That wasn't much of a tour. That is a large box in the middle of nowhere with some people walking about, cheesy backing track added. Why do people bother with such piffle!

>Why do people bother with such piffle!

The Model 3 is to be unveiled at the end of the month, so Tesla is ramping up the buzz. It's their way of saying, 'See? Everything is on track!" I wouldn't be surprised if the Model 3 unveiling is just an image.

It's funny that people think the company spends no money on marketing. They're just good at modern marketing.

Forget your "/s"? They're going to have a running Model 3 at the announcement.

I guess we will see. The battery swap was also a "running" demonstration.

Yes? And then they built a swap station and it's in operation right now. They haven't rolled out any more because demand isn't there. Superchargers are good enough for most. But if you're implying that they hacked together a demo but don't have it actually working, that's not so
