My invite did arrive at 7 AM as well. RSVP went smoothly at 10 AM with an email confirming a short time later.
It is NOT unusual for Tesla Motors to send invitations to events with short notice. Some event invites have arrived the same week. That is why I kept the calendar clear and skipped an out-of-state drive just in case. I am pleased to attend, as the first production Model X Signature delivery dates are not known at this time. Seeing them in person will help balance any additional wait time.
My Signature Red Model S will get another thousand miles on the odometer for this trip. Superchargers could be busy, so planning some extra events to arrive early could be wise. Winchester Mystery House would work as early as 9 AM on Tuesday. http://winchestermysteryhouse.com/rates_schedules.cfm It might be practical to leave a bit later on Wednesday and enjoy the Walt Disney Family Museum and their new Dali and Tomorrowland exhibits. Home | The Walt Disney Family Museum - Disney Museum is CLOSED on Tuesdays! Also note: The Computer History Museum is CLOSED on Monday and Tuesday. Hours Admission | Computer History Museum
Here is a close-up of the text on my email:
(It helps to have the 5K iMac with Retina Display. Makes the Design Studio for Model X look great!)

Did someone already take you up on this offer? I have some SouthWest miles I could burn for this.
I tried a PM but your inbox was full.
Anyone else want to make the same offer (pickup and stay)? Haven't asked my wife but we are empty-nesters and I have time to spare.

My guess is that they're sending out invitations in waves, based on RSVP data from the previous waves. They'll keep sending till they hit a target number of RSVPs.
Mod Note: Some posts (that were borderline snippy, but definitely derailed the convo) got moved to random chitchat

I wonder if this is going to be just founder deliveries or the event like the D announcement where they had test drive cars.
Sure would suck to fly out from the east coast just to watch a few people get their cars :smile:

I think that says "Model 3" and it is deliberate. A bit of an inside joke...[emoji6]Wow, I think I need a break from browsing the forums. I'm seeing
With so many Model-X delays, why would you expect the invites to go out on time?
Seriously, I'm sure these guys are really busy trying to ramp up the production line. I'm guessing that this little "event" is an after-thought to them. A bunch of employees were probably eating cold pizza last night at 11pm and someone said, "do you think it would be a good idea to invite some customers on September 29th?"

haha. indeed. and, tbh, the larger Tesla gets, the more this will be the case.

Good note. Not accepting that as "in the plans all along," but not counting it out either. I think Model S demand is a very important factor to Tesla now that many here discount too quickly, partially because it hasn't been an issue for so long.

Well, they may still need some time to get the door alignment right.

IMHO, may I suggest that the handoff of key fobs to several Founders could still occur at the Fremont factory earlier in the day. A private event, like what occurred for Model S, is more of an employee appreciation with the first Founder production cars rolling off the line. IMHO, Tesla Motors could even have some Signatures rolling off the line for standard delivery. Video of the Founder's handoff could be shown to us that night.
The "Model X Launch Event" will be the gathering we have been waiting for. Elon and company can reveal everything to the news media and the buyers in the style Tesla Motors is famous for. I look forward to seeing some of you there. A name tag with your TMC member name would help.

I'm still looking for a +1 invite. If there is anyone outside of CA who is on the fence about going, let me entice you by covering your air ticket with FF miles
Edit: coolcarx has graciously offered to take me. Thanks to all the others who also offered. TMC is a great community.
