Will Tesla do a press conference or a media event for the Alphbuild?

[Fr23shjive]

Im sure most of us are aware that Tesla planned on releasing the Alpha build by the end of 2010. Well we're about 11 days away from the end of the year and no world has been made on whether they're going to do it or not.

My question is are they even going to make the Alpha build public? I highly doubt that Tesla would make a press release in Novermber 2010 about having the Alpha build being done by the end of 2010 and then not be able to accomplish their goal.

Obviously you are new around here LOL Tesla does that all the time. Have they made a single deadline yet ?

If anything, they will do it at the Detroit auto show in January.

I think you are correct qwk. For those of us following Model S development, the time between end of 2010 and Detroit auto show is a nano-second. My concern is it drags on into Q2 2011 or beyond.

I think that you're right on this call q...I wish I could find out for sure if the Alpha build will be there.
I usually go to the Toronto show, but TM won't be there this year (according to the TM Toronto office)...disappointing if the Alpha makes it to Detroit, but not to Toronto as the Toronto show is only a few weeks later.

I'd drive the 4 hours to Detroit to see the Model S Alpha build...

If anything, they will do it at the Detroit auto show in January.

I also think you're right. If I remember correctly, they mentioned that it would be there in their Q3 2010 investors conference call.

Another rehashing of the SEC filing and Alpha build schedule.

A Morgan Stanley report last month said that the Model S (pictured, right) would be exhibited at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

They plan to ramp up to 500,000 vehicles on the Model S? Not sure if those numbers are accurate but good to know it'll be shown at the Detroit Auto Show.

I think numbers are being mixed up.

I understand that 100'000 cars are to be produced p.a. on the Model S platform (Model S, Model X, convertible and a commercial vehicle). Bluestar would be 400'000 p.a., but that's a number I haven't seen yet.
