I'm not sure about this article, the date is wrong, saying the event is on the 20th? Tesla Model Y Crossover revealing on October 20th! | Opptrends

I think they put the 20th because they are in Europe and it will technically be the 20th there by the time the announcement is made in California at 5 pm Pacific time on the 19th.

From the article:
What "massive evidence"? Love how these people just make sh*t up and try to make it sound authoritative.

Seriously. the only evidence of the Model Y was its mention in the Master Plan Part Deux.
But there was no timetable given. And no real details, other than it would be based off the Model 3 chassis....which realistically only has a handful of functioning examples in the world.
So it COULD be Model Y. (not likely). and if it is....it's nothing but pictures of it.
I'm hopeful it's Model 3 related.
There are a lot of naysayers out there regarding Tesla's ability to meet the production goals for Model 3. It would be a nice slap in their face if he had something to show today.

Looks like this announcement may be related to the Model 3 after all...

Whoa! Today's announcement is the second part of the Model 3 reveal? Since it is not a live stage event, I would guess that Tesla is going to reveal much more detail about the Model 3. That is fantastic news, if my guess is correct. Or I could be wrong...

If it is model 3 related. I'm going to bet it is the range. Since everyone is expecting 215 miles I am going to guess they were able to EPA test the model 3 for probably 240 or 250 miles range? Whether is is through lighter car, more battery, more efficient drive train, etc.
This boost in range would be indeed unexpected.

And we all figured it is AP 2.0 which may be included? Reveal part 2 was supposed to be a big tent event with a stage, food, press, pictures and the Model 3 racing around the track. At least in my mind it was

It would make sense from a business standpoint to announce better range and some more details right before the Bolt starts getting sold. Kind of naughty too!
I didn't think it would be anything about the Model Y now or anytime soon. Why announce a product that may well cannibalize sales from the first one you have coming out?

"Tesla announces today that Model 3 Part 2 reveals something we never saw coming... there will be 8 more parts to the 10 part Model 3 saga! Bits and pieces of information about Model 3 will be revealed every couple months until production. Keep an eye out!"
That article says, quote: "What saddens us additionally is the fact that today was the day when the Tesla Model Y crossover, according to all the massive evidence, was supposed to be shown to the world."
Huh? There is no "massive evidence" of any such thing. That article is nonsense.

Couple this with the tweet from the TeslaMotors (rather than Elon's) twitter account a few days ago about "Unveiling a new Tesla product this Wednesday", could this mean that there are two unrelated announcements today (Model 3 Part 2 and something else entirely), or that the new product is something that will be utilized across the board including in the Model 3 (which is being unveiled in greater detail today in Part 2)?

Could both be right. If they're announcing what's begun to be called Glass or Vision, both could be considered new independent products intended for Model 3 but eventually making it into the rest of Tesla's lineup. So it could be both a "new product", and Part 2 of the Model 3 announcement.

Maybe we read it wrong all along.
Maybe the ANNOUNCEMENT is new.
But not necessarily the product itself.
Hhmmmmmmm.
