At the Adelaide presser he said he'd be staying another day to visit the windfarm site where the batteries would be installed.

Two questions:
(1) I'm unclear on why if SN1 is rolling off the assembly line today, it isn't going into the hands of its new owner like right away, or within a couple days. Why the delay until July 28?
Not only do I realize it, it was kind of the point I was making. Tesla Energy, Space X, Boring company, hyperloop, open AI...all are worthwhile enterprises but they all compete with Tesla motors for time and attention.You do realize that he was absent because he was managing a big unveil event for Tesla, right?
Tesla isn't just cars, and many people seem to forget that.

John DeLorean is not dead. He's alive and well in 1985.That's the designer of the Firebird, John DeLorean before he froze to death in a 'snow' storm.

Elon tweeted last weekend that he expected the first M3 to come off the production line on Friday (yesterday). Very specific. Why would he make that announcement and then not say something about it when it happened? I expect once he's back form Australia and in the factory (during the day - he was just tweeting at 3:30 a.m.) with other bodies, we'll hear something. Maybe on Monday.Is there a reason people think they might have a photo of the first Model 3?
Perhaps this has been mentioned upthread, but I don't remember any photos of completed vehicles for either S or X prior to respective delivery events. Is there a reason people think they might have a photo of the first Model 3? Or is this just the normal rampant speculation in lieu of real information?

A very respectable member of the investor section mailed investor relations about SN1 specifically asking if we would get an update. He got a swift reply that 'Elon will probably tweet it'. I am too lazy to dig up the post right now, but someone else must have it handy for sure.
Someone on one of the message boards here emailed Tesla IR earlier in the week and posted their response. They said something that implied Elon would tweet a message about SN #1. I'm paraphrasing and don't remember who posted the IR response, but it was possibly in one of the Investing threads.Obviously I could be wrong. But I see nothing that indicates a photo of SN1 is coming before the Delivery Event.
SN1 is really insignificant as far as a car goes. I doubt it's being driven yet if it was produced.
Normally SNxxxxxx01 will be gone over with a fine toothed comb, and every major, minor, or observation non-conforming characteristic will be investigated for it's root cause then corrected. This can take days. You don't want to fix the same problem on 30, or 30,000 cars when you knew SN01 had it.

So SN1 would be the first car made off the line? Or the first car off the line after adjustments you mentioned. I thought some of the RCs where made on the line and not to be sold to work out the bugs, so that SN1 is off and good to go. Otherwise how could they be ready to hand off 30 of them in 2.85 weeks. Unless I misunderstood your post.
Again, tweeting an update is not a commitment to post a photo of a particular VIN. I fully expect Elon will tweet something about progress prior to the delivery event. But I don't expect a photo.Someone on one of the message boards here emailed Tesla IR earlier in the week and posted their response.
