    Model X Tour???

    How soon after the premier can we expect to get information on a Model X tour?

    I think they said they would have an official unveiling of the Model X no sooner than the end of 2012. So what we're seeing right now is a prototype. Just like the original Model S prototype it could change substantially. It was 9 months before delivery that we had the big Model S unveiling event (10/1 - 7/1), so with a late 2013 release date you might not see anything before early 2013.

    From a marketing viewpoint, you wouldn't want a tour to be too early. I'd pick a time well after the start of Model S production, so late 2012 (or maybe early 2013) makes sense.

    "official unveiling"? Isn't that what happened last Thursday?

    Do you mean a factory tour of some type? I'm not sure if they're going to have another Tesla Factory tour event for the Model X. I'd imagine that was pretty expensive to put on and they'll be running at full steam hopefully by next summer.

    That make sense to me. They would not want to overshadow "The Year of the Model S". So I guess 2013 will be the year of the model X. Although they have set our expectation for sig end 2013, full production early 2014, I would not be surprised if everything came out up to a half year early. Call me optimistic.

    That factory tour is a major reason I have so much faith in Tesla. Amazing. Simply amazing. I'm still talking about it at work.

    I took it that we were talking about a road "Tour" around the country as per the S-Prototype.

    P.S. Bonnie, me too.

    Ahh. I agree as well. I'd guess summer next year as well then.
