I'm expecting the AWD to be at NAIAS as the i8 is about to launch and an AWD S would steal the show as it would be faster and hopefully a higher top speed.

The i8 will hit 100 km/hr (62 mph) n less than 4.5 seconds and keep going up to 155 mph.

Sure would be popular in Germany.
Anyway, I look forward to driving a 4WD performace car in the snow. It will make my skiing trips much more enjoyable. The Model S performs good in snow, as does the roadster. But 4WD should be a substantial improvement.
Everybody here seems to be assuming that 4WD means the same motor in the rear of the MS will be in the rear of the MX. Could it be that a motor with only 2/3 of the power is installed in the rear and another one in front? It was discussed before that perhaps different gears would make sense. All of this could also be controlled by software.

We still don't know the details concerning the AWD Tesla System and how it works. Hope that Tesla will release some information on this matter soon.

This video is a week old or so but I don't think it's been linked here

The interesting thing is that he essentially confirms that they'll be building a giga-factory and the reasons why it makes sense. (I really think that's what the building next to the Tesla factory in Fremont will be although I'm not sure if that's even Tesla's property). Also, he discusses China in a very passionate and excited manner. Seems like they must be doing well in China. These are two things I'd expect them to discuss on the Q4 conference call.
Update: Looks like it was linked and discussed a bit in this thread. I still want to post it here b/c I think it's pretty relevant to the short term stock price.

Take a look at the movement for the last 6-7 trading days: Tremendous resistance. We are also getting pinched at the lower support, purple. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. WE NEED A CATALYST!
We are also coming back down to the neckline of the inverse head and shoulders:

Thanks for posting this video link here. Very informative.
Here's a rough transcript of the part of the video at 14:53. Bold face is my annotation.
Interviewer: One of the worries which everyone has is if you start doing hundreds of thousands of electric cars and that 18650 which your battery are using, it’s almost impossible to get those delivered. The total capacity of all the batteries won’t be enough to satisfy the Tesla hunger. How are you going to do that?
Diarmuid O’Connell: Well, I should say first of all, we’re technology-neutral and form-factor agnostic. So, right now we’re finding the 18650 cell form factor is ideal for what we’re doing and for the foreseeable future will continue to be right. Going out a couple years the supply chain is going to be constrained. So, we’re already making investments in that area ourselves. One of my business development efforts is focused on should and how Tesla perhaps enters into that business ourselves. Elon has announced that we will be developing a giga-factory for developing cells ourselves. In fact, we are already using cells we designed ourselves. It’s just that Panasonic is manufacturing them for us. It’s the next logical step to go into the manufacturing. Particularly because right now we ship cells from Japan to the United States to be assembled and the cars come over to Europe. That’s not very efficient. So we need to have a closer and more domestic supply of cells, so we’re looking to do that and get that business started in the new year.

RobotGrease,
love your color on the technical analysis, keep it coming. I've never been a believer in TA but since watching yours and AustinEV's color on technicals for the past several months on TSLA I'm starting to catch myself wanting to believe in it.
Hopefully the Jan 8th meeting with employees or Detroit show next week will yield the catalyst news we need to break out.

Thanks for the kind words. I myself find TA as a helpful tool for rationalizing movement and calming nerves.
I recall talk of the Jan 8th meeting, but don't remember where. Can you point me over to that discussion?
There is discussion on another thread about an 'all hands on deck' meeting of all Tesla staff sometime this week. This discussion also includes debate about what the substance of that meeting might be. So, double speculation: Will there be a meeting and what will it entail?
A catalyst(s) will probably result:
Positive: Introduction of features and timetable for 'X'
Introduction of AWD system (in S?)
Discussion of NTHSB results
Neutral/Positive/Negative: ???? Unionization ?????
Any of these will have effect on short term TSLA. I am not sure how unionization will affect TSLA. Thoughts?

Unionization would be a huge negative for Tesla IMO. Thats why I think it was down today, albeit only a little. Elon knows whats best for the company so I trust he will make the best decision regardless, and I like to think the market feels this way too. It is sort of a messy subject matter though, so hopefully it is taken care of quickly. I don't think thats what the "all hands on deck" was referring to either. I was always view that statement as sort of a positive, getting pumped up, ready to do big things message. Such as getting excited and ready for the final Model X to be debuted. We do have to remember that the Model X, AWD Model S, NHTSA results, etc are all just rumors and speculation, though the evidence does point to them being very likely. Thankfully, the rest of the market does seem to be rather oblivious, there is also lots of upward potential, and of course that very high short interest, so if any of these rumors do materialize it will be explosive. I do believe the odds are in the bulls favor right now.
The decision to unionize, or not will be determined by an "employee" vote. My gut instinct is that the employees would not approve a union measure. That would be a boost for the stock.
I would be very surprised if more than 10% vote for union, if there is a vote to begin with.
I bought some Jan 31 $155 strike calls on Friday and today. Not sure of any significant movement of the stock this week - my bet is on the reveal of Model X during the Detroit auto show, hopefully with some cool surprises, as well as any news that will come from the Panasonic press conference at the auto show next Monday.

Detroit auto show
I just thought this was interesting. There won't be many PEVs unveiled at the show, except maybe the Model X. Could be good for Tesla as long as they follow through.
