About time to unveil the D and something else

CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ELECTRIC VEHICLE - Patent application

The timing of this patent is interesting

...because they are about to release the Model X? Yeah, that would be a good reason.

My guess is that they'll unveil the production beta version Model X and some other big surprise but I don't think it will have anything to do with the Model S.

S owner and X reservation holder, no email yet. I'm hopeful!

Maybe I'm missing something but since Tesla released all their patents for fair use, wouldn't this apply to future innovations as well like the AWD?

 

[v12 to 12v]

I got an invite. Signature owner. Didn't deposit an X. I would put a deposit a coupe though!

What time did your email come in? Trying to figure out if they're still rolling out or if I missed this one.

For events like this they tend to roll them out, wait for the RSVP and then roll out some more if space is available.

What about Tesla iD?

Possibility 1 - Tesla's appstore, gives your Tesla displays a custom look, apps that suit you, etc.

Possibility 2 - New name for the Model 3. Mass market car, people want to be unique. Lots of colors, wheels, options...car, wagon, SUV, roadster, etc. Give your car your own personal "iD"

I know it's a stretch, just trying to guess something different from everyone else!

- The Beta will be on display and you guys invited will get to see it up close...maybe even get to drive one!

Very interesting!!!
Why would they brand them? Don't need them for testing.

*psst... do you see a tailpipe? It's probably the long-awaited Model S Diesel-Electric edition.*

Oh this isn't as exciting as it could have been...

Well that pretty much ruins the surprise. It is dual or diesel!

If diesel, hopefully clean diesel. We don't need no rollin coal Teslas around :wink:

Nice find on the wild shot too. More Info Please...

Very interesting. Too bad there's no side shot or interior shot. Is that Hawthorne airport?

 

[AlMc]

I'm an X reservation holder yes. I'm also an S sig owner, so it could be that too *shrug*

Just another point of reference. I received an invitation: I have a production S and am a sigX holder.

Yep. Confirmed. Here we go folks, proof

 

[MikeC]

Does anyone think the headrests of the front seats in that picture look different? Taller and skinnier maybe?

I would say that the "other news" is in fact the duel motors.

Duel motors would be a bad idea.
