One keen man is already lining up to buy the Tesla Model 3 in Australia

The basic specs and price of Tesla's budget electric vehicle offering, the Model 3, have yet to be released, but that hasn't stopped one eager man from lining up for the chance to put his name down to buy one.

Australian man Andreas Stephens claimed first place in line at Sydney's St. Leonard's Tesla dealership around 7 a.m. AEDT Tuesday morning, he told Mashable Australia. That's more than 48 hours before the reservation list opens Thursday. "I wanted to make sure that [I was] number one," Stephens explained.

He has definitely succeeded, with no other Tesla fans in sight.
