Tesla Product Announcement at noon

[ModelNforNerd]

A "hhhmmmmmm" moment:


Earlier in the year when asked about Autonomous driving/Model 3, Elon had said their would be a product reveal later in the year. Is this that...? Is this the "panic button" in reaction to today's Mobileye/Delphi announcement (as others on here have alluded to)?


And if so, this sets up the potential for what we've been talking about over in the Model 3 area......since the cat will already be out of the bag re: Autopilot v2.0, why not just have a Model 3 drive itself onstage in early December as part of the Model 3 Reveal II......?

Finally!!! That Keurig in the glovebox I've been asking for over the last 3 and 1/2 yrs !!!

You won't be allowed to refill the water, however....... Need to swing by the SvC for that.

You guys are a disappointment, how are we not at 10 pages yet?

I seriously doubt Elon would put together a "panic" announcement in reaction to potential competition. It doesn't seem like his style. With everything Tesla has been though over the years I get the sense he thinks much longer term than that.

New products available to order soon are usually accompanied by website updates - the site used to go dead for a short time before announcement.

No such happenings as of yet. This makes me believe it is just M3 reveal-part-2 date announcement.

There is no information about conference call, could it be a blog update?

New Tesla software limits size of webpage, limits impending carpal tunnel syndrome, and side effect increases the number of webpages...

If it's "just" that, I would be more than happy! I need more M3 info

How will the announcement be done?

Will it be streaming live?

From a source a few minutes ago. This source is generally quiet about Tesla internal happenings but has never once given me incorrect information about an upcoming Tesla product change.

1. 100 kwh battery. All 90s shipped since early august software upgradeable at cost.
2. AP 2.0 not available until late next year.
3. Interior upgrade for MS to match X

The source is my dog.

Worst case for someone in order week for X basically

Hmmm... pretty interesting that they were waiving the $1200 delivery and destination charge on a model S (not sure about the X) up through yesterday the 22nd and now today an announcement.

I can confirm that the offer did not include the Model X. Model S only. Didn't realize it expired yesterday though - interesting.

This will likely be a "hindsight" situation on our part....but IF the announcement is AutoPilot v2.0 -related, it may be fair to connect it to the Mobileye/Delphi announcement.

While it hasn't been his style....there haven't been many competitors in his arena for a while. It's easy to say you've never had a reactionary announcement when no one is building anything close to what you are.........

Some kind of battery technology/packaging announcement for Tesla Energy and possibly for Tesla Motors as well. It's not something that will be available soon, hence a press announcement rather than a full-blown product reveal event.
