Unveiling on Oct 17th

[Model 3]

So... when's part 3?

Next year

 

[emir-t]

Great. I thought this wasn't going to be of any importance so I could sleep and find out in the morning but Model 3 part 'deux' is enough of a reason to stay awake, til 3am...

Wait, what if the windshield goes "live" on all Model S/X vehicles with 8.1 SW (HW installed just dormant) - could explain the double vision / ghosting no-fix! That would be super awesome ..but likely just wishful thinking on my part.

 

[malcolm]

Excellent.

Model 3 part two followed by Presidential debate part three.

All-American efforts to reduce accidents followed by an all-American train wreck.

That's a nine point ohh on my irony meter.

Going to reveal the changed trunk.

 

[electracity]

Wow, Musk said "end of year" and he is doing it in October. How unMusk-like.

So the S/X will have the new toys now?

Tesla VP of retail hints at ‘drastic redesign of its retail concept’ ahead of Model 3 launch

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Elon made another ambitious announcement of them starting Model 3 production even earlier, like they pulled 500k a year figure from 2020 to 2018. This is because comptetitors have actually done a lot since Model 3 unveil and here I am about to order a brand new 41kWh Renault ZOE to keep me going until late 2018 (date I'll get my Model 3 earliesy being in Turkey)

That being said, 2017 Fall is ambitious as it is. Plus Elon said they wouldn't need cap increase in even Q1 and we know they haven't got tooling yet. Hmmm, can't take this anywhere. Really excited to see the hopefully redesigned front though.

OR Elon will pull a Panenka on all of us and 'do the obvious thing' which is AP 2.0 and he will just go 'I meant AP 2 being included in Model 3' and that's all we'll hear of Model 3. That way S/X demand might be spiked again along with the 100D release, cash flowing in, avoiding cap raise thru Q1. Makes sense?

Buy your own Tesla franchise! That would be a new product out of my price range.

Maybe they'll go the Mary K route and sell that way...and give away pink Teslas!

 

[plankeye]

I think Elon saw that we were all getting pretty antsy without any real Model 3 news lately, so he figured he better bump this up a bit. I can't wait!!!! Thanks Elon!!!

Well, safe to say none of us would be expecting that.

Not now anyway

#where'smy3-gasm?

 

[S'toon]

It occurs to me that Musk has really bad timing. A product announcement just before a Presidential debate, which all the world's media will be focusing on?

When he tweeted:

"This is also what I was alluding to by Model 3 part 2"

We all expect there will be Model ≡ part 2 sooner or later. The product is expected but the timing has been unknown.

So, is it something about Model ≡ ONLY for this announcement or is it ALSO an additional sidekick for a main product announcement that is not expected?

You mean people are still interested in hearing a Presidential debate about an expected issue "grab 'em by the p@@@y" rather than an unexpected product announcement from Tesla?

I'm certain that anything they announce (autopilot 2/telsa glass) for the 3 would come to the S/X first. This is why these things have not been announced already. Tesla doesn't want S/X orders to delay because they know features are coming soon.

So a 3-gasm could turn out to be a 4-gasm?

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

now I'm really confused.

 

[Weezer Fan]

BTW-where do we see this announcement? Tesla website?

Elon Musk says Tesla will announce ‘Model 3 part 2’ at 8PM ET
"We don’t know if the announcement will consist of a blog post on Tesla’s website and a Q&A conference call or as a full-fledged video presentation — but we do know that press are not in attendance."

 

[andrerodpt]

Any one wanna bet Tesla will increase the pre orders in a number greater than the expected Bolt production for 2017 in the next 24h?

 

[erha]

I bet they release newest number of reservations and announce that the steering wheel is going away --> fully autonomous except a joystick for manual takeover
