I attended the event tonight; drove up from San Diego. Got to meet Elon briefly. The event itself, the onstage part, seemed like it was over as soon as it began; the wait was longer than the actual demo. It was supposed to start at 8pm, but didn't until almost 9. Then Elon comes out and speaks for a few min and then the demo, which was over in 4 minutes with two Model S's both swapping. After a few final words, Elon hopped in the 2nd car and drove off and that was it. The rest was party and schmoozing.
What was in a quite unexpected way somewhat more exciting for me at this event was being able to closely inspect a Model X they had parked outside on a patio by the bar. All the doors were open. Some people reacted with disappointment that it was too small. I was surprised that it seemed smaller than my Audi Q5. But not by much. But generally it looked pretty darn good, and I liked how much higher it was over the road than the S. It almost got me thinking that I ought to order an X instead of an S. It's the 14-month wait that's preventing me from seriously going the X route . . . but the car looked great!
