I know we had one for Q2, but here is the one for Q4.
My question would be: When can we see a model S AWD?

How's this?+ 1. I would also ask when the driving assistant package will be ready?
paraphrasing previous Musk utterances said:We prefer to use the term auto-pilot, as our approach is more like what airplanes use. We believe that Google's approach, while interesting, isn't the best path. We don't have much more to disclose at this time, but I can say our first implementation won't be aiming for 100% computer-controlled. Something around 90% is reliably achievable relatively quickly.
How's this?
I think the questions should be more related to the actual investment perspective and while I agree that AWD might increase customer base and therefore might be a relevant question in liaison with Model X unveil and launch the collision avoidance etc is more for other fora than earnings report.
It's good. IMO main purpose of the driving assistant package (or autopilot) is to help the driver in emergency situations at all speeds. So it's right that it has not to be 100% computer controlled.
I agree that Google approach (100% computer controlled) is not the right approach. This approach would eliminate the taste of driving, would be very expansive to develop and IMO wouldn't add any feature of safety with respect to a semi-automatic autopilot.
I wouldn't say that 100% computer controlled is not the right approach. Just not the right approach for the Gen 3. The systems Google is developing are expensive and won't be ready until the 2020s. For the Gen 3, the 90% controlled makes a lot more sense considering the timing and costs.
"Roadsters now support 120 kWh (super)charging"I know that it's not most peoples main interest,but I'm wondering what the big surprise for Roadster owners in 2014 will be?
I'm happy you have a Roadster and supported Tesla early on, but from an investor perspective I hope that Tesla Motors isn't wasting time on that as I'd rather have them doing everything possible to improve cars being made/sold now or in the near future.I know that it's not most peoples main interest,but I'm wondering what the big surprise for Roadster owners in 2014 will be? With Model S being the money maker and big production model for Tesla at this time, us Roadster owners would like a bone thrown to us now and then!
1. Will there be a Giga battery factory? When? Partner?
2. The recent purchase of more robotic equipment is known. When will it come on line? What will it be used for?
3. Model X: What are reservation numbers? When will we see production? What are production goals this year?
4. China: What are reservation numbers like? Any progress on using the Tesla name there?
5. Supercharging: Will there be additional charging speed upgrades? Can older vehicles be retrofitted to take advantage of these changes?
6. Model E and Y: When will we see a prototype(s). When will reservations open?
7. Beyond E and Y: There is rumor of a TM Truck: Will this be light duty (ex: Tacoma?) medium duty (ex: Ford 150-250) or heavy duty (Ford 350+)
8. Battery packs: Will we see a 110KW(+) battery pack? Timeframe? Retrofitable?

If it wasn't at the opportunity cost of time that could instead be spent on developing current/future cars then I'd be all for it.Curious that you think it is a waste of time making any improvements to a car only 3 years old. I would think showing cars are supported after the sale can only help future sales
I feel certain several things can be done with relatively low effort. At some point they will need to offer a new battery pack. What if they announced one. Using the Model S cells they could easily improve range 20% and show the world an EV can be upgraded and improved upon.If it wasn't at the opportunity cost of time that could instead be spent on developing current/future cars then I'd be all for it.
