115,000 pre-orders was so one hour ago.
At the Tesla event in Hawthorne, a massive screen in the main hall continued to tabulate the number of Model 3 pre-orders taken worldwide.
More than 115,000 when Musk began his presentation, it had hit 132,000 around 10 p.m. and was still climbing.

The Model 3 won't be delivered until late 2017 at the earliest, but a select few people got to take a ride in the new electric vehicle Thursday night.

By general agreement, the car is sleek, silent and smart-looking. A comfortable five-seater, it was roomy enough to fit a 6'3" driver and leave leg room for the 6' passenger behind him. The use of a single piece of glass to cover the rear seating area increased the roomy feeling.
