Well at least my statements are factual.
Right, you're already ahead of the game
Looking forward to the unveiling in 11 months, then...
Buying an EV is one thing, being able to drive it beyond city limits another...
True. But this thread has the advantage that the title never expires...
As far as I know the December 13th date was a process of deduction. I believe Elon Musk said that it was time to unveil the Model X before the end of the year. There were several articles to that effect.
Apple used to generally unveil their products on a Tuesday, I think because they believed that the most people were sitting at their desks in front of their computers on that day and they had the rest of the week for the buzz to reverberate. Waiting until Tuesday, next week - December 20th - would be too long since lots of people will be starting their Christmas vacations next week and Hanukkah starts on the 20th. So the thinking was (at least on my part) that they'd have to do it today. If it gets to noon or 1PM and we don't hear anything then obviously they don't share that line of reasoning.
I would have thought that we'd hear something by now because I would think they would have to invite the press and the press would tip off everybody (through blogs et cetera) to be on the lookout for the big unveiling. The fact that none of that has happened so far makes it seem like Tesla is not stealing a page from Apple's playbook. Can anybody remember the circumstances under which they unveiled the Model S years ago? Was there advance notice so that people could "tune in?"
Just read this in the Barclays Capital report from today:
So if we get anything before then it will be just some teaser pictures or that kind of thing.Tesla is also making progress to the Model X, a crossover vehicle using the same drivetrain platform as the Model S, and has scheduled a formal Model X Reveal event on February 9th, 2012 at Tesla’s design studio in LA. The February event leads us to believe Tesla is also on track to launch the Model X in late 2013 as planned.

The Model S unveiling event was announced weeks in advance.
