Anyone else miss the reveal because they couldn't get it to load?

[Lyon]

Yeah, I'm a little ticked. There are many worse things out there, granted, but I was looking forward to this!

It was really hard to get in. We finally found an alternative link that worked. I'm sure they will post it tomorrow.

Getting up at 4 am (UK) for this and then by 4:30 still not getting into the live stream was frustrating, Thanks to Citizen-T who posted the "la." link I saw the second half but not the reveal itself.

I know that they'll post it later but, like I said, I've been looking forward to it. I got the kids in bed early and invited my dad (another Model S res. holder) over to watch because I've got a computer hooked up to my TV. It's not like it's lost time; I ended up chatting with my dad which was nice because we don't get to do that very often.

Anyway, this is starting to sound like whining... even to me... so I'm going to cut it out. :redface:

Same here, although on EST.

I missed it but was happy to see this report: Hands-on video with Tesla Cleantech News and Analysis

Wonder how it will handle the possible onslaught of reservations tomorrow... Now that could be costly.

Can anyone find the vid they are talking about? I don't see it.

Tesla and GigaOM seem to be pretty tight. Both members of the Mutual Admiration Society.

Nice that GeorgeB welcomed us and thanked us all for watching...shame that we were all sitting with "error" messages on our browser screens....

The video is here now: [video=vimeo;36534892]http://vimeo.com/36534892[/video]

Thank you Norbert and Nigel.

GeorgeB is a really personable guy; he keeps a good eye on all of us here :smile: and instantly knew who we (AnOutsider, me, dsm363) were when we chatted him up and mentioned our handles!

I'm on the east coast and was able to get in somewhere around 11:30 pm EST last night.

Here's a partial explanation:

On Thursday evening, the night of the reveal, traffic to teslamotors.com increased 2800 percent.

Although, you could ask why they weren't ready for it.

Seriously. Hopefully they'll know better for the next release. I know that I'm going to be really interested in the mass-market car, not because I think that I'll buy one (hopefully I'll have an S and an X by the time its available) but because it is what's going to make or break Tesla in the long term.

 

[doug]

Yeah, given the production values, you'd think they would have had a better stream.

They should rent a satellite transponder next time. Can't rely on this newfangled IP rubbish...
