event is over, I'm heading to my car now to finish the uploads. I have pretty much the entire Elon talk recorded, except the point where I managed to dump one half bottle of beer on myself due to excitement

Much of what he talked about were things he also mentioned in his Automotive News Q&A session. There were a couple interesting things he mentioned.
Model 3 is going to be revealed next year. They have done a little bit of work on it, but the Model X is their focus. They could just make it look like a smaller Model S but that would be boring.
He reiterated that the Model 3 is going to be 3 horizontal bars like the E in Tesla. I hate typing and reading that symbol though so I'll stick with the numeral 3.
He confirmed there will be a large reveal event for the Model X, but didn't give any hints when.
There was more so hopefully islandbayy's video covers it all. The whole session lasted about 15 minutes followed by a mob scene with people trying to get pictures and greet him for about 5 minutes, after which he was ushered out to fly to Texas.

Looks like Businessweek has much of the Q&A session video:

sorry for the delay everyone, The videos are still uploading. I should have Elon's entire speech/question-and-answer minus the beer incident and if you seconds where my camera decided to shut off. murphy's Law. i'm actually already almost at the mommy supercharger, the videos are uploading be a 4G. they are about 50% of the way done uploading. they were about six gigs size so that is what's taking so long. I don't have my editing software it with me.

I passed out in Angola while charging. At Mishawaka now, much stronger signal. It's done uploading, youtube is processing. Should post Elons portion in about 15 minutes, if I dont pass out again.

I was attending!
Here is the part about Canadian Superchargers and the Model 3 (I asked about that one).
The text is in french, but the video is in english of course!

Thanks, some good info. Elon is clear that the X will be shown in final form "this summer", will have features that no one outside of Tesla knows about, that the Model 3 will be first shown "next year" and will likely be a "radical" change from all other cars. Interesting...

There's a chunk missing at the 11 minute mark where he started to talk about battery chemistry, and then it picked back up where he was talking about battery swap. How much was missed in that time gap? Did he say anything interesting about the battery chemistries?
that's where my cam decided to **** itself off... Murphy's law :-( he said a 15% improvement in density has been achieved compared to current model s. lost about 30 seconds of talk.

That's pretty close to what the poster "insiderinfo" claimed in his posts about Model X with the CAD drawing that got taken down. The only other major claims the guy made were that the X would indeed ship with 60 kWh and 85 kWh battery options only and the front end changed a lot (no nose cone). It will be interesting to see if the rest of those come true.
Thanks a lot for doing the video!
Can you clarify whether Elon mentioned how the approx 15% improvemnt in energy density for Model X will be utilized. I was thinking that if they are able to put about 15% more energy in each cell at approximately same price and weight, they can either have the same quantity of cells as in MS, which will result in the same battery cost and weight, but larger capacity. They can also have 15% less cells, cutting weight, with the battery having the same capacity as MS. Alternatively, they can have some sort of combination of the two approaches above.
Could you provide more details on what Elon said regarding this?
