Tesla Motors has begun taking online reservations in Korea for its electric cars, Model S, Model X, and Model 3, the company said Friday.

With a deposit of 2 million won ($1,800) for the Model S, 5 million won for Model X and 1 million won for model 3, customers can make a reservation, it said in the first statement released for Korean press.

“Korean customers have already shown a great interest in Tesla through reservations for Model 3,” it said. The model 3 is a Tesla electric vehicle that will be available starting at $35,000 in 2017.

Test drives of the Model S in Korea will be available at its retail stores and events at the end of this year, the US carmaker said, without naming the location of stores. The model X will be showcased at the beginning of 2017, it added.
