Can this be bequeathed to one's successors? May be a while before humans get to Mars and some of us are old.

Unveiling on Oct 17th

Not debatable to me. Elon was clearly saying there will be a new product announcement.
SΞXY P100D
$ Trillion Musk
There was a spike of over 1/2 million TSLA shares traded after hours on Friday (yesterday). This could be big.
Disagree. He didn't say new. And he didn't say announcement. He said product, and unveiling. No?
Is it possible to add Aluminum-Air dual battery and New tire techonology to the list? These are new products, unexpected by most and inline with Tesla's mission to make the planet a better place.
For the dual-battery, there were numerous posts on dual battery testing and Tesla filed a patent a long time ago (just look around in this forum you'll find it).
For the new tires, please see this : Tesla selects Hankook Tire as main supplier for Model 3 tires
and this which dates back to 2012 :
plus look around on Hankook's website.
Sum all of that with the fact that Musk mentioned that Tesla will have to do partnerships in the future to succeed and we have an "unexpected by most" new product possibility. Tires are still filling landfills even if we do our best to recycle them and one thing that every mildly passionate Tesla driver knows is that we go through more tires than we used to
...
Anyway, these were my two add-ons to the poll please. Can't wait for Monday!!

In my opinion, "product unveiling" means announcing a new product. He sure isn't going to "unveil" an existing product; no one would care and it would be a waste of his time. In addition, since this "product" is "unexpected by most" that only emphasizes that it is new to the general public.
To review the list shown in the poll related to this thread: AP 2.0 is widely expected. So that won't be it. Bigger batteries are always expected, so that won't be it. Future Tesla vehicles as described in the Master Plan Part Deux (Y, Semi, etc.) are expected, so that won't be it. A non-Performance 100D version is not worth a special "unveil", that's a minor change. If it's a Supercharger-related improvement it would have to be a huge improvement to merit a special announcement, so I think that is unlikely at this point.
Something Model 3 related seems possible, perhaps this Tesla is about to increase its lead in semi-autonomous driving w/ ‘Tesla Vision’: computer vision based on NVIDIA’s parallel computing
It may be something that is not on the poll list. Perhaps a Tesla Glass related product, like user controllable electrochromatic windows.
Model 3 pt 2, with confirmation of deliveries starting 2H 2017 would be unexpected by most
But the original 3 event they invited a bunch of people to come see the car. Do you really think the second event won't be like that?
It can't be something that big, because it is a press release rather than a hosted event.

Neither really a "Tesla product unveiling" nor small enough to be a non-event.
Think small enough for Elon Musk not to go full spin, but big enough for a tweet.
I think that people who spend a lot of time on this forum do not belong to most. So just because you expect AP 2.0 is not the same as it will not be the product to be unveiled on Monday.

Anyone know what time and what location this unveiling is happening on Monday?
I haven't seen any details. I assume there'll be a webcast. When?

And Elon could be referring to unexpected AP 2.0 features even though AP 2.0 itself is expected. He's already hinted the near term future of AP is going to surprise people.

Interesting video ... the EV tire is brilliant

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Some 5 seat Model X reservation/order people are hoping that the product is a folding second row, 5 seat Model X.
The more I read up on the idea and possibilities of a Tesla Financing/Insurance product the more I'm leaning towards that. It's kind of unexpected, and could provide a solid revenue stream moving forward.
It's not sexy, but it makes sense, especially with Solar City's expertise in financing products.

Financing might be a little capital intensive. That might not be workable right now. Insurance would be my guess, and a step towards insuring their own autonomous cars in the (near?) future. I would think insuring their own cars, or an insurance partnership, would be required anytime the car is driving itself.
Didn't Elon confirm a couple months back that the next thing they would be releasing was something to make charging in apartments and street parking easier? Surprised I haven't seen anyone add that to these polls for next weeks event.
