I guess beauty is subjective...? But putting aside your schoolyard insults to whoever you were arguing with, I gotta agree with that poster. Honda Fit is not the most aesthetically pleasing car.

Guys, tonight I preordered a car. Now I can cross that one off the bucket list.

I love it! I've had it for 7 months now and don't regret getting it at all. It's very zippy and maneuvers like a dream because of the skinny tires. Speaking of those, you get used to them super fast. I wouldn't want to hit a deep pothole, but the car feels extremely stable and the ride is smooth even on the 20" sport tires.
The fit and finish is great whether on the lower or higher trims. The wood in the Tera World trim is gorgeous in person paired with the brown leather. Their are plant fibers throughout the dashboard plastics to give it a unique texture, and lots of visible carbon fiber when you open the doors.
Interior rear legroom is no doubt limited in comparison with the Tesla, but it really isn't bad, and headroom is great. Front leg/headroom is great and the car feels very spacious.
My favorite thing is the strong (more so than the Tesla, so I hear) regenerative breaking. It feels very weird the first few times driving it, but I wouldn't want to go back. It makes my city commutes much better without the constant pedal switching.
The range is lacking in comparison to a Tesla, but if you are using it within the city mostly, I think it's fine, especially if you can charge at your house. I got the range extender model as a safety net. I love that it doesn't operate as a hybrid, and simply uses the gas engine as a generator if the charge gets too low, so it has only ever turned on 3-4 times in my time owning the car.
I know I probably sound like a salesman, but I really do love the car. I suggest a test drive, because the regenerative braking isn't for everybody.

Pre-Ordered. I will have a Tesla 3, someday.....
I haven't gotten one and I got a reservation at the Tesla service center here this morning. The charge is pending on the card, though.

Tesla using Flash for their live stream. Dear God. No. Not like this Elon. Not like this.

Reserved mine around 3 pm Pacific time, haven't gotten one yet either
view it in safari, html5 goodness.
I think Mazda 3 proportions are more likely. Hoping not.
I wonder what the resale market will be for reservation spots...... might be a worthwhile investment for that alone if you don't end up wanting the car
You can sell it back to Tesla for $1000!
FUK YEAH RESERVED
Do you have to confirm your reservation online?
Edit: Oh, looks like reservations are now available online.
I currently drive a Mazda 3.. I'm hoping its SLIGHTLY bigger, but otherwise that's perfect for me.
Yeah see it pending already
You just completed the pre-order online? I assume you did not visit a Tesla showroom today.
Yep - showed up as pending less than a minute after I finished reserving.

We've already been through this a dozen times already inside this thread. The answer is yes.

The reservations are non-transferable.
True, more likely. Although I have a hunch it could be in between Mazda 3 and Mazda 6.
11:30pm EST
Yep. If it ends up being extremely underwhelming then the deposit is refundable.

What's the anticipated rollout?

1st orders will probably be dropping in Late 2017
None. I absolutely love it. Got the Quattro Sports package. Drives like a dream, much better than the similarly priced 2 series and CLA250. Great pick up, drives fantastically in the snow, and pretty good on gas.
Seriously considering just buying it outright when my lease is up, but I need the business write off so I'll probably lease again.
Bah. If it really impresses I'll figure out transportation in the interm and grab one.

The charge appeared for me as well but no email. They are probably processing these things manually with a live person so it might take awhile.
How's the cabin/road noise?
Emails might be delayed 24 hours. If they charged your card, you're good to go.
It's very quiet, even at speeds around 80-90 MPH.
So much so that even now I'm surprised about my speed when I look on the dashboard.
