TESLIVE Factory Tours - Signup & Confirmed Lists

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Update - Yep, someone did, indeed, send you misinformation about the factory tours. I have asked for a list of people that were sent information so I can reach out and correct anything that needs correction.

My sincere apologies for any confusion on this. The information in this thread is the correct information. TESLIVE registration is not handling any aspect of factory tours.
 
I, too, had understood there was going to be a tour available during the normal festivities. A bit disappointing, but I get enough trips to San Jose that I think I can try to arrange something separately.
 
I've asked that the company handling registration send me a list of everyone who might have been erroneously told there was a factory tour (outside of this thread), so I can contact individually. If anyone registered and was told they would get a factory tour (and is not on the tour list), let me know via pm if you'd rather just have your registration fee refunded.

This is one of those snafus that you really wish hadn't happened. But it did and we will do what we can to make it right (short of getting more tour spots from Tesla - they've already gone above and beyond).
 
Request Friday or Sunday in that order. Model S owner, San Diego. Thank you, Gary Dressel

I've posted several messages about my wish to be put on this wait list and sent two private messages to Bonnie. But I'm still not on it. What's going on? It's the main reason I am flying from Florida to come to this conference.

It's been posted a few times that the second post in this thread is a wiki so you can edit it as well. I went ahead and added you to the Friday waitlist.

The wait list is so long at this point it will be tough to get the tour.

Understood. I couldn't figure out how to edit the wiki but as I go back to look at it now I see the small yellow banner that I missed before. I guess my only choice is to try to fly in a day earlier and do the tour then. Thanks.

No problem. See if someone is taking a regular factory delivery the day before and has an extra space for you to tag along.

Apologies, robballan. I had it out there as a wiki, so that people could add their names on their own. (Thanks dsm, for going ahead and taking care of it.) The wait list got so long awhile back that it is unlikely that any new names added will get a spot. I wish we could say everyone who wants a tour will get a tour, but I feel extremely beholden to Tesla Marketing for getting the spots made available that they did. It was not a simple task for them to do that (several layers of approvals).
 
Missed this thread. I just looked at the agenda and assumed the tours were open to all attendees. I would like to get in to one if I can. What is the "Factory Party" on Saturday evening? Is that also restricted/booked up?

As an exhibitor I was led to believe I'd get access to a tour, quite a ways back, but this thread seems to suggest late-comers are out of luck. It is understandable as it's quite desired! I gave my request on this thread... I assume there still aren't enough openings. <sad look>

p.s. never been there, S owner
 
Bonnie,

Please remove me from the Sunday tour (B), as I'd like to make room for someone else. Look forward to meeting you and other attendees, thanks for TESLIVE's hard work!
