This is pure speculation. But press release and press event at 1 p.m. PDT (4 p.m. EDT) and "fan" event at 7 p.m. makes sense...

E "That's right"..
V "You're going to talk about something that's labeled D"
E "Yeah, D, and there's another thing..."
To me it seems clear he's referencing the upcoming announcement in this entire exchange, not the current interview, and he's flat out stating the upcoming announcement will not be about the 3 or the X. Sorry to dash all the "X"-pectations but I believe wishful thinking has clouded interpretation in this case.

I'm eager to see the announcement but a little leery too.
If it is something like this, that will utterly decimate resale/residual values on the previously delivered cars. I have no intention of jettisoning my MS, but at the same time I'm not keen on dramatic increases in value for new cars coming off the line.
Well, OTOH I could perhaps be more enthusiastic if a CPO P85 with low miles were suddenly under $50k... exclusively to holders of VINs under 60k.

You know you can save yourself a lot of trouble by upping the post count per page in the settings. I have mine set to 100 per page. Meaning we are only up to page 9

It constantly amazes me (and I have been guilty of this too, so don't think I am singling someone out) how much people will continue to build up their internal expectations to something crazy unrealistic even in the face of evidence pointing them in the other direction only to end up totally disappointed when their wild expectations end up being dashed on the night of the event. I have watched this happen quite a few times, and it makes me sad because we end up shooting ourselves in the foot with these things.
AWD, Driver Assist, "something else"... whatever it is, it will be cool and I am happy with that. Would I love for a Model X or Model 3 reveal? heck yeah! But you have to set appropriate expectations.
Some more stuff from the same source:
"SR01":{
"category":"C_OPTS",
"delivery_date":null,
"delivery_date_warning":null,
"description":"Standard 2nd row",
"disclaimer":null,
"list_price":0,
"name":"Standard 2nd row",
"no_ui":true,
"price":0,
"price_indicator":"Included",
"toggle_pair":"SR02"
},
"SR02":{
"category":"C_OPTS",
"delivery_date":null,
"delivery_date_warning":null,
"description":"Executive 2nd row",
"disclaimer":null,
"list_price":0,
"name":"Executive 2nd row",
"no_ui":true,
"price":0,
"price_indicator":"Included",
"toggle_pair":"SR01"
},
So I guess the guesses for a 4-seat version are not that far off...

Ex got M3 in the divorce, waiting for EU Model Y!
Yup, the reddit stuff found in the javascript very much hints to what today's announcement is going to be:
1. D=Dual motor=AWD Model S
2. Option of executive back seat (4-seater)
... and that's it. No Model X, no Model 3, nothing else.
These are my conclusion, we will have the facts later tonight (for me in the middle of the night). This is not the investment thread but my short-term calls will all be sold today since this will not create a lot of move in the stock price.

I am believing more and more that its sure Dual drive but also a more sporty stance a la panamera with 4 seats more coupe in its character..... He did say he was glad he did not mention the other letter. And he was probably glad since the first remarks to his tweet were a bit bellow the belt.... and coupe could also be lettered bellow the belt ....... and it would not be too difficult to construct a coupe from the existing Model S .....
From there
I remember digging through the code when we were waiting for news on the S and coming to the same conclusions.
C'mon guys... 996 posts and counting. We can do it! We can hit 1000 random speculations before the announcement!
