Unveiling on Oct 17th

[HookBill]

In my simple findings in an area that has plenty of Teslas I would tend to say it very well might be. Nothing scientific tho' to back it up. I'm actually on my way to see my financial adviser now who owns a MS85. She has no clue about TMC, AP2 nor was she aware of the congestion problems at SJC where she charges on Sundays when she goes to the gym and leaves her car.

Ok... I will go in with my guess:

Tesla Solar Yachts... in the likeness of SolarWave Yachts cruising catamarans.

If I am right, consider this a deposit on Hull #1, founders edition red. And I am STILL in line for my Ironman suit...

 

[HankLloydRight]

I'd guesstimate that the number of people holding back new orders waiting for AP 2.0 is about the same number (or proportion) of existing owners that understand supercharger pairing.

What to fix?
(1) drop the expensive and embarassing (to many) gullwing doors. The kids are getting embarassed waiting for the gullwings to open up (10-15seconds, and another 10-15secs to close) while other parents are waiting to clear the drop zone.

Looks more like 5 or 6 seconds to me:

And teach the kids some self-confidence.

 

[⚡️ELECTROMAN⚡️]

Awesome way to embarrass the kids. Just wait till their peers see them exit the private jet. Is there a hilarious first world problems thread yet? If not, I think I'll start one.

First post here, been in the background for some time. Tesla and TSLA fanatic here.

Not sure if this has been speculated here yet, but is there a chance that the product is related to the gigafactory? Perhaps announcing long-term plans for more locations? Elon has described it specifically as a product in the past. Just my two cents.

Hmmmmm ... factory is the product. Factory shutdown in Fremont. Some sort of Factory product at the Fremont location? That would be too simple.

Please Monday just come I am getting a headache reading all of these outlandish speculations

Don't let facts get in the way

 

[tander]

You know we haven't heard anything about that James Bond car lately. Maybe it's an amphibious model or a boat? Probably not but it'd be cool. Or maybe a MX off-road version? Or maybe a drone?

 

[andrerodpt]

So when all the Model 3 designers put down their collective pencils, what do you think they all did?

My guess: sleep

I would hate being limited to under 12 mph... give me a silent electric speedboat

Agreed... They make 3 models:

Diesel / Electric
All Electric
All Electric + Sail...

I will take the all electric + Sail...

 

[dgindio]

Or...
Solar powered cupholders in the frunk

I'm starting to think it may be an inverter to go with the new powerwalls ... given the proximity to the release date before the vote, it would be a positive reinforcement of the synergy between Tesla and Solar city. Tesla has some pretty good high power inverter technology.

Elon tweet : Tesla product unveiling on the 17th (unexpected by most), followed by Tesla/SolarCity on the 28th
------------

I've been thinking more about this, and suspect that the "unexpected by most" product announcement has nothing to do with the Model 3 or AP or anything in Elon's Secret Master Plan Part Deux. I think it will be...really I have no idea.

 

[disagree]

Well, I hope it's AP2, because then my wife will let me order.

 

[DriverOne]

A Roadster - based on the Model 3 sled.

I think the Model 3 interior unveil will come later in the year (December).

While the inverter would be a Solar City announcement, I was just reading (lost the reference) about the potential of a new DC/DC home car charger hooked up into a PowerWall/Solar Panel setup...

This would be more like an un-expected Tesla announcement!!

 

[sillydriver]

if AP2.0 doesn't get announced soon, more folks will delay ordering their Model S/X this quarter. It is a pressure they have to release.

Whether the announcement is of AP 2.0 or not, I think your comment is a very good one. The only way there isn't a drag on sales that increases with the passage of time is if most sales are to luxury car buyers who don't follow what goes on with the company or with the technologies it uses. But since Tesla doesn't advertise, I think those potential buyers tend to know and talk to owners who likely would be aware of these issues, or they would do internet research that would inform them about these issues.
