Massive Demand for Tesla Model 3
April 2nd, 2016
It’s 232,000 now.
Now 232k orders

Keep in mind, this is not like the Powerwall, where people just filled out a form indicating their interest.
With the Model 3, people have to pay Tesla a grand to be in the queue.

In the history of the automobile, this is definitely something we haven’t seen before.
Tesla has lifted the veil on its most important undertaking: the Model 3, a $35,000 car designed to bring electric vehicles and autonomous driving to the masses. By the looks of it, and the interest it’s attracting, it just might succeed.
On Thursday, Tesla raked in 134,000 reservations, each with a $1,000 deposit. And that was before most people saw the car—today, Chairman Elon Musk announced another 64,000 and counting. A little perspective on those numbers: There are now more reservations for the Model 3 than total sales of all previous Tesla cars combined. In the unlikely event that all the refundable deposits turn into deliveries, this would represent an almost $9 billion launch.
