It's Model S Weekend at Tesla Santana Row 3/17 & 18 and new Model S Design Studio

[TEG]

The Model X has been at the Launch event in SF ... just saying .

Did you go see it there?

Tesla Motors Model X Will Be on Display at the LAUNCHFestival - LAUNCH -

I didn't see it there, no. But I'll see it again on Sunday morning .

I may make a run down there as well. Santana Row is in range of my LEAF, but I have never gone into the Santana Row store in all this time.

Doing something simultaneously on the east coast would be really impressive.

Doing anything... not in California, would be impressive.

I wonder what kind of red is going to be available for non-Signature models. Will it be like the Signature red, or will it be brighter?

I don't begrudge any of our CAL friends their opportunity; that said, one of Tesla's challenges is to stop being a local player and start growing to their full potential. (As discussed in this other thread.) I'm excited to see everyone's pics/stories, but it's sad crazy that we're relying on forum members to help us out here.

That "Muir Red" is a brighter, more fiery red than the maroonish sig-red; there were pics of the paint sample from the October factory event on that thread back then. Availability is 'sometime' in 2013.

Yes, even if it takes Tesla some time to get these cars around the country, why is it so hard for them to keep the picture galleries on their website up to date?! Heck, their very-dated pics are lamer than the great ones that Charged_Up took of the white beta at a store recently. Tesla can provide disclaimers, just to be very clear, that some of the pics are those of betas and are subject to change or some such.

Perhaps because they stay focused on production? Which I really appreciate - can't wait to read the first delivery&drive reports.

Some people have a hard time to understand focus (surely not you, gg). Once in a meeting, the boss gave order to stay focused on meeting the deadline. Meaning not letting other things distract anybody from that. One participant asked, why not to just keep "everything in focus." Sheesh.

How was this event announcement distributed? Website? Email?

It doesn't seem to be on the website, and I didn't get an email notice.

Actually, I'm getting very little in the way of communications with Tesla. Maybe they think that I cannot fly to these sites?

I found a sample of the muir red (I can't remember where - maybe the Houston Galleria store?), and let my daughter photoshop it into the picture on the TM site. I don't think that it's exact, but could be close...



Also, what about this?
