It's been downgraded from an unveiling to an announcement... This explains the lack of invites to an event.

He needs more time to prepare and verify slides for the proper hamster ratio to autopilot miles driven.So what kind of announcement would benefit from a couple more days of "refinement"? Maybe refining the specifics of the announcement rather than refining the product being announced?

Moving the Tesla announcement to Wednesday. Needs a few more days of refinement.

The delays seems to make sense for Tesla Vision / AP2.0.
I think you are right, but I'm hoping it includes the heads up display. Seems like a stretch, but I think that would move the demand needle, if not share price.According to Elecktrek.co the announcement is for Tesla Vision (in-house MobileEye replacement).
They have a good track record for calling these things ahead of time (some well placed sources and a sense of credibility towards the journalistic standards of Mr Lambert do help here).
So yep - that's my guess (i voted AP 2.0 above).
[Western media] tell it like it is. Just because worse examples can be found does not take away from the fact that suicide nets are needed at FoxConn and that's a point of interest, and perhaps a moral dilemma, to someone in the west with an iPhone in his pocket.
But back on topic -- I say the announcement will be AP2.0 with the potential to be fully autonomous with future software updates.
The suicide rates at FoxConn are half the national Chinese average, so FoxConn is doing relatively well.
We just don't comprehend the sheer number of employees they have.
This being teslamotorsclub forum I dont think its the best place for this conversation.
...I think Tesla/Musk may have found someone with very deep pockets (like a Google or an Apple) to buy into Tesla....Any thoughts on what else it might be?
Really? refinement? Whatever.

I agree. I think they need more time to refine *how* it is announced
How can an announcement need refinement.
That sounds like cheating to me...a simple demo software that tells the car what to do on this specific test track.
If Tesla is training/tweaking a neural network that needs to interpret data from even more cameras and radars, and they have also sped up development of AP 2.0 compared to whatever internal schedule existed before, then "a few days" of "refinement" makes perfect sense - perhaps running more corner cases, difficult road/traffic scenarios etc. If you have a more likely idea of what refinement is referring to let us know.
I'm going with "refinement" meaning they are ironing out the software for AP 2.0/Tesla Vision before they demo it. I would not be surprised if Elon has aggressively whipped his team to speed up AP 2.0 by a couple months - in order to juice orders more, increase confidence in the company and help push through the Solar City merger - and they are all sweating bullets and surviving on Adderall, Provigil and cocaine right now to get this done.
By the time Wednesday comes it will have been downgraded from an announcement to a memo - on a post it note.It's been downgraded from an unveiling to an announcement... This explains the lack of invites to an event.
