Gigafactory Opening Event- Lottery

[ICUDoc]

Is anyone going to enter the lottery Tesla are opening to the current owners?
They say they have reserved "a few" spots for us- wonder how many that is??
I'll be stuck in Sydney bug it would be great fun to go and see it- looks like a massive building, and the solar panel roof is amazing! Wonder how many watts it serves up??

Hi Doc:

As of 06/01/2016, Gigafactory has no solar panel just yet. Soon!



I would love to go if I win the lottery

Oh, disappointing! So the picture of the massive solar panel array on the invitation email is just "illustrative", then?

Correct. The present size on 6/1/2016 with no solar panels is only a small portion of what you see in the illustration with future solar panels:

I've tried the other lotteries without success, hoping to do better this time!

TMC Connect is on at the same time nearby in Reno, so could definitely make a decent trip out of it.

I agree - fingers crossed!

Have they sent out notifications to the winners yet?

Seeing if there are some last minutes to hold out hope? Me too buddy, me too.

A few referrers have just now gotten invitations.

But, no lottery results just yet.

Agh! I would love to go, but not getting my hopes up too much.

I've clicked on that picture a few times, but it doesn't seem to work ;-)

Congrats

I've heard of at least ten Aussies going to the opening on Friday. I didn't win a ticket, but I'm going as a guest with someone.
Totally excited! Can't wait.
The short notice makes it a bit hectic to get to Nevada, but it's so exciting!

congrats to LGGD and other winners! Very lucky indeed!

Please take plenty of photos and videos and share with us all.

Wish you all a safe and fun journey to the mothership!

Here's an aerial view with the Helicopter Pad on the right to make sure you don't land on the wrong side of the event:

Where's the private plane runway?

Where's the private plane runway?

Airplane runway is nearby but not onsite just yet.

But, why just go by helicopter or airplane--how about rocket?

Rocket landing pads are still not available onsite but that might change if there are enough requests from Martian Tourism.
