Model X event e-mail sent out

[dsm363]

Booked at Holiday Inn Express - Hawthorne...Free shuttle to/from LAX and 2 miles from event...not fancy but only in town less than 18 hours...

Just booked a room there too. It is cheap as well.

Wait, so Roadster owners who are not signature buyers have received invites already? I have not. 8^| Yet. On tenterhooks, however.

Wait, are they making it a two day event? Like they did with the Oct. event?

No? Where did you hear that? I'm staying at the Ayres Manhattan Beach

nice hotel. I suggest that you find lodging towards the beaches..... Manhattan beach, Marina Del Rey, or Redondo Beach. Better surroundings and restaurants.

It had one of the better ratings on hotels.com and I have some free nights with them

Correction, by "you' I meant everyone attending the event. My experience for Hawthorne is: go there for the event, but stay somewhere else.

Sorry, didn't mean to start rummors. I misread a post about receiving two invitations for two different days (I now realize it was that they received two invitations on two separate days to the same event). Also, inferred that was related to the fact that the invite list got much larger.

False alarm.

Ah gotcha. It does look nice (though I won't be there long enough to appreciate it), but looking it up on gmaps, it doesn't look like I'm too far from the event: 14400 Hindry Ave, Hawthorne, CA 90250 to 1 Rocket Rd, Hawthorne, CA 90250 - Google Maps - though the walking directions say an hour and change, so cab it shall be!

Jetting in at 6 pm and jetting out at 10:35 - hoping that the unveil / rides are done by 9:30-ish so that I can take a quick taxi ride back to LAX.

Hotel stays overnight aren't for jetsetters :smile:

Wow, you're optimistic! You're planning on getting through LAX, to Hawthorne in traffic, hang at the event and then back to LAX in time to get to a 10:35pm flight? Hope your inbound isn't delayed. I know it's only 5 miles, but I've sat in traffic for hours around that time of evening. Encourage the taxi driver to take side streets.

 

[zack]

I've done a few searches and I can't even find the exact address of the Tesla Design Studio in Hawthorne. Am I an idiot? And did any Roadster owners who haven't got Model S Signature deposits get an invite yet?

 

[bonnie]

3203 Northrop Avenue
Hawthorne, California

 

[zack]

Thank you, Bonnie! Now you have to tell me how you got that address when all of my searches came up as if it simply doesn't exist.

 

[bonnie]

I just googled 'Tesla Hawthorne CA' .

 

[zack]

I googled Telsa Design Center Hawthorne California and many other combinations. And got nowhere. Another example of "Keep it simple, stupid." 8^D

Thanks for the tip, Bonnie! Yeah, hoping American gets atleast their SFO-LAX shuttles to run on time!

 

[StephRob]

I'm on the same flight back to SFO, though I'm coming down a couple of hours early to catch a little sushi in Manhattan Beach. Really looking forward to the event!

 

[zack]

My GF and I will be arriving pretty early on Thursday, well before noon. Is there a particularly good sushi place we should visit before the event? There's nothing like sushi when you can smell the ocean... where I live is about as far from all coasts as you can get in America.

Rollout?

No details. Sounds like the time period when the first test drives will be offered. At least they won't say "Test drives available for Signature reservation holders, now in LA and SF only!"
