When & Where? Your Model 3 In-Store Reservation Plans..

[graphix25]

Are you sure the mall will be open early on 3/31? I dug around for a while on Google, and found several sources saying the mall opens early (8am) only on Monday/Wednesday/Friday. 3/31 falls on a Thursday. It may not open until 9:30am. I'm planning to be there just before then.

If you ask the Tesla store folks they say they have heard as early as 6am. Info desk at the mall said 8am. Whatever they have done at mall in the past may change anyways for the special day. I will be there early, hang out and hope to be first or second in line. Not asking for much.

Charlotte NC. There is currently a meetup scheduled for 7:30 that morning.

Either the Burbank or Pasadena locations.

Not sure if I'm just going to go right before work, or get there earlier in the morning. Will have to do some recon work the night before.

Wonder if Tesla twitter will show lines?

I'll be heading to the Mt. Kisco store in New York, probably get to the store between 11 and 12.

This article states: You can order one of two ways -- on Tesla's website, or in person at a Tesla store. Tesla spokeswoman Khobi Brooklyn told us that online reservations open up at 8:30 p.m. Pacific on March 31, and in-person reservations start earlier that day, at 10 a.m. Pacific.
Not sure where they got that from but if true means we down under can order online on the 1st April at 2:30pm which is 8:30pm Pacific.

Here's how you can order a Tesla Model 3 - Roadshow

Honestly it's a toss up between NY & NJ.. Shorthills or Brooklyn.

There are two Tysons locations. One is a Gallery the other is a Store+Service Center. I tried calling the gallery but no one answered. The store did, they said reservations at 1. Luckily they are like 10 minutes away from each other.

I was at the Tysons Gallery in the mall yesterday and the Tesla Rep. told me both locations (Gallery & Store/Service Center) would be accepting reservations at 1. I'm assuming very few non-owners know about the Service Center, so I'll be going there to reserve on the 31st.

I just realized we'll be on a road trip on the 31st. I mean, I knew that, but we usually stop at the superchargers at Paramus NJ around lunchtime and the implications of doing this on the 31st just hit me. I doubt we'll be able to stay there long enough to make a deposit, but I really hope we won't have to wait for a supercharger, since we're going BOS->DC. I think we'll be testing the online reservation system.

I'm debating between Rocklin and Walnut Creek, CA. I'd almost prefer be at one with a bit more activity/excitement as the experience is important as well as getting an early reservation. I have too much paid leave at work and rarely have a better excuse to burn some.

I'm assuming very few non-owners know about the Service Center, so I'll be going there to reserve on the 31st.

Yeah, I'm thinking that as well - less exposure and there's two mall stores nearby to absorb more people. Also, maybe more employees/computers to order from, so things might move more smoothly. I had actually first assumed only the store would take reservations based on the Tweet that said "stores" instead of just "locations", so I went to Telsas's site and found the service (non gallery) location; but I didn't think a lot of people will make that mistaken assumption.

Plus, if I get there early, there's no stress about which mall entrance they open first. I picture people literally racing to the mall stores.

Will be at Montreal store. Haven't decided yet whether to go down late on the 30th or early on the 31st....

Not fond of camping out in a parking lot.

Charlotte NC. There is currently a meetup scheduled for 7:30 that morning.

So, I'm not the only crazy person in Charlotte that planned on being there early.

I'm teaching a class to my improv troop the night of the 30th and planned on swinging by to see if anyone was camping out. If they were, I'd likely join them.

I'm going to the Indy store. I wasn't going to go initially, but after the test drive this weekend, I'm going as soon as I can get out of work. Hopefully get my reservation in before online ordering starts!

 

[Hugh Mannity]

Am planning to drop by local store at/around 1000 and reserve too.

I'm showing up at the Cleveland, OH store at about 10:30 AM. I was there to test drive the Model S over the weekend (big mistake.. now I'm obsessed.) They said they're expecting a crowd and will close the store at noon, then re-open at 1 PM, and start taking deposits.

Some of you have already done this, but for those who haven't, please also enter your reservation plan on the google spreadsheet below which may make planning easier for next week reservation line up:

Thanks.

I'll be going to the store in Cincinnati, OH. Planning to arrive between 9am-10am.

 

[EfficientWatts]

Have some vacation time to use, so taking Thursday off and heading to the Houston Galleria "gallery" to pre-order. I don't have to be first-first in line so not looking to get there absurdly early but tentatively aiming for 10am or so (after the bad Houston traffic around 610 has died out)

Happy anniversary everyone!

Well, happy anniversary again!
