So I was just like you. Beating myself up for not taking the 100% profit I had when the stock hit 262. But I settled for some 80% towards the close. I didn't want to play the event-risk with that position. I setup a 260-270 call spread instead.

Also he said the internet has already guessed it but doesn't understand the magnitude.
I took that to mean dual motor, but that people don't realize how much more that does than the AWD they are used to in ICE cars.
bit bummed re X, but still very much looking forward to tomorrow night.

Elon Musk Teased Another Announcement Is Coming Tomorrow Besides The Tesla D - Yahoo Finance
According to this article it's something current owners can just turn on, as well. Wow, we got some good hints this time. I guess losing the VP of communications brought out old Elon
Hmmm, so no Model X (or Model 3) tomorrow.
Maybe the focus will be on AWD Model S and drive assist. And maybe we're underestimating how far Tesla has come with drive assist? I don't know.
Nope. Now March 2015 is possible, but I'd like to see January 2015 as latest date they start.
Perhaps the other letter is E. When being asked about "the other thing," Elon recounts how they were going to make the Gen III the Model E, but due to Ford, they had to change to Model 3. He then says "so when I say that we're about to unveil the D and something else than I kind of dug my own grave on that front."
So I'm thinking "E," perhaps "Y."
Probably thinking from what I want, but I hope it's "E" for range extender, a metal air range extender.

He did say that D was guessed "directionally" right, but scale was not appreciated. To me this, unfortunately, means explaining things that are exciting to engineers and driver enthusiasts to population at large, hoping that everybody get as excited as engineers and driving enthusiasts. It is, unfortunately, a loosing proposition. As I belong to the enginneers and driving enthusiasts group, I am super-excited about the dual motor AWD system, but at the moment, not so much for the stock. I certainly hope to be proven wrong...
I wouldn't underestimate Elon. When he says things like "magnitude" we often have +$15 days out of nowhere. Either way, this is going to be fascinating to digest after market close tomorrow night, and another great chapter of progress for the company.
what goes with dual motors? my guess is a higher density battery pack will be introduced with the dual motors, using the new higher density cells.. might even be required. the "P 85 D" badging could have been to keep it under wraps. we'll know soon enough.. Elon has often said, "why not a 500 mile battery?" (other than cost of course)

It has to be something current owners can just turn on according to the yahoo article. Nothing people are suggesting fit that criteria, IMO.
He didn't say which current owners, though. The few recent people that got speed assist and lane warning also have an ACC button.
