If there is no information, then there will be no deliveries. Cars delivered to private owners (including employees) must by Federal law have stickers with information on cost of that specific car and specific options on that car, plus EPA range, safety ratings, etc.
The Model 3 may be considered a "compact" in size, but it's larger than a BMW 3-series and the overall interior volume should be greater. I don't know about chauffeurs, but if one does have a much higher quality car, perhaps that's the one they'd want to keep for the weekends and let the 35k car run up the miles.
Is this some elaborate way of saying that I condone such behaviour? Well I'm not, I'm simply pointing out that it's inevitable given the high demand.
From the beginning, it's been clearly stated that Tesla/SpaceX employees come first, then Roadster/Model S/Model X owners, then first come, first serve. After the employee deliveries, there will likely be some batching by geo/options, too.
Sure there could be. Just because the info is available doesn't mean they will be announcing it during the event. The people receiving the cars know the info. that's all that matters. I do expect some info to be released, but it may not be everything that everyone seems to expect.
You're making the assumption that only people that receive cars tomorrow will be board members and executives - I don't think that that is the case.
I'm hoping that they stick to this also. As a day 1 reservation holder and a current S owner, we have been waiting patiently just like everyone else to get this car. Seems like March 31, 2016 was nearly an eternity ago. Not sure how many current owners there are on the east coast, but my understanding is that we should have priority over non current owners despite our geographical location being further away.
Don't think anyone has any gripes about an owner who reserved on day 1 getting priority. I think the scenario that makes people somewhat uncomfortable is a Tesla owner who casually tunes in on Friday saying, "Hmm, that's actually a pretty cool car! Ah, what the hell, I'll pick one up. Only have to wait a month or two, after all."
They don't want ~400,000 (or more) reservation holders all trying to get to their Model 3 My Tesla page all at once tomorrow. By removing the button, they've probably removed over 99% of the possible traffic and can easily reduce the loads on the servers. Yes, the page is still accessible via the URL but I'm sure less than 1% of reservation holders will try that.
