i was curious if the factory events would include at least a partial tour or a look at manufacturing? some of us can't take delivery at the factory so this would be a perfect alternative.

Touring the factory (esp while its working) for those of us that don't live on the West Coast has always been an impossibility - I'd love to see that set up as an option on the Friday afternoon or Sunday morning?

The factory tour is great and yes, when we took delivery in January they were working weekends. You can take delivery 7 days a week (at least you could back then) so pushing for a factory tour would be worthwhile..

Bonnie - Aaron brings up a good point. Those of us flying in from out of town are excited about a factory tour when the factory is running. It looks like the TESLIVE schedule Saturday at the factory has a general session and a party - so it appears no real time for a factory tour. If that's correct, it would be great to know that so some of us can try to arrange a Friday factory tour as Aaron suggests. Or perhaps Tesla will host an optional TESLIVE factory tour, say 3-5 Friday, aggregating all of us instead of a bunch of individual requests. Good to know how this is laying out so we can try to plan our flights and Fridays. Thanks.

I am checking into the possibility of factory tours at times that would work for all of you. Give me a couple of days to give an official answer.

Excellent. I was planning on arriving late Friday, but this may move me back to Thursday.I am checking into the possibility of factory tours at times that would work for all of you. Give me a couple of days to give an official answer.

Thanks so much - this would mean so much to us out-of-towners!
I originally reached out to Shanna Hendriks (who I was in touch with from the @TeslaRoadTrip) but then it was only me and she was unsure anything could be done -- perhaps if enough are interested, they can arrange one on Friday. I was also encouraged to reach out to Dan Myggen, but have not heard back from him...

We have someone at Tesla on it (including a link to this thread, so they could see the timing requests first-hand). When I hear back, I'll post what's happening.

I got a relatively tepid tour back in January as the factory was not running while everyone was prepping for a belated holiday party that evening. This is tempting enough that, even as a local, I may take that Friday off from work and join the gang (and plead with the wife to do the mundane stuff such as school/camp runs)

Bonnie + Tesla Monitor - My son (cattlepup) and I would definitely fly in Thursday PM to make a Friday group tour. Thanks!

Thank you Bonnie for all your (and everyone else) effort with the whole event.
If there is a list of interested people for a factory tour, please add my name to it. I do not have flights yet, Friday might be best for now, but I could also do Monday.
Thanks so much,

Count me as another out-of-towner that would love to join in on a factory tour. My availability on Friday might keep me from joining in however - it looks like I'll be working that day until mid afternoonish. I'll keep an eye on what gets made available though and see if I can figure out a way to make it work.
