Hey wow it's Simon Hackett [1]. I wouldn't be surprised if he did this for free - he's always been a big supporter.

I did just on principle. So Tesla can enjoy their millions of undeliverables and bouncebacks. Good luck on those leads Tesla sales.
nah they just want the number for marketing purposes >1 million tuned in to watch the unveiling and we got this list of emails to prove it >dick@dick.penis
Wow, Donuts Domains is making everything a TLD nowadays.

#23A 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] [0] http://arstech…
Bolt? That's a car for girls(at least by design).
Collecting emails is a good marketing tactic and they won't load the servers with everyone.

#24EDIT: Found a live stream on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FLSxJjdnLU
Also, I made a reservation at the Fremont factory today. Took around 15 mins including line, but I went in around 10:30-11am. I'd estimate there were around 600 people before me in the morning. Fairly certain they will hit 100k before the stream starts.

If this thing looks even remotely like a bolt I'll be mashing the refund button. I'm expecting something more like a Nissan Maxima (S) -> Nissan Altima (3) not Cadillac -> Golf Cart.

#26Oh, good, "unveil" is a noun now, too.
Actually the title was originally "Model3 Unveil Live-stream [video]" but it mysteriously changed to what it is now. I'm not complaining though.
We changed it to the page title, which is what the HN guidelines ask you to use in the first place, unless it is misleading or linkbait.

#27>Flash plugin missing >Get the latest Flash player to view this content A car from 2016, a video from 1996. Edit: https://www.ustream.tv/embed/22190759 , original link had a "html5ui" parameter but it doesn't seem to help. Livestreamer with --default-stream mobile_720p gets 403.
Yep. The player on the event screen (after you fill in information) has no timeshifting controls either. Stuck watching the whole thing with no fast-forward or rewind. Just tried to do so but got bored after 10 minutes of Model S commercials.

Since its nounage was baity enough to elicit off-topic snark, I guess we'll go for the gerund.

They had lines around the block at stores all over the world today, with people reserving a car they haven't even seen yet, and putting down $1,000 for the privilege. I don't think they're hurting for numbers.
