Wow, I was expecting the dual drive and safety features but not that many auto-pilot features! I can't wait until I can afford out of these! (will have to get my license first too... 
)
)
what I heard:
* 2-motor AWD
* 3.2s 0-60
* 155mph top speed
* better range
* electromechanical brakes
* full authority electric steering
* all cars produced in last 2 weeks have all the hardware to enable ACC, Lane assist, self-parking, etc.
* car recall (connected to the calendar) and car self-park (both on private property only) and lots of other cool self-driving scenarios to be enabled via updates in the future
I understand most of the hardware is not retrofittable. Major bummer for existing owners

"If you have to ask the price, it's obvious you cannot afford it"
when I bought my Model S, someone said to me "Cars comming out if that Fremont plant are going to keep improving, just realize that and be ok with it"

I agree.. Stock should respond nicely to this. It was a tsunami of features. I don't think that was all baked in to the current price.. Yippee.. Now I just need to find a way to upgrade. Hmm.

Would have been nice to for Elon to give a bit more info on how this affects the current lineup of vehicles and since they've already announced the Model X it would have been great to hear about how these updates affect it as well.

If they are putting sensors on all models at the factory, does that mean the safety features at least will be included at no extra charge?

So... uhhh, gently used S85 for sale, Any takers? (I so need to buy the new car... I wish I could afford it
Hah - ya beat me to it! Will the market be flooded? If I didn't actually have to EXIT the car when it pulled into the garage, I could actually use my garage! As is, the S's doors open too wide to fit.
But that doesn't mean all the features are free. They might include the safety features free but charge for the auto pilot features or something like that. Maybe they'll bundle the extra features into the tech package.

If the car can come and find me at the mall, meaning get out of it's parking spot and drive to me, it sounds like Tesla is pretty much autopilot ready, and will just be waiting on red tape to make it legal, hence the "only on private property" line. If it can come find me safely, then it can safely drive itself to a destination with me in the car too!

Good question. That would be really cool if it was a standard feature. On the other hand, it could work like supercharging.. All cars come with the capability, and the Tesla mothership just needs to activate it to turn it on - for a fee.
120k is what i just saw for a P85D (not from a known source)
probably doesn't include any options but dont know
