About time to unveil the D and something else

[LittoDevil]

The comments on the livestream are pretty funny! I just wish the video quality was better, and the guy would quit sticking his thumb in front of the camera.

True but so far that's the only livestream there is lol.. 3300 viewers and he's going "Your on unlimited data right?..." lol.. oh and 786 viewers in here!

Invite not required? I don't think so. They are checking names on a list.

Just curious.. is this event open bar?

According to Twitter, yes

I'm just hoping the guy's battery doesn't die before the show starts.

I heard them discussing spare batteries and an external pack.

does this mean that the AWD version of the Model 3 will be called the Model 3D?

Whoa, if I just heard the guy right on the livestream, as they were talking about the speed of the car, he said something along the lines of: "USA Today published an article early and they said 3.2, but that is a little low, what was it like 3? 2.8."

For the record, I might have misunderstood their conversation, but if it is actually 2.8 that would be crazy! Gonna need new tires every week!

Hope no. Would mean you have to wear those weird glasses to drive it! :biggrin:

I can imagine Elon making a snide comment about USAToday leaking the announcement.

That is, if he ever shows up tonight.

He's probably on the phone with USA Today giving them a piece of his mind, his next phone call is probably The Verge.

More like 360D

Tesla always is conservative with their numbers, I would say 2.8 would be more realistic

Display car at the media section of the event. They wouldn't let me open the frunk.

 

[hockeythug]

Not true. Wristbands required.

Estimated 4000 in attendance.

The stream works for about 10 seconds then locks up. Worthless. Is there another way to see this.

 

[inottawa]

Ha.. I feel like this is an Apple event.

Apparently they wanted you good and liquored up before giving you the D.
