EDIT: Found a live stream on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FLSxJjdnLU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FLSxJjdnLU Also, I made a reservation at the Fremont factory today. Took around 15 mins including line, but I went in around 10:30-11am. I'd estimate there were around 600 people before me in the morning. Fairly certain they will hit 100k before the stream starts.

That's a really fast line! I went to the Burlingame shop at 8:30am (they open at 10am) and it was almost noon when I finished.

He announced 115,000 reservations before the stream began. That's $115m spent on a product no one had seen. Crazy.

  The car looks comparable to a Honda CRZ or a Toyota Prius (or a Subaru BRZ). They should have gone with the small-sedan form factor, but I think they believe it will cannibalize Model S sales.

    > "for a luxury car" Since when is a car under 35K is considered luxury?
    - jd20 11y ago
      It's all relative. I think many would consider a $35k BMW a "luxury" in comparison to a $15k Honda.
      - usaphp 11y ago
        Ok, if they consider $35K BMW a luxury car, then how would they call a $90K Porshe? Or $300K Rolls-Royce?

        Probably "luxury car."

        They are luxury cars too. Luxury cars are those over the average income, basically.

        I would call the Porsche a mid-size luxury car [0] and the rolls-royce a full-size luxury care [0] and the BMW maybe an entry-level luxury car. I don't know if I agree with the naming conventions but it seems appropriate when coupled with the article on wiki [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_classification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_classification

Elon noted that they got more than 115,000 orders so far.

I was at Fremont at 0450, number 35 or so in line (there were tents of people ahead, was hard to count). Had my car reserved by 1007. 5h well spent.
