It was an error on my part, to be sure. He strung the two notions (v6.0 and the SDK) in one continuous stream of thought, and I got so excited I didn't listen to it again to make sure my interpretation was correct. Lesson learned--listen carefully to what Elon is actually saying! :tongue:
EDIT: One question, mostly for any software developers here. Musk suggested that 3rd party apps would be here by 2015--how much lead time would a developer need with an SDK in hand to put together an in-car app that would be polished enough to pass Tesla QC? Obviously that last part would be pure conjecture since we don't know how stringent Tesla will be when it comes to approving 3rd party apps for launch in vehicles, but...ballpark--what would be a guesstimate of development time? 3 months? 6 months?
The reason I ask is that if Musk expects 3rd party apps to be available by, say, the beginning of 2015, shouldn't the SDK be released earlier to give developers time to work apps up?
