Starts at 830PT correct?

If they're on time. That's 0330 UTC, for anyone who wants to convert it.

This is actually a very good point because these events have started late more than once.

Just reserved mine. Of course, I double checked the terms to make sure it was refundable, but I'm ready for it to change the game.

I found out you can get a countdown timer if you google:

    countdown to 8:30pm PST

or use this link: https://www.google.com.au/?q=countdown+to+8%3A15pm+PST#q=cou...

A gated experience to watch the unveil video?

Is Tesla desperate for leads and sales? This tells me Tesla is hurting for numbers or they're worried about GM Bolt and others. So they want to spam the interested parties or keep them from committing to other brands for the next year or so until Model 3 is available.

BTW, Bolt has already been unveiled [0]

And some manufacturing has already started [1]

You can fill in false data if you like, they aren't checking.
