As far as the Model 3 is concerned, plan on waiting until last week of July. That way, anything early will be a pleasant surprise. Easier said than done, though.

End of July in Elon time means Monday July 31st at 11:59 PM.
That is still a win in my book.

Or maybe even worse : a tweet from Elon on Monday July 31st at 11:59PM to say that it will come "at the end of next week".

There was a recent "study" that talked about CO2 emissions during EV production, and he's refuting the study.

It's not a "win" (IMO) if it's like the first MX deliveries. Basically five hand-built cars that didn't use the Gen Assembly Line.
A "WIN" in my view is 5 cars, but clear evidence that the M3 Gen Assembly line is been used to build cars on or before this initial delivery event.

Curious. Already capable of higher charge rates? Superchargers everywhere? 100kWh pack in m3? so many questions
Main reasoning for 2170's over 18650 is cost, not necessarily performance seems to be implied. You guys and all your battery talk over here lately....maybe Elon does read TMC

Can't say I'm excited about this news... Chris Lattner leaving after only six months.

I hope it explains the _last_ couple days and not the _next_ couple days.

Doubt this had much if any effect at all. Tesla news has been either overwhelmed by Amazon/WFM merger, or dominated by the release of NHTSA docs concerning last year's autopilot fatality.
Market participants generally don't trade on one hire or fire.
Quite a disparity between those in China, and incumbent automakers in the rest of the world in enthusiasm to move to EVs. Elon may see such potential "stealing" as a something of a "cloning" tool to multiply Tesla's catalytic effect in transitioning from a world basically producing ICE vehicles to a world basically producing EVs.
Do we already know a Model 3 electric car with batteries and all has way lower manufacturing costs than a base BMW?

It sounds to me like Chris Lattner just didn't have the expertise necessary. Apparently the new guy, Andrej Karpathy, is a leading expert in vision and deep learning, and he's coming from OpenAi so he's well know to EM who decided this is the guy they need. This isn't a case of Lattner leaving and needing to find a replacement, it's a replacement by choice. I think this is actually good news and progress is about to get a lot faster.
Edit: Also, remember in the shareholders meeting EM made the comment that progress was about to get a lot faster. I'm guessing this change has been in the works for a while and EM, Andrej Karpathy, and Jim Keller (the chip architect from AMD) have already worked out the path forward.

I believe Elon is referring to CO2 cost, and while he may not know the _exact_ CO2 cost of manufacturing a base model BMW, his assumption rests with the fact that the battery pack and drive train, one of the largest components of the car, was manufactured in the Gigafactory, which is 100% powered by renewables.
