Andreas Stephens from Sydney, Australia was the first person reported in line to reserve the Tesla Model 3 in store a whole 2 days before the doors open, but now that we are about 24 hours away from Tesla accepting reservations for its $35,000 long-range vehicle, we are starting to get reports of lines and tents at Tesla stores around the world.

Tesla will take reservations when the stores open during local business hours – you can check your local store business hours here. Online reservations will start at 8:30pm (3:30am UTC) at the same time that the livestream of the event will start.

A $1,000 deposit is required in the US and Tesla published the list of currency amount per country. Surprisingly, it requires only a $1,000 CAD deposit in Canada despite the very weak Canadian dollar, which could encourage people to go ahead and place a deposit especially since it’s refundable.

It seems to already have an effect as we see two tents already set up in front of the Tesla Montreal store and a line in front of the Vancouver store:
