I would like to know if there will be developer conferences on a regular basis, once the App Store is out.

The shareholders who will be present will get the oppertunity to ask questions during the Q&A session.
I would appreciatie it of somebody would ask questions regarding the second production line and the increased production capacity at the Tesla Fremont factory. How many cars (S/X) will they be able to produce per week when they will be producing at full capacity at the end of 2015 (assuming there will be no supply chain constraints)?
Qs to ask:
Why isn't Tesla contemplating building the batteries themselves in the gigafactory, why do they need to partner with Panasonic?

Curious what is the projection/best case scenario in terms of Supercharging speed. Can we double/triple the current charging rate? 200KW/h, 300KW/h rate anyone? When will we achieve 5 minutes, half charged (170-200 miles)?
What about battery swap?
What is the actual 'Tesla' annual capacity for the Fremont factory? Can they actually produce 500,000 cars per year?
Is there a link to a live stream and what time does it start?

I can only guess what part of the Fremont plant is a bottleneck and what would be its bottleneck capacity. It may be their press. If that is the case, current press capacity determines the plant capacity. Few posters pointed out that adding shift may not increase capacity and that is very likely imo.
My guess is that their current capacity is defined by the capacity of their plant's bottle neck.
It's not the presses. When I toured the factory back in February at 3:00 in the afternoon I asked our tour guide why the presses and cutters weren't running. "Because we only need to run them for a little while each morning to make an entire day's worth of panels."
The presses that Tesla already has in place at Fremont are sized for making parts for 500,000 cars a year.
I don't want to start a unique thread for this but.
To our Norwegian posters what does bilkyndige mean?
I just don't see a need to ask max capacity when it has been stated quite a few times already that it would be 500k and that is what they are planning for is 500k. This is also reinforced given that all battery assembly and production will be moved to the new factory, and guess what it's yearly output rate is? 500k... They have also said before that the battery factory would only have capacity to fill out Fremont and nothing more... as in... they will need more than one battery factory and more than one car factory in order to go over 500k. Where is the confusion in capacity?
As for the timing... According to the documents they gave on the factory, they are shooting for full capacity by 2020. So I would say that until you hear word otherwise that they are building a new factory (either Battery or Car) that the ramp up to 500k will peak in 2020.
This has been pretty clearly outlined by numerous sources and restated a few times by some of the same sources.
Edit: I am not one of the talented Tea Leaf readers here on the forums, I defer that to other people, so there is no speculation involved in this post... this is purely what has already been stated by the company... So the REAL question would be: Do you see yourself adding another Car Factory and Battery Factory into the mix before 2020, and are you planning to produce MORE THAN 500k cars by 2020?
Because it is not really a question of if they are going to hit 500k with Fremont, it is a question of if they are going to hit more than that.
