Elon’s 5 part Trilogy

[mitch672]

Whatever he's revealing today, I bet the number "42" has something to do with it, since that's the answer to the ultimate question

(Now to figure out the question...) hhgttg obscure reference.

@joefee: Tesla posted the announcement on 3/31, and it's completely legit. The NASCAR piece, though, is clearly an Edmunds April-Fools Day prank.

If there were FOUR additional state by state Supercharger announcements following the profitability announcement, we would reach the 5-Part Trilogy. Elon is currently heading to Texas.

Dated :4/1" on Tesla Investor site (see the link).

The joke is on Edmunds…there will be a Tesla NASCAR supercar, just a question of when not if IMO.

Restaurant at the End of the Universe = partnership with MCD or SBUX to accelerate rollout of charging network = putting money where his mouth is.

Tesla to make (correction Tuesday) - Page 49

I just hope it's not the darn restaurant (2nd part)
DNA/The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

That would mean lots of noise for a cash infusion for more SC, which were supposed to be deployed anyway in meaningful numbers by the end of the year - boy, I hope I'm as wrong as possible

These quotes from the Mercury News liveblog were pretty interesting:

Elon: people are thinking will we announce some huge expansion of superchargers.
or something else really amazing
we will make those announcements, but not today
Elon says Tesla will make announcements every week from here on out.

Just finished watching the Bloomberg interview with Elon. Several things of note:

- There will be three more upcoming announcements.
- They will come with a cadence of one every two weeks or so.
- The first announcement will be about Superchargers.
- The second announcement will be about Tesla Service.
- The third announcement... he didn't say, but he said: "If you're driving a Model S, it's right under your nose"

Software update? Something in the car that isn't currently active... So perhaps wifi/hard drive.

I was actually hoping it would be a battery announcement That's literally under you(r nose) as you drive.

 

[Cattledog]

Steering wheel - driverless auto-drive?

 

[DriverOne]

Under your nose. Enhanced speech recognition?

This.

 

[DriverOne]

Under your nose? Maybe the car's nose? What would be awesome (but I doubt it's real) would be if the front bumper had some 'about to hit a curb or parking space block' detector under its nose. I never know quite whether I'm about to impact or still need to move forward into the space!

This is so cool! What other car can you buy and drive and continue to get neat announcements.

I bought my 2008 WRX and promptly got disappointed when they rolled out the 2009 with more way power and better handling.
