Interested to see if Elon talks about model 3 progress.

I recently took my first drive in a Tesla (model X) from Utah to Vegas. I have to say, driving in auto-pilot the entire way was quite an experience. The technology, screen, and "nerd candy" onboard is really amazing.

How self-driving is the auto-pilot?

Very good. Totally impressed. The lane changes were a little bit more "aggressive" than a human might do.

From the notes on the Reddit thread:

•On Track to deliver the first production model 3 next month. Then configuration would go live.

•Kept configuration simple.

•Got overconfident with the Model X. Should have released it over a few versions.

•Model 3 configuration: What color and what size of wheels. Not going with dual motor since it doubles the problem of things going wrong. Early next year for dual motor config.

•Long wait if you haven't put down a deposit. Probably 2019 if you put down a deposit today before you get your car.

I'm surprised to see Elon answering questions from the slides that he hasn't seen before the actual meeting.

I thought he would be someone who prepares extensively to feel as comfortable as possible in front of an audience. That's a bad assumption on my part.

He's said before that he likes to treat presentations like a conversation with the audience, and barely prepares at all (in the context of SpaceX though, where being exactly correct probably matters somewhat less).

Is there a live blog of this happening anywhere that I can read later?

The shareholder meeting will have a transcript

There's an amateur synopsis on the reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/6fnj78/tesla_2...

I've owned one share of Tesla for a few years. I'm not a US citizen. I've never received any notice about voting in shareholders assembly. It's not a huge concern for me (if it was I would complain to my broker) as it's just one share after all, but is this normal?

You should check with your broker. They should be giving you some kind of notification. Maybe it's a message in a digital inbox that you have to sign in to see?

/sigh

I watched it without Flash Player O.o

Chrome has flash built in.

It also works great on my computer (Mac without Flash installed) and I'm on Firefox 54.0.

Mac + Chrome = Now Tesla live for you.

Doesn't work on my Chrome for Mac.

At least didn't ask for NPAPI to be turned on
