    Look at those old Caucasians.

    Also hearing the crazies are starting to line up in CA to wait overnight.

    The first pic looks like an audition to be a Japanese avatar on Douche Bag Beach Club.

    Those photos could be a little misleading since Tesla only has one store in those countries. Hopefully with more stores in the US there won't be too big of a line. Got any pictures of Houston and Dallas?

    Line has grown to over 100 but finally moving.

    Reeko, the key word is refundable.

    TSLA owners are :grin: I wonder how high it can go if the launch is successful which it looks like it will be.

    People won't though. These Teslas are like iPhones now a days. They could literally look like homer's concept car and people will still keep them because of the status of owning a Tesla.

    I don't really car either way since it's good for the renewable energy cause.

    They started the preorders? I thought they weren't going to start until 11am Houston time.

    Fugg that. If its not functional for me or its a hideous creature. I'm getting my deposit back. I lose nothing more than an hour of my time in line.

    Started at 10 when the shop opened.

    How was the deposit process? Do you get to pick options or is it a straight deposit?

    Name, email address, phone number and credit card. Takes 2 minutes in and out. Options are picked when you configure the car and pay in full(or cancel), a couple of months before production begins.


    Nope. We will find out tonight at 830pm Pacific.
