I haven't read all of the comments, but my opinion is if Tesla makes only "premium" versions of the Model 3 available at launch, they're going to have a lot of angry customers. They have been advertising the Model 3 as a $35,000 car (before incentives) for years and if they debut it at $45,000...

What specifically seemed not ready?

I don't see why window opening would be a difficult thing to do but I think we'll find out soon enough anyway.

Agreed. Getting trapped in is a risk in any serious car accident so having a Lifehammer is always a good idea.

Glad you had such a great experience and so cool you got to chat with George Blankenship!

Agreed. "How do we make the doors not touch each other when two MX owners park super close next to each other and then open their doors simultaneously." That's called a Tester Bug, not a real-world scenario. People just take turns opening their doors.

The same way they got into the car. Did you watch the demo?

I had the same exact thought, but I think ironically the event lightning was not kind to the car. The daytime pictures which the Verge posted are super nice: Tesla’s Model X is finally here, and I got to drive it | The Verge

Elon has mentioned that one of the main reasons for the delay is to make sure the doors work well and reliably, so I imagine the bar they set is to try to make the doors as reliable as any standard sliding van door. It's novel tech so it's going to have some hiccups but I am sure Tesla will be...

Watching the Super Bowl on DVR is so not the same as watching it Live. Same is true for this event.

I will be 100% happy as long as someone who takes delivery does a thorough walkaround video of the vehicle and highlights all its nuances and features. I will be 95% happy as long as those details are shown in the reveal. I want to see the car from all angles and I want to see those doors in action.

Gosh, he's almost in tears in the first video at 35:10. :(

Fishy This post is totally fishy to me. Your brother and his wife took a video of the Model X, and you're a member of the Tesla Motors Club, but you don't know where they took the video and you didn't ask? It seems like you could have gotten the answer pretty easily. Also, why is Tesla driving...

The new 6-seat configuration is great! I hope they keep enough secrets to make the reveal exciting, though! At this rate, I think it's safe to say the second row seats don't swivel. I don't see a scenario where that would be a great experience. If the chairs are in the "out" position, then do...

Event I think it was intentional. They didn't want to announce the event yet and if they didn't deny it when asked then it would have ruined the surprise.
