How could a thread based on a pending blog post that is a week late possibly go off-topic ??

You know, this reminds me of a story/incident/annoyance that I'm sure you all haven't heard about yet...
so as I was driving my AP enabled Model S down the rail line...

With all this extra time, and the number of ppl watching this thread, I'm surprised nobody has written a fake blog post.
In lieu of a fake blog post, this twitter account always delivers:

The problem with Sculley and team was that they had TOO MANY different product variations and self-inflicted competition via licensing Mac's OS to clone makers. The three most important things Jobs did to save Apple were: 1) Simplify the product line; 2) Secure a lifeline investment from Microsoft; and 3) Terminate licensing agreements with clone makers. Beyond that, everything else that Jobs did was repackaging and marketing. Most of Apple's products came from their labs, the only two attributable directly to Jobs - the original Lisa and the Cube - were standout flops.
The other amazing asset Jobs had since 1998: Tim Cook as COO. Apple could not have executed as well as it did for as long as it did without the amazing supply management skills of Tim Cook. Quarter after blowout quarter.

Hmm, you're agreeing with my point, but you're twisting a point so I feel compelled to respond, at least to help steer the thread back a bit
So we're talking about 7 now, (I do read this forum, as much as possible) ok as a Classic owner, you may have viewed 7's UI as a refresh without purpose. But if you read this forum you knew it was for new functionality called Autopilot.
And if you didn't get to have any of that new functionality, you may have suffered what was perceived as a useless design change.
Actual fixes and features should always go in before design changes, of course. That was my point, but not about 7 but about 8 (the topic is 8 not 7). So for 8 you actually reinforced my point as any UI refresh would presumably be strictly for aesthetics and not to support any new features.
The "UI refresh" is a running gag, I am growing surer and surer of it...
Dudes, I just realized why Elon's blog post got delayed! Burning Man just wrapped up. He's been on a bender in the desert!
Hope he wasn't caught up in this:
Revolution against 'rich parasites' at utopian Burning Man Festival as 'hooligans' attack luxury camp

Hmmm.... haven't been here in awhile since I got the MX but I heard about the 8.0 update. Delayed due to the SpaceX fire? Any real news? What will be included? How far back do I need to go to see any real information? Most of this is way off topic.

I'm usually quite partial to extended weekends but... if a weekend lasts a week, is it still a weekend ?
You have four hours.

No, JB is the CTO of Tesla Motors and he is also in charge of Tesla Energy. His technical expertise in the areas of EVs and storage batteries is exceptional. He has no time to be the COO of Tesla Motors.
Eventually someone will come along who Elon will feel comfortable passing the Tesla Motors CEO position on to. He may already have identified that person in his mind. We have no idea.

I think he is waiting until all of the cars without the AP2.0 HW wiring are delivered before making the announcement as to not hurt the Q3 delivery numbers. Perhaps this took longer than expected.
