Official invite to Model 3 reveal sent TODAY to 650 Owners

[mach.89]

Is it possible that invitations to lottery winners will go out by snail mail instead of email, thus explaining why it's been nothing but crickets and tumble weeds for those of us awaiting the yay/neigh email from tesla? Would seem ridiculous if so, being that they're a tech company...

Don't forget. In Tesla time, March 17 could mean any time up to and including the event. Now, yes, I do drive fast. But living in Santa Cruz, I do need at least 6 hours to get there, with charges...!

I've never won anything before. This would be a sweet thing to win.

...invites March 17 may really mean 18 lol

Interesting theory.

However, that should affect 1 hour, not 1 day.

12:00 PST means 13:00 PDT.

Nothing in the email said the invitation would go out today, Thursday. All it said was entries had to be submitted by noon PST yesterday.

Sorry I missed the last line. If you don't receive it today, it could mean it is coming via regular US mail, I doubt it but it is possible. Also it sounds like unlike the last time when you could bring a guest it may be limited to one person and no guest If not then it would only be 325 car owners with their guests.

I think Tesla hates killing trees so it prefers e-mail rather than hard paper.

Just got my email. Never thought I'd get it. Not sure if I can go.

It not, please give me your ticket and +1. Thanks so much!

Ahh lucky. Tickets aren't transferable are they?

Got my email about an hour ago -- didn't see it until just now. Never thought it would happen, and now I'm trying to figure out how to make it work. It's the middle of my kids' spring break -- which is both good and bad.

If none of y'all can't make it... I will gladly give you a nice internet hug in exchange for it...

Congratulations!!!!!!

Tesla mentioned that registering for lottery deadline was March 15 at noon PST... while since March 13 we already have PDT so I wonder if sending invites March 17 may really mean 18 lol

Invites to RSVP have been going out apparently since midnight.

So, since the reveal isn't until late in the day, I wonder how reservations taken at the reveal will fit into the overall scheme of things. First world problem, I know...

Someone on the Face Book San Diego Owner's Page has posted they received an invite this evening (3/17/16)

 

[Jeff N]

I guess it's time to make my "elevator pitch".... I'm 8th on the "+1 request" spreadsheet.

Aside from being a longtime Tesla and EV enthusiast, I'm writing a story about the Model 3 reveal for the alt-energy car news website HybridCars.com. I tried getting a media pass from Tesla but no luck.

Help me get in as your +1 guest.

Thanks and congrats on winning the lottery!

#2 on the list, hope someone has one.

Since I haven't yet gotten an invite in my email, just thought I'd make the offer again here that if anyone has a +1 to spare, I'll offer a ride to and from the event in my Roadster in exchange. I live in OC so could also possibly offer a place to stay if you're from out of the area, except it's a bit far from LA (an hour) so not super convenient to the airport/other things in LA.

...I wonder how reservations taken at the reveal will fit into the overall scheme of things...

I watched unveiling video clips of Model S and Model X which indicated that attendees could make their reservations before they would leave.

I wasn't there for each of those so I don't know how it was done in the past.

There are a numbers of computer terminals at each event but i don't think those would be enough for hundreds or thousand of people.

I conclusion, I wonder how it's done too

For you guys and gals who get to go, I'm betting you may get a chance to drive one! Small crowd for such an event (recall 5000 for model X vs 800 for 3). If you do, please post!!
