in the morning to reserve the Model 3. Or has it always been the case that Tesla intended to give no additional priority to line standers? This would seem odd because those of us who stood in line to reserve Model 3 sight unseen were giving the company a real vote of confidence.
