Reservation 209. Received the invitation but already full, but there was no way we would be able to go anyway - just nice to see that we were extended the opportunity! Getting excited!!

This is actually really smart of Tesla to do. One of the big issues with Model S rollout/ramp-up wasn't actually the production constraint, but the fact that many early reservation holders were skittish about confirming and configuring their cars without being able to see one up close in its various colors and configurations or get hands-on with it. Tesla actually had to shut down the factory for a brief period in 2012 or early 2013 because they had no confirmed/configured cars to build, even with a huge backlog of deposits.Agree that they must have invited all reservation holders. I got an invite, and I'm reservation 20,724 (from just a couple weeks ago).
Ha! Mine showed up at about 9am today. Of all the many events over these last few years to NOT be able to attend. Uugh
Got my invite, hesitated too long trying to figure out how and if I wanted to negotiate soccer practice, piano, and other kid duties. Obviously I wasn't committed psychologically. More than anything, it would have been nice to finally meet most of you, the rest will be crystal clear in a mere few thousand posts on TMC.
Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm coming all the way from Akron, Ohio on free airline miles to attend the event! Very excited! Model X Res #19,282.
Sorry to burst your bubble but they sent invites to all remaining reservation holders this morning. Within two hours, they reached capacity and stopped accepting RSVPs. I thought about it for a while but couldn't afford to take all of Wednesday off to fly back since it's the end of the fiscal year and I'm swamped at work. By the time I found a flight that would work, I could no longer RSVP.My day got off to a great start - I got an invite to the Model X launch!
I have a way high Model X reservation - #19854. I desperately wanted us (my wife and me) to be at the launch event. Last night, I decided to send an email to Tesla asking if I could get an invite to the launch event. And voila! this morning, I see an invite in my email. I was ecstatic. I went to RSVP but unfortunately the event was at capacity. What a letdown.
It's a few hours later now as I share my story but surprisingly I still feel great. I feel great that Tesla not only responded to my email but actually granted my request. In my book, that's called going above and beyond! Now, I can't wait for my turn to own Model X!
Thanks for the tip bonnie! RSVP'd just after reading this and got in. See you all there!Best advice is if you want to go, confirm immediately. I suspect that once they hit a certain number of people, they will stop confirming.
Would it have possible for anyone to have made refundable travel plans / reservations for an event "... known about since early September ..." and cancelled the reservations if the event you've "... known about since early September ..." did not occur?
That is just chrome on the T and nose cone, no lights at all.
