Just saw this article ... looks like we may have Model 3 test rides
Tesla sends out ‘Gigafactory Grand Opening’ invites: test drives, factory tours and remarks are scheduled
One of the prizes for the latest round of Tesla’s referral program, which ended last Friday, was an invite for two at the ‘Gigafactory Grand Opening’ on July 29. The invites are now going out with a few more details on the event, as well as a raffle for more invites for Tesla owners.
The event will start at 6pm at Tesla’s ‘Gigafactory 1’ at 1 Electric Avenue, Sparks, Nevada, on July 29th. Attendees will be offered test drives, without specifying for which vehicles, and they will offer factory tours before and after “remarks” at 9pm. Here’s are the bullet points in the RSVP:
This is the invite for the Tesla owners who referred 4 or more new buyers:
- Your RSVP is good for yourself and one guest.
- Invitations are non-transferable and ID will be checked on arrival. Guests must arrive at the same time as the primary ticket holder.
- Check-in will open at 5pm.
- Factory Tours and test rides will be offered on a first to arrive basis from 6-9pm. Time slots will be allocated at check-in.
- Remarks will begin at 9pm, tours and rides to resume after remarks.
- Children must be over the age of 8 and over 48 inches tall.
Other Tesla owners have received invitations to enter a raffle to win an invite to the event. Some of the owners who received this invitation reportedly also referred 4 or more new buyers, but didn’t received the direct invite, which created some confusion.
We contacted Tesla to get some clarifications and we will update when we have more details.
Here’s the invite to enter the raffle:
Aside from current Tesla owners, we also reported that Tesla quietly created a ‘Golden Ticket’ drawing for all the Model 3 reservation holders who placed a pre-order during the first day and randomly selected 12 winners to receive an all-expenses paid trip to the Gigafactory Grand Opening. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been building up expectations recently for the event to be something quite special. He said that “one thing Tesla is good at is we throw good parties”.
I got a +3 reservation. I won a ticket for myself and one guest in the three referral programs. Me+1 plus me+1 plus me+1 equals me+3 in the funny world of Tesla math?

If anyone is interested in the official schedule of the evening just PM me.
I am looking to go to the party, if anyone has a extra +1, and is willing to share, please let me know.
I will be in town Wednesday night with a (gas) rental car, and depending on the time, can pick someone up from the airport.
Thanks.
Would welcome a +1 here too.
In the meantime, I am trying to secure an invite and if lucky enough, will offer the +1 to this thread.
Well, I think I'll jump on the bandwagon. I live a mere 98 miles from 1 Electric Ave and might be willing to provide room and board to those making the drive. The supercharger in Reno ought to make it an even easier commute over the pass than it was before.
side note...would like to attend if possible (that is if I can't make it to L.A. for Connect)
Folks started offering money for the slots. I am giving mine away to Doug and a lucky TMCConnect guest.
Anybody get an invite from the lottery?
Hi Reeler
Based on the rules, guests cannot enter unless they are with the primary ticket holder at the same time.
Makes giving them away or selling them pretty hard all the way around.
I have 4 extra tickets. All 6 of us have to show up at the same time. I have offered them to Doug for the TMCConnect conference to give out to attendees. Doesn't seem fair to try to make a buck off these and would rather them go to fans in some sort of fair way.
Never seen a lottery say you didn't win, but I would think after the lottery winners are picked there will be some sort of human validation then information will go outI was hoping we'd at least get a notification that we didn't win. I guess that's probably expecting a bit too much communication from Tesla.
Well, in a normal lottery, you can also see that it happened.Never seen a lottery say you didn't win, but I would think after the lottery winners are picked there will be some sort of human validation then information will go out
Screenshot?referral program is back!! YAAY. 10 referrals for the next reveal
Well, I guess I got notified that I didn't win through seeing the posts on this forum from those who did win.
Oh... Maybe not, I just re-read and I think I confused the earned invites from referrals, ok, back to crossing my fingersYou've seen posts from someone who won the lottery?

Congrats! Hope you can make it, and TMC Connect while you're at it - didn't we meet at the 2014 TMC Connect?Me. Me. Me! Wow, I did!
Rec'd email a short while ago. Looking for flights now, maybe I can make it to Bonnie's party at Picnic Creek also.
A friend got an invite and when he RSVP'd he got an email back saying he had not been confirmed?!
