While we're at it, once the debut is here, change the counter to "days till first expected delivery" ? :tongue:

Sweet!
40/65. If I'm going to join in, maybe I should have some idea what I'm talking about.
Are those the minimum/maximum days until the unveiling?
:biggrin: This post made me LOL - I found this thread annoying at first, but it grew on me after a couple of weeks.
Hey! Why should you be the only one around here having an idea about what your talking about! :wink:
Well, sort of...
The first number is based on an misunderstanding that the Model 3 would be shown at the Geneva International Motor Show witch starts at March 3th this year. Well, its been cleared up after that that: 1. Tesla don't unveil their cars on motor shows, and 2. if was not just "in March" but "in late March". So read this number as "We can be somewhat sure that it will not be shown before the first number is down to zero". Probably with a good margin :tongue:
After that the second number was added, witch count down to a date in late March. (sorry, forgot witch :tongue
. But as it has been pointed out, it is not the last day in March. Some among us witch are "experienced optimists" (read: pessimists) think "in late March" to read "not before March 31." or something So read the second number as "When this number reach 0 we should at least be somewhat close to the unveiling, and maybe we even know when it actually will be".And then, remember that Elon did say that the "in late March" was not a very firm time frame.... But what the heck. We see the numbers goes down each day, and we are one day closer to the unveiling whenever it will be

The best part is before you started the counter there were all sorts of comments questioning why we needed one.
Yet here we all are - watching two numbers slowly count down :biggrin:
FWIW - the first counter marks when I really start my "F5/reserve button click" exercises in earnest

I don't know about you guys, but I'm just counting down until my March 1 bday! This topic just happens to be ballpark enough. :tongue:
Bigbear, I believe you can get your ass kicked saying something like that around here.
I saw this on a Tesla Facebook page today, supposedly taken at the Tilburg factory. If it isn't the 3, does anybody know what it is?

No clue, but I'm intrigued!
