Caught the tail end of the event. Elon definitely comes across as genuine and a real person. That said, a little practice in the stage presence / showmanship department could certainly help things flow smoother and amp up the excitement a bit; something this brand and its cars deserve!
I found a Periscope stream on Twitter, keeping an eye on that to know when the event starts. Hitting play on the live stream logs a 403 forbidden from Akamai on the official stream, I'm not confident it'll work when there's actually some content.
I do wish they had used YouTube for live stream, instead of livestream.com, like SpaceX. Less janky.
Looks nice. Is this really an SUV, though? It looks like a sedan.
I'm on the market for a car in Bay area and was considering Tesla until met with somewhat uninspiring people at Tesla dealership delivering conversation in kind of "Yes. No. Thank you" manner leaving me with impression that they were busy with something more interesting than my presence and hoping i won't keep asking these stupid questions about tesla cars. Were i suppose to make an appointment to avoid being an intr…
Sounds like you want to buy from salespeople on commission.
The car looks absolutely beautiful. Sadly, as much as I want to go electric, I have no use for it, at $140K for an SUV I expect a lot more than this. I think the falcon doors solve a non-existing problem while parking.

Tesla really needs to earn the title of luxury. The S-model really does have one of the worst interiors I've seen on a brand new car at any price. They really need to hire someone from Land Rover or Mercedes to understand what luxury actually looks like. They can't use the cheap plastics and leather and expect people to look at it as a luxury car. It's a shame when the exterior is so well designed.

Not being pushy is not the same as seeming disinterested. Compare with Apple stores sales staff - also not on commission.
He's claiming 6% possibility of injury during high speed collision. Imagine any other CEO saying something similar for their product - Elon is the man! Any other suit would say "Five star" over and over.

That's an odd expression: "comes across as genuine and a real person". Aren't we all real? Is this a fantasy?
Genuine as compared to other CEOs talking about their products. See: recent talk by Blackbery CEO.
