X Takeover - Oct. 10th - Presented by: SiteVue AI

an amazing blessing alone to be able to have the event at kind of the mecca of Tesla and oh my gosh, just the mecca of AI at this point, just given the awesome area and what Tesla has going on. But as John mentioned, this is just crazy event. Crazy thing that we're doing together, amazing just people that are coming from all over the world. I think we posted something in the other day of just all the different countries and continents that people are coming from to together together and just support the mission and just have a great time with each other. Ve, we do have Kelvin G as well, we'll pass it over to him and we'll kind of bounce around here and then we'll go over to site you and kind of get a little sneak peek too of what they have planned for this event. Yeah, hey everyone, this is Kelvin. I think I know many of you guys here thanks for joining our spaces. We're gonna give you guys a rundown of what to expect and then some unique things that we're planning. The first thing I'm gonna talk about really is just the location. I still remember after last years takeover, Tesla called us into their offices just to debrief last year's event. Last year's event by all metrics and standards was our best takeover ever. And so we went into Tesla's office and they basically threw us a proposition. He was like, hey, what do you guys think if we actually held takeover at giga Texas? And I still remember John and I looked at each other and we kind of, you know, we then we looked back at them and basically said, well, we like the idea, we're just unclear of what the reaction will be because we're based in the Bay Area that we have a core membership base there. And this is not our core, it's not in our backyard unlike last year's event. But we said, we're open to the idea. And so we also made the decision to go with it and Tesla's been a great partner up to this point in terms of planning this event, going through all the proper approvals. But I still remember when ticket sales first opened up the reaction from this community was just mind blowing. John, I don't remember how many days subbed but we basically sold out and eight days. Yeah, eight days. Eight days. Yeah. And in previous takeovers, we were still selling tickets, you know, up leading up to the event. We were take walk-ins, are you typically, that's not gonna be the case this year. So obviously we made the right decision. The reaction from this community has just been unfripping real in terms of their enthusiasm. So I just want to say shout out to Tesla, shout out to everyone involved in terms of planning this event. It could have been made possible without you guys in terms of the support we've gotten from the community, the reaction. So it is on 1010, our version of 1010, which is next week Saturday event runs from 10am to 6pm. It's at the East parking lot outside of Gigatexis. So it is an outdoor event. And then at 9pm, we will have probably the most epic drone and light show ever created. So that's something that you guys just need to be aware of is we have a very, very full day on Saturday, 10 to 6 main event, and then we'll be switching over and transitioning to the drone and light show, which we anticipate will happen at 9pm. So what else can we expect? So content, Stevenery announced our announced keynote speakers. So obviously May must, who's our first keynote speaker, she's a return keynoteer. We had just a great reaction from May a few years back when we hosted her at the San Luis Obispo location. And she quickly agreed to be our keynote this year. So we're super excited to have May. She is releasing, she's actually already released her new book, Timeless. So check it out, if you guys haven't already. She'll be having a fire site chat with John and myself. She's also hosting a meet and greet. For those who are lucky enough to get the golden ticket of the VIP performance ticket to meet May and then have her signed a copy of her new book. Nicki Minaj has also joined us. So you saw her announcement video a few months back. And the reaction has been just awesome, just to have Nicki be part of this event. And so, couldn't be happier to have her. We have some really cool surprises in store for her. And again, we have a meet and greet with her again, golden ticket, select handful of people were lucky enough to get the meet and greet with Nicki. So we're happy to host her at X Takeover. And she's been a great partner. She's been very enthusiastic. She's been accommodating with all of our requests. But she's also been very enthusiastic in terms of wanting to be with us at X Takeover. Yeah, I think it's real quick on May. I mean, she came and spoke three years ago on her book, A Woman Makes a Plan. But if you haven't checked out her latest book, it's very, very, I would say graphic and very, like she really takes you behind the scenes of her marriage, her childhood, what it was like to be a single mom, running a dietitics business. And coming here to America and the key moments in their family's life, really. And it's not something that I think, because she shares this, is like, just standing up for herself and speaking out. And you really see that throughout this whole book. So I think it's going to be really special. So if you can, go listen to the audio book. If you don't have time, if you're driving along, it's literally a five-hour listen and you're done. But it really just gives you perspective on who, like I just have so much more understanding of who she is and her kids, just because of that book, as much as I already knew. And then, so huge thanks to her, because she was really, we actually funny enough, we didn't even tease her coming. It was just like, hey, tickets are on sale. She's the keynote speaker, where you found out when you hit the landing page. And eight days later, we're literally sold out. And again, as Kelvin said, we move this all the way from California to Texas. So it really speaks volumes of just how Texas is really the mecca now, and central to the United States, but just of Tesla. And so thank you to a lot of the attendees who this is their first time. And then with Nikki, like I said, that was like a complete, it was not on my bingo card for 2026, let alone probably. It just was not on my radar, whatever. It's been someone that I've listened to for so many decades and just so many of her music. Just it's everywhere. It's been everywhere for the past several decades. And so, and obviously, too, all of us in the Tesla and SpaceX community know Starships were meant to fly. That's literally like the one song that everyone plays when we watch these Starship launches. But super gracious, she's been awesome to work with. And it's been just such a blessing to see also the communities who have a lot of synergies and who've been through a lot of similarities through the people that we support, whether it's Elon or Tesla, and in their case, Nikki, the Barb community. So it's been really cool to see these communities come together. And again, I know that having someone like a music icon, the Queen of Rapp come to kind of like a technology focused event is a wild, it's complete X factor in a lot of ways. I mean, that's why it's the X takeover, I guess. Now I'm sure people. But so either way, Nikki has been super gracious with everything. And I'm so proud of this team and what we've been able to come up with to bring those really the four announced keynote speakers together and speakers. It's been such a blessing in such a wild ride. And I will say lasting because I don't want to talk too long is that for me, everyone's like, are you ready to get this event over? And I'm like, no, I want more time to just run up to this event because I'm enjoying every minute of seeing all of your guys post and the excitement and the videos and the swag that you're buying and the stories you're sharing that we've been also resharing. So it's just been a complete blessing. And I just want to say thank you so much to everyone who's coming all the sponsors like site, UAI, Kelvin, Steven and Joe and people like Ted who are just behind the scenes and making this stuff happen. It really is just an absolute blessing. So I'll pass it back to Kelvin. Sorry about that. Yeah, I know, right. So the third keynote is Franz. He's a dear friend to the club and everyone lives Franz. So we're going to talk all things design with Franz and see what he's been up to. And then our latest keynoter is Eric Early. Many of you guys don't know who Eric is, but he's the chief engineer for Tesla CyberCab. And we got to know Eric early on when he came to the Santa Ana row location when we test our first launch the CyberCab. We really got to do a way for our site chat and get into the engineering details behind the car. And that was a couple years back. And now the CyberCab is for real. And so if he was part of the launch event and we got to sit down and chat with him a little bit as well, but now this is the opportunity to expose him to everyone. And so he eagerly accepted our invitation to take over. Takeover, so we're excited to have him on the main stage and we're going to geek out and all things CyberCab. We talked about our sponsors. We have over 30 sponsors. And we highly encourage you guys to patronize all of our sponsors when you get to takeover. Many of them will be exhibiting some really cool, unique services and products. And a shout out to SiteView AI for being our presenting sponsor. So we're going to bring Andrew up on our spaces here in a few minutes and have him speak a little bit about what SiteView is all about. And why they chose to sponsor, be the presenting sponsor for takeover. I mentioned Tess has been a great partner of ours. They're going to bring some pretty cool toys. So we haven't really announced any of their activations yet, but we have a call with them tomorrow just to finalize everything. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Takeover also features really cool cars. And so this year is no exception. We have a cyber truck district where there's going to be up 50 modded cyber trucks. Really, really cool design, some creative lots, body kits, overlander packages, you name it, you'll see it. So there'll be some really cool stuff to see there. We also have some really cool customized modded Tesla. There's three's wise, some asses, original OG Roadster. So with the customized Tesla's, you guys get to choose which one's the best. So we're going to have a People's Choice Award where you can vote on your favorite modded customized Tesla. The cyber truck district will be judged by a panel three judges and they're going to get some cool, some really cool awards and enterprises for the cyber truck district. I can't go talking about takeover without talking about the probably the most exciting part of takeover which is the factory tours, right? We're having this event outside of the factory and Tesla's been gracious enough to offer us, offer you guys a limited number of tours on Thursday and Friday. And so again, for those who are looking enough to score tickets, these are really highly coveted opportunities to see inside the factory where a lot of creativity and engineering marvels get created. I do want to say for those who do have their tours scheduled, emails went out a few days back. Again, Thursdays and Friday, Tesla will be sending you emails 24 hours before your scheduled tour and they want you to sign their NDA and the waiver form. So I'm getting a lot of questions like, hey, I haven't heard from Tesla yet because Tesla won't send those emails out until 24 hours prior to your scheduled tour. So that means you'll get those emails on Wednesday if you're tours on Thursday and if you're tours on Friday then you'll get those emails on Thursday. So check your inboxes for that. We talked about unique, unique opportunities with May and Nikki. We also have influencer tent opportunities where you can meet a lot of creators and influencers. So shout out to Sawyer Mayor who's this is gonna be his first takeover and for those who've never met Sawyer, really cool dude. You can meet him along with some really great community members, boomer mama, Tesla Tino, those goes on and on. So unique opportunity, shake the hands and ask questions that you've been burning to, burden questions you've been meaning to ask your favorite social influencer and content creator. Tesla's gonna bring some toys I mentioned so we're gonna have an experience outside of the fence where we'll have vehicle operations and demo drives. So you'll be able to,
