Tesla Has Another Special Product Up It's Sleeve - What Could It Be?

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter this afternoon to announce an unexpected product launch event on October 17th, just a week away. He further noted that the expected Tesla/SolarCity announcement, which he previously hoped to hold at the end of the month, would indeed be on October 28th…

We have heard a number of things about the SolarCity event which many expect to also mark the closing of the deal. Fred broke the news of the more dense Powerpack 2.0 made with the new 2170 cells manufactured at the Gigafactory as well as the likely Solar Roof product which we’ve heard resembles an existing kickstart project.

Nothing to see here. Just the modern day Leonardo da Vinci changing the world for the benefit of some people who are too stupid to appreciate it.

By the way, Hi MDarringer!

Only take the recommended dose of your antidepressants to avoid euphoria.

Elon's comment about many people not expecting it is what is throwing me off. The wildest thing I could think of is an extreme performance Model R (roadster built on S/X platform) in secret development for the past two years that will have a high price tag and help fund the Model 3. Note the Model 3 requires a different line than the S and X, and demand from the S/X will likely fall when the 3 is widely available. That means they might be able to add a 3rd premium model like a Model R without reducing capacity for the 3 and future Y.

Just think if it's a phone. I wouldn't be holding Apple stock right now.

It wouldn't surprise me if you're right.

I hope it is not just an autopilot hardware improvement, that is the most popular rumor right now.
