I know - but you have to know to get to post number 1016! Roadster 3.0 - Page 102 Also - it is news. Happy Christmas!

Roadster 3.0 *prototype* confirmed After Elon's Christmas Day tweet, this blog has just gone up on Tesla's website: Roadster 3.0 | Blog | Tesla Motors it confirms some details including a 31% improvement in battery capacity, aero and rolling resistance improvements and a planned 400 mile test...

And another - Roadster owner in Edinburgh (sadly only one in Scotland). Have driven as far south as Goodwood but would prefer somewhat further north - Cotswolds sounds better

365 Wh/mile average seems exceptionally good. What speeds were you driving?

The first of those attachments just seems to be nonsense in places, and it contradicts things in the second. Its just a draft and far from the end point is my view.

Thanks for the very quick transcript

Early design stages of Gen III. A little smaller. S = 5 series; Gen III = A4, 3 series Economies of scale because greater volume Learning from Gen II Wants to do something more - but they don't have it yet Style will be "in family" with Model S and Model X - - - Updated - - - ... once 200...

Elon is enigmatic in answering a battery swap question - into "optionality" but not too keen on battery swap but "maybe something to say in a future announcement"...

1/2 MWh of battery storage capable of sourcing 1 MW at some SC stations

This announcement is actually better than I expected - and some Europe (and possibly elsewhere) Super Charger announcement will come "at a later date"

Grid failure tolerant - even in the event of Zombie Apocalypse - sez Elon

Grid storage at Supercharger locations!
