Tesla fans really are as crazy as Apple fans

Few companies can get people to line up for a product that doesn't exist yet.

Apple is one of them. (There are plenty of examples of people lining up for the latest iPhone before Apple even unveils it.)

Tesla seems to be the only other.

Here's a photo of people lining up to reserve the Tesla Model 3 in Australia that was tweeted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk:

We won't even know what the Model 3 looks like until 11:30 p.m. Eastern Thursday during Tesla's big unveiling. But there is a lot of hype around this car. Tesla has already said it'll start at $35,000, which is significantly cheaper than the $100,000 or so you can expect to drop on the Model S sedan. And down payments start at just $1,000.

The bad news? You'll have to wait until next year for your Model 3 to ship.
