Tesla is allowing 2 preorders per person for the Model 3. I know several people in my line reserved 2. And the current owners in line

Placed reservations but probably won't actually order. They were showing support and hoping to boost the stock.

Responses:

Is that new? There were news stories of people pre-ordering like 5-10 cars -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 2, 17:58 1
- Possible. They could have put two in each family member's name. The reservations aren't transferable - TWuG Apr 2, 18:05
And everyone that waited in line is getting some kind of gift, according to Musk's twitter. -- nm - TWuG Apr 2, 16:36 7
- Still, at 100k cars per year some people won't see their model 3 until 2019 -- nm - decline Apr 2, 16:40 6
  - the factory that Tesla converted had the capacity for several hundred thousand when it was making car cars -- nm - the brain Apr 2, 17:23 4
    - Fremont, at peak, can build half a million a year. The Gigafactory needs to be at full capacity for ggat to happen, and won't be until 2020 - TWuG Apr 2, 17:43
    - The hold up is scaling battery production, which they haven't totally solved yet. -- nm - Reagen Apr 2, 17:40 2
      - i think this is why i'll probably hold out for a fuel cell. - the brain Apr 2, 17:44 1
        
        It'll be ages and ages if ever before there's a hydrogen distribution system to rival electricity. -- nm* - Reagen Apr 2, 17:51
  - Most likely. Hopefully mine is significantly sooner. -- nm - TWuG Apr 2, 17:21
