Found some photos from someone who is setting up the event...says that the Roadster will be there (but the red one is at the Petersen museum?), also some cars that are covered like we saw in the flyover. I don't believe the tweet where he says an unreleased car is underneath the covers, but hey...

Hi guys, Trying my luck here to see if anyone has an unused +1 spot for Thursday's event that they don't need. Would be super grateful and willing to pay for the spot! Please PM me if you have one. Cheers! Lift

Bit of a shot in the dark, but if Tesla is doing +1 for this event, I would be very grateful! Happy to pay for the +1, PM me if you have one available.

Here are some pictures of the black covers for the deep blue metallic paint + chrome delete fans, for your viewing pleasure :)

Found some more pictures from people who got them - definitely more of a matte finish than gloss which I am happy to see! https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModel3/comments/lpzw4o/received_my_rimetrix_18_aero_covers_today_very/ imgur.com

Yep it's been on cars regardless of if they have FSD for at least a couple months (not sure exactly when it was implemented but I remember seeing another thread about this several months ago for someone who also did not have FSD).

If by chance something in the frunk were to hit the button while you were driving, the frunk will open but only partially. There's a second latch that will hold it down until you go into park.

Not for the Model 3. For a 2013 S, yes, but that's because the hardware differs so much between what the 2013 S had versus what a Raven S has.

One person puts their name in the two top boxes, and puts their guests email in the plus one box (the guest then gets a separate email to RSVP).

For the Y unveil there was a waitlist also...but they added more space later on. Time to be optimistic!

If anyone has a +1, I'd love to attend! PM to negotiate:)

Y unveil was about 800 people in the design studio...given that this will probably be at the Jet Center yeah you're probably right.

Y unveil invites went out only like a week before...so hopefully we see something by Thursday! I wonder what the reasoning is behind waiting so long to send out invites.

That referral program is over, it's no longer possible to win a event ticket by getting referrals.

Option a) Win the referral prize that got you an invite to an event Option b) See if someone has a +1 Option c) Know someone at the company that can get you in Option d) Be a member of the press/media

Yes they did. However there was an opportunity for those who couldn't make it to transfer both tickets to other people. Can explain more via PM if needed.

People who won the referral prize to attend an event, media, and people who know someone in the company high up that can get them in.

Interesting how he said "near the rocket factory" and not "at the Tesla design studio"...something big is going to happen... I would happily be someone's +1! Willing to pay for plane ticket (and/or the +1 ticket, dinner). PM me to discuss more :)

Elon Musk on Twitter November 21st! If anyone has a +1 I'd love to go, willing to pay for flight/ticket/dinner. Can provide transportation as well.

Unveils have consistently been on Thursdays...so the 21st still seems likely. Maybe we see invites going out starting on the 7th since that's two weeks before?

Might not be the same scenario, but when I saw that 12.2 was available to download, I connected to wifi and it downloaded half of it before I had to go somewhere (and thus lost the connection). A day later, I reconnected to wifi to finish downloading, and about 20 seconds in the whole thing went...

Anyone having write speed issues with their Teslacam usb that worked perfectly fine before? Just updated to 12.2 last night, and this morning the dashcam with an X icon appeared twice. Removed it and tried to view the files on my phone (my usb has one end for usb c), but now it looks like the...

Was finally able to get some time (and decent weather temperatures) to do the kit this past weekend! Had some help from my sister because she loves doing stuff like this, so the time it took to do the wrap isn't what it would take one person to do alone...but it still did take quite a bit of...

Would there be a noticeable difference in installation difficulty without claying? The car is a tad over two months old, and wouldn't tiny rocks in the paint not affect the chrome trim that the chrome delete kit covers?

My kit arrives tomorrow! Is the clay bar kit necessary for the install? I'll actually be washing my car shortly before I install the kit...hoping that will make it clean enough.

HW3, also just got it today.

I find it odd that they don't clarify what the punishment would be if he breaks the rules again. Like for the first violation it was pretty bad, but the second violation is what...like $5?

I want Zack to talk to me when I can't fall asleep at night

Here's the mapped route btw: Google Maps

If you wanted to know what the route was: Google Maps

Anyone know how one would go about contacting VW regarding the brother who may also be involved? Hopefully VW would not want to employ someone who does stuff like this. But then again, it's VW...

Rumored to be the motor upgrade for S&X.

Track mode is included in the Model Y Performance per the configuration page. I would also imagine by the time Y goes into production that track mode will have some improvements compared to the current mode.

I personally do not see Tesla waiting until Q3 (estimated) for the refresh if that rumor is even true, because another quarter like Q1 for S&X will not be good. I hope they accelerate that timeline somewhat...to maybe mid Q2 but not late Q2.

Eventually buyers are going to realize that they can get better deals at the end of the quarter, and that will be quite bad for deliveries...

Couldn't find the tweet, but greentheonly has seen references to a project named Raven or Maven (I forget), which is apparently the partial refresh. Given his track record I would think his claim is legit, but time will tell.

Tesla makes 3s in batches of common configs and then matches them with an owner as needed. If potential resale value is of any concern to you, you should ask if you can get a 2019 VIN. Yes, Tesla doesn't do model years but everyone else still goes by it, which means a 2018 versus a 2019 model 3...

Yes, it's an official press release image from Tesla. On a side note, Tesla needs to fix how they show their blue paint, it always looks way brighter than it actually is haha

Entry into the front seats felt a little lower than the X, but higher than the 3 definitely. Not sure about second row. It did seem like they rushed to put a 3's interior into the Y for the unveil test rides, so I would imagine that the actual production car will be much better with regards to...

Yeah, was somewhere between an X and a 3, although it seemed a bit lower than it should be.

7 seat config, but the back 2 were folded down. This guy managed to take a picture with them up Alistair Weaver on Twitter

Front passenger seat. Was very dark in the car, but it seemed to be about the same as the 3.

I would say it was somewhere between the X and the 3 (but more towards the X). Then again, I was in the front seat which is on risers like the X, so can't say what the second row is like.

If it's of any help, someone in my test ride asked the driver what the gross weight was of the car, and he said that "they haven't compiled/released those specs yet", so that may also apply to the dimensions.

We will soon see if these two photos are of the same car...

I could be wrong, but weren't the first couple boosters cleaned thoroughly to also make sure everything checked out? And then after they realized that cleaning wasn't needed, they stopped? Since Dragon 2 is a new vehicle, I would guess that they would go through that same process.

Wow, will be interesting to see if it'll look a little grayish-white after they clean it for the IFA. I'd love to have whatever cleaning sollution they use for some of my pots and pans...

Twitter seems to be the medium of choice, although it can be a one in a million chance (although Elon seems to reply to a lot of people who have complaints).

They did a decent thorough look at the badge on my lanyard. I'm not the type of person who would be confident enough to do an "act like you belong" sort of thing, so for me personally I felt like I wouldn't have been able to get in without the badge. Once you RSVP your name is put on a list...

I did get to the event a little earlier than most people, that may have been a factor in what I experienced. There were about four security guys across a entrance space maybe 15-20 feet wide, and people sort of organized themselves in multiple lines to walk in.
