    Uploading now... may want to grab it/watch it if it gets flagged for copyrighted music.

    Thanks. Will keep an eye on it as I presume it's still processing at this moment.

    Wow that got flagged/blocked fast for the copyrighted music.

    I'll try uploaded to dropbox. I believe I have a 20gb data cap before this link gets banned, so the first 25 downloaders should be fine.

    Before I sit through that video, can someone confirm it does/does not have the dropped/frozen portions that bedeviled the livestream?

    Yeah, I looked at several on YouTube the morning after the launch, and they all had that ...

    ... then i googled and found it on Tesla's site (on the page with the Semi / Roadster reservation), but as @shokunin said earlier that's now gone.

    Perhaps Tesla had some sort of time-limited license for the music? I can't see that anything, which breaches copyright on the music, is going to survive on YouTube for very long

    Would be a great pity if the presentation was no longer available, I enjoyed being sat in front of my screen watching it, how sad is that?!, but all the time I was wishing it had been on YouTube so I could watch it at a faster frame rate ...

    The fact that it was able to do so many Plaid runs back to back to back, where the S cannot, gives me hope the Roadster can perform on a track.

    Congrats on your order. I have to wait for TSLA to appreciate more:)

    Since the reveal I've pondered that some more.

    The demo process was:

    Punter gets in (not an instant process!)
    Short bit of chat.
    Taxi to launch point. Wait a bit.
    Launch
    Circle round at the end, drive back leisurely-ish
    Circle round at the other end
    Park up.
    Some final chat Q&A with punter
    Punter gets out (also not an instant process!)

    For sure the battery needed to be able to deliver that number of launches (I saw a clip where the driver said he had started on 90-something and been doing launches "all evening" and was now on 60-something).

    But it seems to be that there was a lot of recovery time (to cool down / whatever) available in the way the demos were timetabled

    May be irrelevant of course

    Yes, each run had about 2 seconds of full power and the rest was only low level power use and sitting still waiting. If there were 50 test runs that night that would be less than 2 total minutes of full power use.

    I agree. It doesn’t prove anything one way or another with respect to being a useable track car.

    Thanks so much! I'm watching this now, finally. I sure feel like I'm late to the party.
