I was hoping to see more news (that I hadn't already heard) other than the one piece of info I quoted. What's the "lots of news"? I didn't see anything new other than that one. The test track info was posted here a week ago. It was very nice to see Devon's video highlighted (but that's not news either). I was hoping to hear about the ramp-up. We were teased with that new quote on the home page (that links to nothing), so I was definitely expecting to hear about it.
I'm sure for most who read the blog, most of it was new. Not everyone is staying up to date about everything, as many of us are here on the forum.
Regarding the ramp-up, aside from the current number which they let us know, it's probably lots of little things happening, little things which, in general, customers should not have to worry about. They improved the programming of some of the robots, and so on.
We'll soon have the first forum members getting deliveries, and from then on we'll continuously learn from them about the exact features being delivered each time (such as already on the Tesla forum from one or two of the founders). We want to know so many details, it would be very difficult for Tesla to give a consistent picture about all of them each week. Sure, an update about the opportunity console would be interesting, but it seems that the shelf below the touch screen will be standard, while the other components will be retrofittable and are probably not ready yet for an official announcement. The ramp up probably progresses each week based on exactly what happens in that week, and isn't predictable until it actually happens, in general.
