Update: this site says 'a bit more than 2 years'. Hopefully that is more accurate! http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetel...conference-call-expected-to-focus-on-model-s/

Q/A now... (listening live on BB terminal)
transportevolved 1st question.
Roadster upgrade?
finishing safety validation for larger pack. late next month production.

 

[jhm]

This is luuuudicrous!

 

[hershey101]

1.1 g acceleration...

 

[hockeythug]

They should really only do press releases for these types of announcements. I learned my lesson from the previous ones and sell before them so easy money for me I guess.

 

[eloder]

My take-aways so far on most impactful stock movers:

1) Silicon annode. This is tremendously huge.
2) Annual pack upgrades (alternative revenue stream to ongoing lack of maintenance on the cars)

New battery chemistry.....interesting.......a few threads I know around the forum will be on fire later today.....:-D

Am I understanding correctly that the 90kWh battery is a 3000$ "option" for the 85kWh pack?

 

[hershey101]

~3.3 0-60 for X (un-tested)

 

[hershey101]

7.0 sw upgrade?
its being tested everyday... no clear timeline yet from elon...

- - - Updated - - -

people who are listening in and wanted to sell have sold... now the sellers will come back when big media picks this up...
I bet we open lower monday, and recover

From Claudia Assis in the MarketWatch blog:

"In a separate press statement, Tesla says Model X is on track for deliveries in two months and the Model 3, the planned mass-market car, in a bit more than two years."

 

[EnergyMax]

Did he say when the S90 and Ludacris car would be in the website Design Studio?

 

[Gtoffo]

Every time those reporters write Ludacris instead of Ludicrous I loose faith in the human race and want to pull my eyes out......
