Early Access Program Invite

[ngogas]

What Timmy said. Some of yall are acting like Lord Elon is going to strike you down for saying the words "early access". We're the one's doing them the favor, don't forget that. Just part of the gig, either way party on!

exactly!

Perfectly fine that you don’t agree that you violated the request asked of you. Just don’t start posting threads whining that you got the boot from the program because you couldn’t follow a simple rule.

I could be wrong, but software companies usually do not request you not to share that you are in their alpha or beta test program. They request that you do not share the features or bugs of the actual software until the software is released. It is kind of like being a juror. You can say that you had been selected as a juror for the trial. You just cannot share any details of the trial or your thought on the trial until it is over.

I think it is totally dependent on what the software does. In this case it’s human safety. I am willing to bet they don’t even want folks who are in the program to be identified.

However it’s not like we can call up and ask their preference.

I didn't violate anything. Perhaps you should stop checking this thread. Again nothing wrong with asking about joining vs not joining, it violates nothing!

I'd love to join and have asked numerous times. Never received a reply--though glad to see that they have replied to some. For those in the EA program, do us non-EA program folks a favor and provide a ton of feedback to Tesla. It really does make a difference.

 

[StellarRat]

I know nothing.

I think the rule to follow here is that this program is not a secret society where people cannot disclose their participation. If that was the case Tesla wouldn’t have just massed emailed out everyone’s contact info... but that’s a whole other topic.

Just keep any feedback and thoughts about the prerelease software you get early access to between you and Tesla. Don’t overthink it.

 

[bradhs]

I know nothing.

And for some strange feeling I wish I could say the same thing. Haha!

 

[ecarfan]

I think we need a new TMC subforum that requires it’s own “Tesla Early Access Program” password so those who agreed to join that PTSGU (Program That Shall Go Unnamed) can talk about it.

This would be nice. If I was part of the early access beta. Which I can neither confirm nor deny.

 

[Duncan01]

Invite and acception over 24hrs ago but no updates.... anyone have same experience? Asking for friend...

 

[ngogas]

@duncan glad you accepted but be patience while Santa makes his rounds. You get the beta you don’t get the beta, don’t talk about that part of it. It comes when it comes. If not no big deal.

 

[PoitNarf]

Elon just confirmed that they expanded the Early Access Program by 1000 more people this week, so that’s why a few of you got invites. He also says version 9 is “almost ready”, whatever that means...

I just received an email to the Tesla Early Access Program. I’m wondering if they’re expanding the program. Anyone else get one?

Not yet, but would love to get an invite?

 

[ngogas]

Elon must even talk about early access program. Haha

 

[SpudLime]

Elon must even talk about early access program. Haha

What’s really funny is that those folks that actually understand the point it’s rather obvious to know the difference between Elon talking about it, and folks in the forum talking about it.

 

[ngogas]

At least no one is talking about the detailed features. Just general yes or no on invites which I’m fine with.

Have you been involved in any Early access / Beta programs and NDA's relating to such programs like this? I can tell you I have and for many many companies. I have never seen any that say you cannot state you are involved in a particular beta program. But to hold true to the NDA's they ask to not state any details relating to the content or any info of the beta / early access program. Saying I am involved in a particular Beta program does not cause any harm or invalidate any kind of NDA of this nature. I read earlier your thinking is that Tesla opened up the program and everyone should keep their mouth shut so they might invite more people if they dont talk about the program itself ??? If Tesla needs more people to test, they will invite as they just did a few days ago. They needed a bigger pool and for that matter specifically Model 3 users since that is a fairly new car. They are not going to say oh wait someone said I am in a early access program and so forget it, we are not going to invite any more people.

Sorry I really don't agree with your arguments. my 2 cents....
