Special Event with Elon in NYC on Nov 12?

[Doug_G]

I'd guess SC announcement, yeah -- though the location of the event itself isn't where one should go.

Yeah, that doesn't fit. Why would you do that in downtown NYC?

Rolling out a new model?

Just an FYI Motor Trend's Car of the Year is announced Nov 12th.

Thinking REALLY big, maybe a contract to replace all recently ruined cabs with Teslas!

Now that is an interesting theory that lines up well with the completely vague info in the invite! :smile:

The venue looks pretty fancy, and has an outdoor billboard sign that can be used to do a presentation, perhaps a preview of a magazine cover?

It will be a trifecta announcement:

All Model S Sigs produced
Location of Boston to D.C. Superchargers
Motor Trend car of the year

Tesla is rollin:biggrin:

 

[Doug_G]

Any chance anyone knows if there is a way to get an invite to this if you're not a signature reservation holder? I would love to attend this if it is possible. Anyone know?

Usually invitees can bring a guest. Find a Signature holder who isn't bringing his/her spouse...

 

[W.Petefish]

I couldn't attend even though I desperately want to. Someone take photos/videos please?

 

[gg_got_a_tesla]

If someone that has received an invite is willing to bring me along as their guest, it would make me extraordinarily happy. If anyone is interested in helping me out, please message me and we'll talk more in PM

Be careful not to OD on the Kool-aid! Tesla parties can be real fun

Yeah, the MT award seems like a sure bet. The east coast SC reveal less so.

1000th signature?

 

[drinkerofkoolaid]

Hopefully I can go Any chance you are err offering me an invite

From what I've heard about Elon and Tesla parties, it's sure to be an awesome event =)

Model S receiving the Motor Trend car of the year award, alongside an announcement of a supercharger (Already built?) on the east coast, coupled with a live performance from (Insert Awesome Band Here), and all the Kool-Aid they can bring to the party would definitely make for a fun evening

Furthermore, is it possible they are further along with the Gen 3 then they have put on? (Something about another surprise that they built in secret?)

1000th signature?

My guess would be that "milestone" goes better with 1000th signature, than with a possible award. Although "first" east-coast SuperChargers might also be considered a "milestone".

If it's really that big of a deal, Tesla will stream the announcement live like they did other events. Photos and vids from members are certainly appreciated, though.

 

[Beavis]

Put my money on MotorTrend before the 1,000th Sig. They still haven't done mine yet.

 

[brianman]

So far has it only been sent to Signature reservation holders?

Probably a geographic subset of Sig. (I didn't get one.)

They need to start putting these events on a Friday or Saturday evening in order to try and get more people to attend as well.

Maybe they don't need more. Spots in NY are rarely as grand as the hangar used for the Model X reveal

Especially true for me. (maybe also with about a month's notice)

 

[SoCalGuy]

hmm, wonder how one can get an invite - my apt is literally a couple of blocks away...

 

[ModelS1079]

Wow... This is true:
"Check back to MotorTrend.com on November 12 to discover what will become the 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year"!
(From the article: 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year Contender: Acura ILX - WOT on Motor Trend)

Folks, that makes it a no brainer (or really bad planning for the event date!). HUGE award. This is good.
AND, as per post #26, I think an update noting the 1000th sig made (not delivered) is possible;
Much more important is Todd's note above, that the investor letter states the SC Network from Boston to DC to be completed THIS YEAR. If true, that is...just amazing. A co-announcement seems quite likely. Tesla, taking the East Coast by storm.

And that's the one unfortunate part - the contrast between a glitzy Tesla event and the realities of life there right now. NYC is still reeling from Sandy, with a Northeaster heading through today. They've had power in this neighborhood for three days. I won't dwell on this, but two final thoughts:
1. Awesome for Tesla and The East Coast.
2. If you have an extra invite/guest invite out there, PM me, please. This sounds like an event not-to-be missed. Thanks.
3. May our hearts and minds be with the people surrounding this venue who have lost so much.
