    I got an invite email (referral program) but it is frustratingly vague. Anyone know if we will have +1's? I am looking to take my daughter (9). Anyone taken kids to a hawthorne even before?

    Haven't taken kids, but saw them at the first Tesla Energy event. (ymmv, but they did look kinda bored.)

    At the first M3 reveal, I don't think I saw any kids. It was really a cocktail party atmosphere. Lots of waiting around, as usual. The semi might be different. But I'm sure the invite includes a +1. Mine did .

    Well she understands this is what gets her to LA, and thus Disney, universal, LaBrea, beach etc. Small price to pay.

    Thanks all. As long as it isn't strictly no kids she will be fine.

    Oops never mind!! Just checked and looks like I have 5 referrals as of today!

    For those of you who got Semi Unveil invites, the cars don't have to be delivered (just ordered), right? How long after the 5th referral did you get the invite?

    Nobody has received an invite yet. They only sent out a "save the date" email on October 2nd. Then they sent another email on October 6th changing the event date to November 16th.

    Most pit dumpers like that haul rock up out of the pit and return downhill empty. Where would the opposite be the case?

    More promises from Elon

    Elon Musk on Twitter

    Can't wait for the threads: "Why is my mind still here and not in another dimension?" "Where's MY portal gun, Elon?" etc

    Launch it on the drag strip Elon, with a mock up of a portal at each end :cool:

    This thing is going to have hilarious torque, sub 15 second quarter mile without trailer?

    "SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 from Kennedy Space Center today at 8 p.m. ET. The company is executing a secretive mission dubbed “Zuma” commissioned by defense technology company Northrop Grumman for the US government. Additional information around the mission is “restricted.”"

    Is Space X launching a rocket at the same time the Semi event is supposed to start?
