I'm not so sure.

As the recent DriveTrain shuffle proves - Elon is very smart and chooses to set tough technical challenges for the political benefits they bring. An announcement on Whitestar specs and styling ideas at this stage is going to be a copy of a presentation to possible auto partners and investors, not customers.

It is likely that it won't push envelops and preconceptions as the Roadster did since it is all about attracting an un-innovative but affluent auto partner.

But how on earth is Elon going to manage to stop himself from losing his patience with such a company?
