What's the 1st Easter egg?
My bet is the hard drive that holds 75K songs will be one of the announcements!
What's the 1st Easter egg?
I wouldn't call these "easter eggs" in any sense. The series of recent announcements began with profitability for Q1.
I think the correct use of the "easter egg" term in this context would be a hidden feature in the car, usually with entertainment intent.
Gizmodo has a nice visual history of software easter eggs for examples including one on the Tesla Model X.

Tesla is also revealing a small Easter egg today: all 60 kWh cars have been and will be built with Supercharger hardware included. Tesla is taking a slight cost risk that ultimately all customers will want to buy the Supercharger upgrade and receive unlimited, free long distance travel for life. Even for those that never drive long distances, this will improve the resale value of their car to people that do.
Most of the above being true, their own press release called the SC hardware an Easter egg
It fits the mold well enough, as a hidden surprise already present in vehicles delivered to customers. Quarterly sales results, P85 service loaners, lease programs, and the presumed new Supercharger locations announcement do not. The fifth announcement is more of a mystery and I wouldn't be surprised to find that it consists of new functionality hidden in 4.4 until the announcement date. Perhaps we will get an Easter egg after all.
This was my guess as well. 4.4 is being pushed out to enable new functionality. A single bit flip on an endpoint somewhere could enable it. My guess is either the hard drive or wifi.
I'll be disappointed is the surprise is wifi or the hard drive as both of those were promised when we bought the car and not really a surprise. Should be functionality we did not expect.
This was my feeling with the lease announcement. Why should it be a big surprise when they promised leasing anyway? Oh, because it's a pseudo-lease. We're going to get Pseudo-fi
