About time to unveil the D and something else

[chickensevil]

For the Model S D sprint to 60 MPH in 3.2 sec. The fastest sedan in the world!

If this is anything like the more generous numbers posted on the other models it will likely be real time at 2.9 seconds. But even if not, Holy Crapola!

 

[Shumdit]

so is it D (ual) and D (river assitance)?
or is it D (river assistanc) and A (WD)?

I can see how D and D would be funny but not obvious. I suppose can get the anatomical reference for D and A.

This just in: USA Today will not be getting any more advance information since they can't figure out how to set their system to release it AFTER the event!

How'd they get the whole scoop before twitter?

probably a press release issued by Tesla...

Tesla gave the story to media in advance so they could make deadlines. I assume USA Today broke the embargo.

They probably got an embargoed press release.

 

[HankLloydRight]

Yeah, someone really screwed up the time zone thing. USAToday-- bad, very very bad.

 

[timpoo]

BAHAHA someone at USA Today is about to be fired. Or given the "D"

 

[Zzzz...]

Interesting. I don't see it, is there some mode, browser or setting one needs to see it in the thread?

You have to disable ad-blocking browser addons.

From the above mentioned article:

•The new system will move the car over a lane when the driver uses the turn signal.

•The car reads speed-limit signs and adjusts the car to the speed on the sign.


The semi-autonomous driving systems is getting closer and closer.

I thought it was funny they mentioned those things but left out ACC, which is presumably what will probably do 80% of the driving, especially in traffic.

Ad blockers might be blocking it. And, if so, shame on your for blocking ads on TMC!

Fair enough.

What I'm wondering is whether Tesla reveals everything in their press releases.

Anyone know how Apple handles its secret new products? I can't imagine they would officially tell news outlets ahead of time.

Apologies if this has been asked but is the event being livestreamed? I don't see anything on the official Tesla homepage...

 

[Alysashley79]

i can't see anything either. can someone please just post the link here to the live stream?

I'll bet they miscalculated the time zone differences and thought the embargo was over.

I can either watch the twitter in another browser or disable adblock plus and ghostery in my more secure browser. At least I know know what you guys were talking about.
