On Tuesday, we saw the first sightings of Tesla addicts lining up in front of Tesla stores for the new Model 3 sedan, which will be the most affordable car Tesla has ever created.

It's now Thursday, pre-order day is here, and those addicts are more excited than ever.

Social media is blowing up with people from all over the world sharing pictures shots from their places in line. They haven't even seen what the car looks like yet or know the confirmed details of what it can do!

I'm not doubting Tesla on this one, but at least that $1,000 pre-order deposit is refundable.

Tesla will unveil the Model 3 on Thursday night. You better not let those line-goers down, Tesla!

Here in New York City, the Chelsea showroom has drawn a massive crowd.

Up in Calgary, Canada, Tesla fans claimed this mall as their temporary home.

These future Model 3 owners probably won't even see their cars for almost two years.
