Does anyone notice how much Tesla appears to have planned for March/April 2019?
Mar/April-19 - Launch of AP HW3 production
Mar/April-19 - Ramped up production on new SR Grohmann module lines at GF1
Mar-19 - Panasonic 35Gwh/year run rate at GF1
Apr-19 - Panasonic moving S/X production to US (according to Nikkei)
Early 2019 - Supercharger V3 launch
Mar-19 - Model Y Reveal
Mar-19 - Possible Pickup reveal
1H19 - Solar Roof production ramp up at GF2
Apr/May-19 - S&P inclusion
I think many of these could be related:
Towards release of Supercharger 3
Of course, launch of AP3 itself may be the most significant development in Tesla's history.

I think many of these could be related:
Towards release of Supercharger 3
- Model 3 module production is moved to new lower cost Grohmann lines
- Model S/X cell production is moved to GF1 with current model 3 module/pack lines repurposed for S/X
- Upgraded S/X batteries allow launch of Supercharger 3.
- Launch of AP3 increases take rate of FSD and allows recognition of FSD revenue, significantly increasing margin per car.
- New Grohmann lines lower module costs per model 3
- S/X cell production at GF1 increases Panasonic's economies of scale and leads to lower cell pricing for Tesla
- Launch of SR option supports production ramp up from c.5k to c.7k, lowering production costs another $2-3k due to lower depreciation and staff costs per car.
Of course, launch of AP3 itself may be the most significant development in Tesla's history.
