Tesla Product Announcement at noon

[Odebek]

It's a Solar roof shingle....yawn.....

It's a Tesla product announcement, not Solar City... They aren't combined yet.

 

[3PHASE]

Model 3 design refresh to steal any imminent Bolt thunder/announcements.

8.0.....and hoping for 100D also

 

[aronth5]

obviously folding second seats for Model X.

 

[Dynastar]

Things we think we know/have been widely reported:

-100 pack coming real soon
-AP 2.0 hardware transition beginning soon/now
-8.0 in beta

Things that haven't been reported but make sense:
-S/X interior harmonising.

Ohh, that would be nice.

 

[thnp]

Will there be some kind of stream, or will it just be a tweet/update on their homepage?

Is there an imminent Usain Bolt announcement? I thought he was done after the Rio Olympics

 

[ElectricTundra]

Wireless charging?

 

[DCWitt]

EV Firmware tracker updates to 7.1 have slowed, so I'm betting on 8.0 firmware.

Because that wouldn't cause current owners to revolt...

What does sharpening a pitchfork sound like? Because I'm pretty sure I hear something off in the distance...

 

[dmckinstry]

Well, that would make my next Tesla (after the Model 3 for my daughter) an X rather than an S. I want the height and seating of an X, but no less potential space than an S.

Doubt the announcement will be anything hardware related (i.e. autopilot 2.0, new battery pack) as this could jeopardize Q3 deliveries…specifically cars that are in transit that do not have the new hardware could be refused by their owners which would negatively impact delivery expectations.

Also, historically, Tesla has made hardware announcements during the first couple of weeks of a new quarter (dual motor, ludicrous mode etc.) for exactly this reason.

Guess we will find out very soon!

That's exactly why I'm thinking it'll be a "hey, this stuff is in flight now" kind of thing.

 

[sandpiper]

Ok, I'll have to remember to invoke power this next time. Thanks.

If I had my wish, it would be that Elon is announcing that they're firing everyone in the UI team and hiring skilled people that know how real interfaces actually work.

You don't have that power; just me.

 

[sandpiper]

That's exactly why I'm thinking it'll be a "hey, this stuff is in flight now" kind of thing.

That's what it would be... everything in flight already has a software upgradeable battery. Although, now that I think about it Tesla did announce the D while the non-Ds were still shipping. I don't think that went too badly. Whatever got cancelled/refused became inventory that they resold fairly quickly into markets where AWD isn't very important.

Currently shipping 90s are probably already 100s so that wouldn't be a problem. AP 2.0 would be more of a problem unless a refit was also announced with cost less then or equal to $2500.

 

[Cloxxki]

100kWh pack confirmed already in refresh models. Free upgrade. New buyers pack same price as 90 currently.

 

[Pando]

It'll be a new RadioFlyer Model S with a refreshed nose.
