Just read a portion of the manual.

Yeah, so I just checked the entire manual for 12V and all it lists is a 6.9Ah 15.5V battery.

I do not regret falling asleep waiting for it to start. Probably would’ve fallen asleep during event after watching g that video. Cool car still. I still want it. But no need for the “event”. Will have to see if folks like @omarsultan are allowed to post videos and info over coming days to really learn about it.
If tonight was his effort to be a snake oil salesman, he failed abysmally.

Listening to his words, I think the Model S is on its last leg and the Roadster is in trouble. He basically stated the mission was to show that an EV was better in all ways than an ICE. Anyone feel more has to be done in this space with Model S? Roadster? Elon doesn't seem to think so.
mass production of EV is the next goal. Taking over the ICE space for shipping, subcompact, etc. Many on this forum have mentioned it before but after tonight, It is clear as day that Model S and I believe Roadster are dead. Get a MS while you can. They will be unique some day sooner than you think.

Some of the ‘first ride’ videos on YouTube are encouraging 
Except they haven’t delivered any cars either…just sayin’. I hope they do, but it’s hard when you start from scratch.

I don't think either car is going to be much of a hinderance to Tesla achieving it's goals. Producing a few thousand S a week is going to be nothing in the grand scheme of things as they build out more factories and increase capacity by orders of magnitude. This thinking that they're 'in trouble' is conspiracy theory non-sense.
In any case here's a lil test drive vid I found for anyone wanting to see some initial impressions:

I think a lot of you have to recalibrate, you spent 6 months refreshing this forum and account multiple times a day. Literally nothing Elon could have done would have satisfied your appetite to be wow’d. The only thing he didn’t deliver on that I can noticeably tell was March delivery. With everything going on in the world I guess I’m more understanding than most?
Everyone up in arms talking about since there is no COO and going to buy Lucid, okay… Lucid won’t have scaling problems? Please. I’m excited for all the competition but similar to this event, you have to have realistic expectations. Lucid and Rivian coming out won’t be some overnight magic bullet.
As for why the event was late, Elon was flying in from Hawthorne (likely SpaceX):

Its not a matter of hinderance. Its a matter of investment and time of engineering and manufacturing resources. Take it or leave it.

I am waiting to see if the car still needs the crazy prep time of an hour before you can use launch mode. Model 3 is always ready for its 0-60 launch and I am hoping Plaid would be the same way but after the event I am not so hopeful anymore.
That's a fan boy answer. I'm sure the car is great but he couldn't even stumble through the features in a manner that would tell us that. Awful. Like he had never seen the presentation before. SpaceX is his priority now, clearly. He needs to move on to that and let someone else take on Tesla
