Same thing happened to me on the Model Y event despite winning two spots. My wife was SOL because she hesitated. I didn't think to e-mail them and ask for an exception.

You should get a confirmation email within minutes of submitting your names. I think if you're waitlisted, the webpage would say that as soon as you submitted your names.

Yes, I am sure there is something else determining who gets in, it may have been less than 10 minutes when I clicked in. I believe they have (2) separate email lists, and we are already on the no go one.....
2nd time it has happened to me, I believe it hit the Y response even sooner than this one, hard for me to believe that wasn't fast enough.

My wife and I have bought six new Teslas over the years, but the last two Model 3s fell through. On one, they tried to deliver it with 8 scratches and one clean through the paint and said they would never fix it. The other was when they gave me one price, but after clarification of a EM tweet, raised the price by $2K (no free AP for the SR model). I think that got us on a verboten list.
Oh well, maybe the prize will roll to the next event. The roadster reveal would be amazing and I am trying to convince my wife to get one. Everyone have a great time on Thursday if you were lucky or important enough.
So wanted to update.
I've been told this by two people, one a Tesla employee.
Unless you were on some magic pre-approved list, EVERYONE else, regardless of how quickly they RSVP'd, got Waitlisted. Tesla is hand-picking who can attend from that point. Since the event is so exclusive and Tesla has so much riding on pulling it off successfully, they are handpicking who would be best suited for the event.
I'd say if this is indeed accurate, it's very bad form.

Definitely not true because I replied immediately and got a confirmation immediately that says nothing about a waitlist
As I said, if you were on a pre-approved tesla list, you got in right away. If you wern't on teslas pre-approved list, your waitlisted.
So if we are wait listed and never make it to the invite list, what happens to that award? Does it rollover to the next unveil or will we get something else in exchange (like some free supercharging or some other token gift) for our efforts in ‘selling’ Teslas back then? If nothing comes of it, then it wasn’t much of an award now was it? I wonder...

We did! We're so excited. We'll be vlogging the event and possibly live streaming it as well. In our newest vlog at the shop, we talk about the invitation--all the guys are super stoked about it.
That’s such odd behavior. Why send emails to others if you already know the list? What possible outcome were they expecting when they decided to do that? It makes so little sense I’m tempted to not believe it, but reading these forums it seems it might indeed be the case.
That said, if you didn’t get in this time, you’re sure to be invited to the next event (which hopefully is a bit more open).

This is my wife's second attempt to take advantage of her referral prize. She was too late to RSVP last time despite it being only a few hours. This time, she successfully RSVPed, but was wait listed. Both times, the invites only went out a week in advance such that arranging affordable travel was almost impossible.
Some advice I guess is to book refundable travel the moment the event gets announced and set up a priority notification for Tesla emails. I ended up rsvp'ing within 5 minutes of the email

Some RSVPed 10 minutes after the e-mail and were wait listed. Tesla is screening prize winners to measure their blood-Koolaide levels regardless of timing. There are some that didn't respond for a couple days and weren't wait listed.

The Model Y event was definitely not as nice as previous events with the drinks and food. Was that an anomaly or the new normal. Some of those prior events were VIP Hollywood extravaganzas.
