Here are some take aways from the event with Elon tonight:
- Germany is Top Focus for Tesla right now, planning big investments
- First 6 SuperCharger locations for Germany will be announced in a press release on Thursday
- SuperChargers will have 135kW
- there will be a free High Speed Performance Upgrade for the German Autobahn (also available as retrofit)
- until end of 2014 there will be 30 - 40 SuperCharger in Germany
- power folding mirrors can be retrofit
- the plan is to sell more Model S per person in Germany than in the US
lots of questions answered, I hope somebody can post a video
Update. Some more things he mentioned (but I might have gotten some details wrong)
- there will be an executive back seat option available in the future. But that will be only 4 seats and not 5.
- the springs of the seats generally will be also improved
- Panasonic will raise their production of cells to allow for a 'theoretical' weekly production of approx 1200 cars
- no plans for an electric E class from Mercedes, only B class which is already a big commitment for Mercedes
- assistive driving options (adaptive cruise control, lane control, dead spot detection) will be available probably by mid next year
- no plans for solar panels on cars
- new software update is coming in December
- no SC capabilities for roadster
