Larry, I also use Verizon and didn't receive the original invite, but everything else seems to have come through fine now. I have a phone# for one of the organizing staff, e-mail me if you need it.

I'm another "local on Sunday". Quite like the Noon time slot. Nice, bright and hopefully warm!
Yes, good on Tesla to accommodate folks from elsewhere who might have already made plans to fly back out on Sunday. We locals will miss seeing you guys from all over unless we all make the proposed gettogether happen earlier in the day on Saturday.

local vs. non-local makes sense from the perspective of evening out the days as well. In an interview or call, Elon mentioned something like 45% of the reservations are from California, I think roughly in the bay area (vs, say, San Diego). He mentioned it in relation to a question about demand, noting that he felt that number meant there was a lot of untapped demand for the Model S in other states that weren't as aware of Tesla.
Glad I checked this thread. Got the original invite no problem, but the confirmation went to spam (I use GMAIL through Google Apps). I'm non-local, and set for Sat @ 5PM
Hi,
Due to a scheduling conflict my wife and I requested a Sunday tour and ride so although we're not from California we'll be joining the locals.
We look forward to meeting you folks.

Check Orbitz for package deals. I got a rental and hotel at the La Quinta for 2 days/nights for $173.

Add airfare from Tampa, FL to San Fran to that and it goes for $375 per person. I just didn't need the airfare (going standby).

I got Sunday noon like other locals, but I have a conflict for Sunday. The hard problem for Tesla would be coordinating those who would prefer to switch between the two days.
Would it still be the plan to have a TMC gathering earlier in the day on Saturday?

I just spoke with Angie @ TM...Sunday was added as an overflow due to the huge number of reservation holders reponding that they will be attending...no rides will given before the start of the event...Saturday starts at 5 pm, Sunday at noon...firm...
Yep, I'm not going. I was talking to my wife basically saying "If we can get cheap tickets, the San Jose airport is only about 10 miles from the factory. We could probably just get a taxi or I've seen some folks offer rides."
To which she says something like: "So you're going to buy tickets, fly down, go to the party, sleep overnight, and fly back for a 5 minute test ride?"
Uhh, well, when you put it that way. And this is on a car I'm going to see anyway in another 6+ months or so as delivery nears. I'd love to go, but it make zero sense. I'll be really disappointed though if Tesla ends up giving something out that would have made it financially reasonable to go had I known (a free option on the car, like XM radio or some such).
And a tour of the factory. And a chance to meet many TMC members and Roadster owners. And who knows what else?

Yes, I got the same reaction, until we decided to take her along and make it into a romantic vacation. :wink:
