Now it's a copy and paste! Should hit the front of the press any minute.

Interesting speculation. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to drop M3 details (maybe not full reveal) to counter the Bolt announcement.

It'd be a good bet, since technically that's the only thing Chevy has on the M3.

I find it interesting how reactions to Tesla announcements seem to always go. There is a rather predictable series of 'Terrible Toos' that comes about. Too little, too late, too much, too soon... It seems that those who complain can never seem to quite make up their minds. That said, if it turns out that the 215 mile minimum noted at the Model ☰ Reveal Part I was a typographical error, and that it should have been shown as a 250 mile minimum instead, I doubt too many would complain.

Hmmm... All that sounds strangely familiar somehow...I dunno... I can picture something like this:
"Another example of Tesla's dysfunctional and horrible communications. They can't even get a simple thing like the estimated range right. Grow up, Tesla; you can't hide behind that "startup company growing pains" mantra forever. And Musk needs to go. Can't have the head guy contradicting and changing the company's announced plans with rogue tweets... that's assuming the company even does any planning beyond Musk's thumbs (seriously, someone should take his phone away and stomp on it). I'm selling my 15,000,000 shares immediately. The company will be gone before October 17".
Eh, Hints and details about the Model 3 seem better reserved for the reveal part 2. And that seems better hyped up. While Tesla tends to announce small things like new battery size without any real warning. So, something in between is likely. Autopilot could make sense, but it's not really a product or unexpected (unless you consider the unexpected part being the timing not the product (if you can call autopilot a product)).
My best guess is something along the lines of wireless charging? IDK.

Skipping over the Y? You must be joking.
I had hoped it would be a part II for the 3 but realistically it looks like Autopilot. I'll admit that this isn't really a "product" like Mkorpal said but maybe Elon thinks it's that impressive to warrant the product designation.

So that people know that the week later announcement will concern the solar/powerwall/etc integration, so that they don't mistakenly believe that the first announcement will concern powerwall.
I would agree. I have a feeling that if this isn't AP 2.0, it will be a supporting technology that leads further towards autopilot advancements, and an HUD is definitely one of those. My guess is that it will be discussed as a safety improvement to keep your eyes looking ahead and not have to glance down anywhere.
