Battery cells != scalable
Yep, I've thought the exact same thing, could be a calculated move to keep the the S the sales leader.

I suspect that there may have been two slightly different versions of the SMP2, one mentioning SpaceX explicitly as a frame of reference to the scale of improvement in Tesla's plans, the other without such reference. Now that launch went very well, let's go ahead and release version one of SMP2!

I wonder if he waited until after the successful landing to start composing SMP2. Might take a while to get all those thoughts organized. Hopefully someone is staying up with him to proofread before publishing...
I don't know where this would be "on topic" but if many of us feel this way, it's feedback worth trying to get to Tesla.
I can totally picture a friend or spouse singing the praises of the X to someone, only for them to go to the design studio, and just slam into a feeling of "no, no, not THAT. I will not be driving around in that." and not being open to even discussing the X further. I'm not joking. again, while I don't love the looks of the X, it's okay, but those design studio angles, especially in white, tough sell!

Nah. I think the more likely scenario is he drove back home from Hawthorne and will publish once he's home.

Choosing to instead post Tesla's plan after the rocket landing is only prudent, after all, he is under contract by the US government. If he posts before the spaceX launch and something goes wrong with dragon, he'll be scrutinized for not placing his focus in the right place, at the right time. I assume "afterwards" means after landing Sunday..

is it just in my head, or is there a continuous feed of techno music thumping along?

Another thought just occurred to me. Many blog platforms like WordPress have the ability to stage a post for release at a specific time automatically. Wonder if that's what's been done...

Elon know half "the world" is waiting for the SMP2. I would think this has been under writing the past week?

No, I didn't. I figured he posted that to disabuse of the notion those few people who thought he meant Saturday as the end of the week. In any case we'll know within the next 24 minutes whether he posts SMP2 by the end of Sunday PST.

He is checking out the landed first stage:
"1m1 minute ago

Out on LZ-1. We just completed the post-landing inspection and all systems look good. Ready to fly again."
