Tesla Model 3 Fans Line Up at Santa Barbara Dealership

Tesla Motors haven’t unveiled its Model 3 yet, but it’s not stopping fans from lining up for reservations.

The Tesla Motors Dealership in Santa Barbara will open its doors at 9 a.m. on Thursday.

Model 3 fans have been lining up since Wednesday afternoon to put $1,000 deposits down to reserve the luxury vehicle.

Tesla Motors have not unveiled its newest and most affordable model. Its price range will begin around $35,000.

Mike Suding, a Santa Barbara resident, is camping outside the dealership.

“There’s two reasons. One is if we’re one of the first of two hundred thousand with Tesla, we get a rebate of $7,500. So that’s the monetary reason. I’m an adopter of technology and I want to drive it as soon as I can. I can drive to San Francisco and not have to charge, but once for lunch,” said Mike Suding.

Tesla Motors expects to beging production for the Model 3 in late 2017.
