My understanding (per a rep) was Tyco would be getting an X. The gallery for show (was nice to finally see one and check the head clearance) and Tyco for test drives.

At first, I just wanted the stick/lever combo... but come to think of it, wouldn't motion sense be even better? Why? Couldn't it be a little module that plugs into a hole in the dash?

Didn't Elon mention there would be options for further & faster during the min address?

A thought just occurred to me (going to go find a bat and chase it off before more join)... with you being a former owner, both of you being out West, and then comparing to mine... maybe we are looking at it all wrong, and the higher numbers indicate the better priority.

Dedicated Amish workforce.

So maybe they solved the storage problem? Flip-top dashboard cabinet. How fast the car is going is a lot like cooking dinner: when you hear sirens, it's been too long/going too fast. In retrospect wish I had grabbed the quote more in line with my point, but with Elon saying the display is as...

Quite a lot of everyman bashing in that article, which might sway the Sixpack's opinions. Nothing like saying "you people are a pain to deal with, but we're willing to put up with you in the hopes there is enough of you to add up to a mortgage payment."

And you thought "RN" stood for reservation number? (Do you think that is air you're breathing?) It makes sense though, someone could more conceivably do something nefarious by knowing their number is 10775551212 and wanting to target a person reserving next to them at the same store & time...

Maybe this token is why there are rumblings of needing to increase production capabilities. Model 3s will come in time, but that swag just got blown out.

I really have a hard time trying to figure out why HUDs have not become more mainstream. Not full-glass, but just key figures (speed, gear, odometer, and next navigation step sort of stuff) right there in LOS make ridiculous sense. Looking down or to the side is still looking away and should...

Yeah, took quite a while for there to finally be someone behind me, and was less than half the size when I left as arrived. Just one of those things.. oh well. I wouldn't be surprised if it starting picking back up midday with folks taking an extended lunch break to BB&Queue.

The close-up video Bjorn took of the red one seemed to be 20s (if I'm reading the sidewall correctly.) You and Pete both seemed in agreement on this, but looking at all the drive videos, everyone seems to be getting out rather awkwardly. Does it involve some gymnastics across the threshold and...

Tesla's bank account can only hold so much money. It was a little off-putting Thursday morning when then site was completely static. Probably just caught them transitioning for the hordes, but was weird that none of the buttons or links worked.

Reservation agreement says no escrowing, so short of local laws, I would expect they keep a reasonable reserve for the short-term jitters/errors and insure for the rest. Liability for the full amount, of course, but if they don't have to lock it down, no reason to think they will.

The special thing for people logging-in 15-minutes early was getting to jinx a few thousand people as you all muttered "is this thing on?"
