Agree. I suspect we won't get as much information on future options as many wish. Be prepared for a number of threads complaining about this, but I'm sure that won't surprise anyone familiar with the forum.

I think it's less than 50% we will even see the configurator. Who would it be for? Civilians getting their cars middle of October? Think if there's a reason they haven't released it yet, there's no reason to release it into the wild Friday 2 1/2 months or more before the first non employee gets one
All the cars will still go to employees for the next two and a half months. So, I don't expect a full reveal of every spec/option.
Tesla won't reveal the performance specs, as they may not even know them.
We'll find out how far the 75kWh battery goes, and maybe they'll tell us how far the 60kWh goes, but not a guarantee.
The configurator right now is color and wheels, so not sure what opening it up will tell us. And, they haven't stated how long it'll be before real options become available.

I hope they reveal the Model 3 merchandise and accessories in their on-line store on the 28th as well.
I see from this thread one person knows his/her expected delivery date nearly a year from now and another person knows how many months of production -- rounded to the nearest half month -- will be dedicated to employees. This is surely more detailed information than will be revealed this week by Musk.

My guess here.....
FULL reveal, including AWD and Performance specs.
He will also take the time to highlight new and exciting things the S and X are getting, "as of (this morning) (the 28th)".
The recent performance upgrades to S and X will be highlighted as well, and we'll also learn that those new motors are being used, because they're also going into our cars.
As an East Coaster, I'm going to have to take a nap after work on Friday if I'm going to stay up past midnight. LOL

I guess you never tried Troy's estimator.
Many of us did because it doesn't hurt to try. Also, at least it provides context as to why I am really not in a rush to find out all the options (because the estimator did give me June 2018 for all types of configuration) but it's like anyone of us here is enjoying all this partial reveal where it so happens someone was near a RC or production model and was allowed to take photos here and there.

So it can only tow shovels?
No no, in spades. Meaning that if you build a giant hollow shovel, then you can tow while you're driving inside of it.
(It'll be amusing to see how badly its range will get slashed when towing, as Model 3 relies on aero and low rolling resistance so much. No matter to me, I just want to be able to haul timber and the like between my property and Reykjavík, 30-40km each way

A Model Y prototype would be a shocker.
Unless you mean the Roadster.....that I could see.
A Model Y would be a good way to read Tesla's intentions. If they wanted to shorten the waiting list on the 3 then they could introduce a Y prototype to encourage some prospective buyers to wait. But I think they'd rather keep their waiting list.
