Unless your chat is with Elon...
Take it with a grain of salt...
Granted, if it's Elon... you can add some time after January 2021...

I was thinking the opposite, I think it won’t live up to the hype.

People have built up this event in their minds to a pretty crazy degree.

That’s exactly why I think it’ll be somewhat underwhelming. Elon isn’t exactly known for truth telling, in fact he’s known to over exaggerate, in my opinion if Elon has to hype the event up, it’s not going to be all that eventful.
I have.
Happiness is about managing expectations, so I guess I should go manage them a little better.
(still ascited, 'though!)
Wait, you mean they won't be introducing a 1,000 mile range, flying crime-fighting car that can travel through time?? C'mon Elon get it together!
Saying it will be interesting isn't the same as hyping it. Not sure where I was hyping it or claiming it will be spectacular in any way. I am curious and interested in the event and, based on the click and effort to post, you are too.
Elon almost certainly will have at least one surprise but the battery tech is what everyone is actually interested in hearing about.
i suspect new Model S Plaid version will be in the $135k range. And will be faster than the recent lucid air results.

I am also somewhat in this camp. neuralink was going to blow our minds per Elon before their last event. While it was cool not sure anyone’s mind was blown.
As far as I recall historically Elon’s superlatives have been the opposite. When he is quiet though watch out. A Roadster jumps out at you.
I see but will you still read about it afterwards or even tune in? I might not tune in but I am very interested. Not that I'll be buying a new model S. I might not ever buy a new model s but I'm still interested in the event. Hype is just part of the show with Tesla. I'm desensitized I guess or plain jaded.

I probably will not tune in, but I’ll definitely read about it afterwards. I’m still curious what they have in store. I’m just keeping my expectations to a minimum.
I’m thinking we’ll see a small battery tech improvement that’s going to be coming sometime in the future, an update on the plaid model s which I think will be a repeat of what we already know. Certainly no specific timeline or release dates for anything. Maybe a roadster update but again nothing we don’t already know
Now a mind blowing event would be a plaid model s that you can order right after the event is over, and it’s got 500 miles of true range, 250kw charging capability and performance improvement over the current performance model.

Except Elon has already confirmed many times that the Plaid version is coming. Previous date Elon tweeted was this summer, so it is already late.Unless your chat is with Elon...

Many are theorizing that the new plaid version is going to be a $40K+ upgrade, so if true it won't tank sales.
Newer S & X from 2020 can already charge at 250 kW since 2020.28.5 or so. Some older S & X can charge at up to 200 kW. Hopefully plaid will be capable of 350 kW or more.
