Elon "About to end range anxiety"

[PaulusdB]

Just a reminder as to where to go on the Tesla website to find the 0900 PST press release and a link to the press conference call, it will be here Introduction | Tesla Motors (thanks Bonnie)

Thanks for the heads-up on the link, but I expect it to start at 09:00 PDT.

Yes, a little less than 2h from now

The problem with Elons tweet is that the fools on the financial networks, trying to find something to talk about, will run with the ball, make predictions and then be disappointed. And that means negative publicity which is not good for Tesla.

A few of the "news" sites like cnnmoney and usatoday have made fools of themselves, but the financial markets have mostly been "mildly curious". I think you might be confused by 983 posts here... The financial services carrying items about Tesla ending range anxiety is actually a sign how brilliant Elon's tween was.

When it comes to range, have no fear,
for "das endelichen Lösung" is near.
No-one know what it'll be,
But at 9 PST,
Elon will make it all clear

Though technically incorrect, generally PST is treated like PDT, at least by people in the US. Yes, technically it is PDT but most everyone (that isn't a computer) assumes daylight savings time is observed, at least that's what I thought.

For anyone confused, PDT is PST with daylight savings time calculated in. PST is in reference to the time without observation of daylight savings time.

Yes, get out of our focused, scientific thread!

How disappointed are people going to be when he talks about the changes that have made it into 6.0 and 6.1 and then makes more vague promises about navigation in 6.2 and 6.3 and then it's a wrap... No hidden batteries, no better algorithms, no major partnership. That's my prediction.

So we are just looking for a press release or is anyone here on the call? Is there any live feed?

Surely there is at least a hashtag?

If there's none then, being Scottish, may I recommend #RangeAnxietyNoMore

 

[Airwolf]

Perhaps it will allow us to pull into a regular gas station and fill up with gas! LOL!

 

[Panu]

Are we going to get to 100 pages or what?? :biggrin:

 

[muleferg]

What would that be GMT? :love:

Having someone live tweet would be nice. I'll be in a meeting. Calling in might look strange... but following it on twitter should be fine
Volunteers?

OK I thought it would be in 10 minutes but it is in 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Already at 100 pages

You're not helping yourself. You just added a post.

Also, because you were "wrong" on the Internet, I was forced to post to correct you, effectively making your post worth 2 posts.

 

[Footbag]

Someone's gonna owe us an MS if we don't get to 1000

Is there any particular significance to 1000 posts in a thread? Has it never been done before? Just trying to understand (and helping out 'the cause')!

Last idea before the call: In a new partnership with Exxon (or Shell or other oil company), HPWC's installed at every Exxon (or Shell or other oil company) station.
OR
In a new partnership with Starbucks (or Olive Garden or Chipotle), HPWC's installed at every Starbucks (or Olive Garden or Chipotle)

May be he will limit energy consumption by 100 watt per km at most
simple way to double range ( standart is 200 watt per km)
