I've finally broken out my copy of Nick Howe's "Owning Model S". http://nickjhowe.com/tesla/modelsguide.html .
Too scared to start it earlier in case I jinxed things
. Good book!
Last ICE tank a couple of weeks ago, car sold, garage almost cleaned, finally telling friends what I'm buying, launch RSVP'd, WhatsApp installed, solar cranking 'Tesla Credits', finance almost sorted. All I want for Christmas is you ("Little Nik" if timing is OK).

That's a great story!
I think so too. However, I also think we'll have to wade through a whole lot of FUD as well (unfortunately)....

With the weather the way it is today I am sort of glad I don't have my new baby yet! Have got to drive my cousin to the airport in about an hours time.....

Yep, we were lucky to be parked in a shopping centre when large hailstones rained down, killing the power and potentially doing a lot of damage. I wonder how well the pano roof will stand up in large hail - a friends car was written off with all windows smashed in the 1999 storms. She was in it at the time and said it was terrifying.

The launch starts 6.30pm Sydney time. Easiest way to work it out is subtract 6 hours from California time and add one day., so it is now 7.50 am Monday which is 12.50 pm Sunday in California.
The event is said to run to 10.00 pm.
So the event begins 12.30 am Tuesday morning California time.

I do worry about how an aluminium body will hold up in a hail storm. My current car was left out in a hail storm (parked at the airport) a few years ago and it did $3500 worth of damage. Almost every panel needed work. I can see that stretching well into the 5 figure category for a Model S.
See you all tomorrow night!

On average, the difference to California is indeed 6 hours, but that only applies for a couple of weeks, twice a year, when both places are on Daylight Savings time. It's currently 5 hours, and flips to 7 hours when it's summer time in CA but not in Sydney.

A random Tesla sighting this morning. In a queue of traffic this morning just north of North Sydney heading towards the bridge when a small light blue car wants to join my lane. After letting in what I thought was a Lotis Elise I realise it was a Tesla Roadster. That brightened my trip up until a Mercedes SUV forced his way in front and cut off the nice view!
I saw it as a good Tesla omen!

I think I saw this too. I saw something Roadster or Lotus shaped heading to the city on Anzac Bridge at about 10am. It whipped past my taxi and by the time I got a clear sight of it, it was too far away for me to tell what it was. Slightly greyish light blue?

The one I saw was bright metallic blue with a black fabric roof, probably not the same car as it was heading in to city at just before 9am.
welcome to TMC by the way!
