I ordered a Plaid, but no love here. Haven’t gotten an email

Likely going to reservation holders in No. Cal.

Plaid perforated ventilated seats with the contrast “piping” near the stitching. Looks nice. Wonder why they went with that as opposed to just a black contrast stitching? Either way, looks good.

The invite says doors open at 7pm and comments will be at 8:30pm -- I believe it will also be live streamed.

I will, of course, provide a full report.

I've always preferred piping to stitching when going with contrast. If the stitching ever loosens - something you wouldn't expect at this price point, but I've heard plenty of QA issues - the stitching doesn't look frayed and off.

But agree that it looks good either way.

I think the contrast piping can look nice, but in this particular shot the stitching quality looks terrible. I know this is an early Model X test mule, but for the price of a Plaid I fully expect the seats to look like they were stitched by someone that was sober. This looks like the upholstery shop employee had way too many vodka shots with their morning OJ.

Please keep the piping straight on the production versions!

Assume since Plaid buyers are getting invitations that it’s not open to the public?

It is invite only, but there should be a live stream -- I will try posting from the event if there is interesting stuff going on before the livestream

So, obviously, you're taking one of us delightful TMC forum members as your +1 to the event, right?

Well, I have to borrow my wife's X too get that (y'know, no car since January), so she sorta has dibs

Was Fremont your original delivery center?

No, Rocklin (near Sacramento)

The style Looks just like the seats on my 2017 MS, except with perforated seats and piping.

Does getting an invite mean you get to pickup your car at the event?

Elon confirmed a couple of weeks back that there will be livestream

Woah! Crazy, I am as well. I figured only Fremont. I’ll hold out hope

11:30 EDT start. Will have to take a nap that day so I can be awake for livestream.

The biggest aspect to the pricing for me was distance to main panel. The materials were the main cost driver. I basically figured out that part of it to negotiate best pricing.

Think of it as an upgrade. My wall charger charges at 40 MPH. if I sell the house the wiring for an EV is in. remember, by law Everyone will be buying EV by 2030.

I doubt it--still says "June" on my order page-- although, I am going to call my SA on Monday and see if I can unofficially pick up my car since I will be in Fremont.

Kind of messed up it’s starting so late.

I cannot believe what little faith some of you have in Elon pulling off the event on Thursday. You act as if he has announced something and then not make it happen. Come on...

Quoting this wise post about the event taking place. Now we have the time, place, and someone who has been invited.

At least you are owning up to your mistakes!
