Washington DC store had nearly 200 people at 10 AM; Bethesda MD had double.
I just ordered a Model 3 in Minneapolis. I got in line at 7:30 and was number 77. By 10:00 opening there were at least 400 people in line, many reserving 2 cars.
Line at Nashville Tennessee was about 50 people when I arrived 1 hour after they opened.

Line had evaporated when I left. I expect they will get a lunch time rush.
Scottsdale, AZ line got up to about 650 people by the time the doors opened. And there was a marriage proposal in the line (she said yes).
I feel all of this so unfair for all the…naysayers! :):):)
Colorado had hundreds of people. There were about 50 people at the main line inside, 15 at the line in front of the store on the lower level, and scads outside.

Thought I’d be smart and go to the Santana Row Tesla in Santa Clara, CA two hours after the store opened only to be the 331st in line. 90 minutes later, it took three minutes to reserve.
