That would actually be kind of awesome. I mean his is in town talking about innovation after all.

That photo opp was in Palo Alto ... this event is in Hawthorne... about 350 miles away... I wonder if something is going wrong with their planned demo...

the endless loop of bad techno music...

 

[FluxCap]

I want to start seeing media walking away, that a bring him out

He is with the Prime Minister of Japan right now.

Edit: Maybe not -- and Livestream is just screwing up?!

 

[westerndh]

I have the 10kw Tesla/Solar City back up battery, installed cost was $5k over a year ago - interesting that Solar City is not on the Channel Partner list

 

[JohnSnowNW]

Yamazaki Scotch and house music....if I only had a disco ball. Forget my Model X order, if this pops tomorrow, totally buying a disco ball!

I depleted my scotch reserves a couple weeks ago with a final snifter of Balvenie 15, before that I kicked a bottle of A'bunadh.

 

[yobigd20]

you know those are wholesale prices are going to distributors, so expect 200-300% markup. it'll cost us more like $10k+ to install.

 

[HankLloydRight]

Come on guys, I want to hit the "confirm order" button for my Model S, I won't do it until we have passed the "and one more thing moment"

I think you're safe.. this isn't a Steve Jobs moment.. and this isn't about cars. I really doubt there's going to be a "oh, one more thing..." moment.

Has Elon ever, really done the "oh, one more thing" thing to make a big announcement? I don't think so. That's Apple's gig, and I don't think Elon would usurp that.

 

[eujinc]

The only entertaining thing right now is watching the camera guys keeping busy. I mean, how much more adjustments do you need to do?

 

[hockeythug]

These delays have to end one of these days. Getting borderline unprofessional, prime minister or not. Will continue to watch Calgary getting throttled.

the prime minister of japan can wait his turn to ask questions until after the livestream.

8:30 pm TESLA TIME! (Means 8:30pm sometime in 2016 or later...)

 

[austinEV]

Their customer list alone should give enough data for everyone to be forced to kick around new numbers on how much this new business will impact Tesla/TSLA.

And cue laughter over that BS article published today regarding a 4kWh pack from a rival company costing 10k... So much for them undercutting Tesla. Hahahahaha!

Well, a lot of people like paying more to get less, right?

 

[Toby O]

Why not throw in some Zedd and Deadmou5, sure they wouldn't mind since they both own the car.

...or just have one of them as DJ for the event
