0:27.8

The Model X reveal event recap, this is October 4th of 2015 and as you heard at the top I was indeed at Tesla at can't quite

0:37.4

call at the Tesla factory because it was actually at a adjacent building the

0:41.5

apparently I'm told the former Salindra building, just down the street

0:45.9

from the actual Tesla factory, but I was there, it was a heck of a night, I recorded the whole thing,

0:51.5

I with me chiming in a little bit here and there so if you'd like to hear that that's actually coming up next but if you don't just skip ahead about well 26 minutes from when this little segment ends and from when you
