I'm fine with that. Mine isn't going be a signature or fully optioned so I was going to get cut in line anyways.
I don't understand your point? Model reservations start at 10 am PST on 31 March at all showrooms. This event is at 7pm PST the same afternoon. No preferential treatment is being given for orders. Everyone will wait in the same lines at showrooms or online.
Current owners are only getting a chance, a very small chance, to see the unveil live. For FREE.
Last time i checked if you wanted to see a reveal you had to wait till the Detroit, LA, or Geneva auto shows and pay.
Additionally, they're probably more likely to provide feedback relative to their previous experience with the cars. And, maybe, be more forgiving of early missteps - though recent threads have me questioning that assertion.

Just got the email also. I won't be entering the ticket contest, since I can't justify a trip to LA at this time. Better odds for the rest of you!
Of interest to me was the answer to a bunch of questions we've had in recent days about the timing of reservations: In-store at 10 AM PST and on-line when the reveal event begins. That's pretty simple.

Your rule is fair enough but existing owners are already familiar with how a Tesla works and NOT works.
Historically, from Roadster, Model S, Model X, there were always some kind of problems (whether delayed timing or technical...)
If there are problems in production, although existing owners may whine a lot but at least they already know what to expect and how the service work.

Maybe I have the wrong end of the stick... the invite says "As a current owner who has supported Tesla and our mission, your reservation will be take priority and be placed ahead of non owners." That reads to me as if the reservation for a Model 3 not a reservation for the draw. The invites are going to current owners anyhow.
Apologies if I am wrong.

Either way, as I said elsewhere, current owners are a big part of the reason tesla is still around to offer an "everyone" car. I'd treat them nicely too.
I'm not sure if that's what they meant, but that's certainly what it says grammatically.
Incorrect. Read the last paragraph of the invite: "As a current owner who has supported Tesla and our mission, your reservation will take priority and be placed ahead of non-owners."

Agree. That is exactly what I understand as well. When there are 2 deposits that are from 1 owner and 1 non-owner on the same day, the one from existing owner will be more prioritized.

I don't know about this time as we have less than 24 hours to find out from others.
However, in the past, the invitations were global, not just in the US.

The evangelism of Tesla owners has been a big part of enabling Tesla to grow, especially given the lack of traditional marketing from Tesla. Putting those people at the front of the line makes complete sense, given that they already have experience with Tesla, EVs, and likely a track record as a sort of brand ambassador for Tesla.
Awesome!
This means that it will be Noon Central Time (if they actually meant PDT of course)
P.S. just got my lottery invite too!
