Norwegian owners just received invitations to a reception with Elon in Oslo on Saturday February 1st. Looks like he has a small European tour
Wow, now I am wondering if he will come to Amsterdam as well? That would be really great.
Yea, Elon please visit Switzerland as well ! How about announcing a future production plant in one of the new EU countries ? Mega-factory would already be cool ; ))

The only thing I can imagine is EUR/USD movement and them being fair to their customer base. All other reasons are worrisome.

This forum is buzzing about lowering. Lowering the suspension was too hard, so something else had to go. European prices
(Sorry couldn't resist)
Yeah, i wouldnt read too much into that either. Probably jus compensating for Eur/Usd fluctuation. Usd/Chf may have beemn more steady.Hmm... No base price reduction in Sweden.
Haha... The classic misstake of mixing up Sweden and Switzerland...
OMG and I don't even have the excuse of not being European! I'm so sorry. This was a result of me reading the forum on my cellphone while participating in a 2.5 hour conf call at work. :redface:

There have been very few guesses on what announcement Elon might make during the appearance in Munich, so I am going to share my leading theory.
Re-watching the video from his last stop in Munich (linked below), starting at at 5:48, there were complaints from the attendees about the long waiting list. Elon responded "we are working on changing that very quickly". His next phrase, "we really don't want long term waiting list to be longer than 4 weeks", was met with loud laughter.
Seemingly taken aback by the reaction, Elon mentioned that shipments will increase "quite a bit" in Q4 (2013) and "there will be much more significant ramp-up in first quarter next year" (2014). The "much more significant ramp-up (of shipments to Europe) in first quarter" is not possible without either significantly cutting the US production allocation or significant ramp-up in production.
I think that the main message for the appearances would be imminent (or already under way) significant ramp-up in production from current 600 cars/week.
If this theory proves to be true, the end of this week will be very interesting
