WarpedOne Which is 100% electric transport with exception of rockets. Maybe they will announce EV pickup - Model T?
60kWh at the price of 40kWh Model S.
With supercharging and battery replacement options and lets say UPS on board, this could work and it WOULD be big.�
Apr 2, 2013
yobigd20 that's more of a gimmick than providing real usefulness. The amount of charge you get from this is negligible.

You should have the announcement of the Hyperloop on this list. He said he's got both Tesla and Space X engineers working on it, so its def related to T.M.�
Apr 2, 2013
Benz I hope that the announcement is related to technology development (battery technology, or Supercharger technology, or Hyperloop technology, or electric airplanes, etc.)
But I am afraid it will be more related to financial/economical/market/stocks aspects.
By the way, I like the picture of the pickup.�
Apr 2, 2013
JRP3 Fuel cells make no sense and are completely counter to Elon's vision. So no.�
Apr 2, 2013
erha The hyperloop would really be "putting his money where his mouth is", but I really don't see how it is relevant to tesla. I just hope it isn't battery swapping. That would be way expensive, but it could be something users would have to pay for�
Apr 2, 2013
Hasse Although I want to see a combined hyperloop/supercharger deployment as much as the next guy, it seems pretty obvious that it has to be something that increases Elon's or Tesla's risk but reinforces the electric car business case.
Such as:
-Battery buy-back guarantee
-Tesla Leasing plan
-"Half and half": Buy the car, rent the battery
or possibly some kind of x-prize, related to electric transportation and sponsored by Tesla/Elon.�
Apr 2, 2013
WarpedOne Battery swapping is a direct competition to superchargers. Now that they've committed to supercharges, battery swapping is out of the question for general public.
Hyperloop is plausible, rocket engineers would come handy and Elon has them. I doubt he has enough $ to make it happen though.
I think he is investing into some battery business with novel chemistries.�
Apr 2, 2013
ElSupreme This has me thinking. Perhaps a battery degradation guarantee. Like your 85kWh pack will have 80% of it's capacity after 8 years 160,000 miles.�
Apr 2, 2013
Hasse I know a lot of things you could do with 1000 traded-in 85kWh battery packs. Even more with 10000. I am sure Elon has a business plan for that somewhere in his drawer.�
Apr 2, 2013
ElSupreme He does. But it is on the internet!

And more here:

If this isn't Elon's big news, then it's pretty big regardless - since the cars were just ordered, and not delivered, they didn't even count towards Q1's profitability!!�

napabill Seems like a pretty good bet this is the announcement this afternoon. I'm betting Tesla is underwriting Project 100 in some fashion, thus putting their money where their mouth is.�
Apr 2, 2013
DrJohnM My thoughts...
Elon has noted in the past that the Tesla plug is much better than the competition, however, it does not support (in its current form) three phase charging. He noted at the Norway meeting a few weeks back, that they had a solution for three phase charging and that the charger is more efficient than the US model. He also noted an ability to plug into CHAdeMO chargers. I wonder if the 'announcement' is a revamp to the charging scope to include Mennekes Type 2 and CHAdeMO. I do not know if it is the case in the USA, but I assume that a lot of business (fast food outlets, shops etc) already have three phase delivered to them and it would be a relatively simple process to provide a three phase Mennekes plug.
There are apparently 160 CHAdeMO chargers already installed in the USA - access to those would be an instant increase in 'fast charging' facilities for Tesla owners.�
Apr 2, 2013
Jcmason Elon just tweeted: "Today's Tesla announcement is actually the 2nd in a 5 part trilogy (love Douglas Adams)".�
Apr 2, 2013
xtothem 2nd piece of 5 pt trilogy...?
Twitter / elonmusk: Todays Tesla announcement ...
It sounds like we may have three more exciting news releases on the way....let the speculation continue...�
Apr 2, 2013
sp4rk How many of the CHAdeMO actually work? In my area, Chicago; maybe 10%.
Hopefully he's buying 350Green (Charjit), or whatever the embarrassment is called?�
Apr 2, 2013
SoCalGuy I hope its more than that Project 100 - that seems so local/regional to be of any significance to those not in LV. I want revolutionary not evolutionary!�
Apr 2, 2013
Curt Renz Thanks, but I had found that earlier and it only seems to indicate that we'll be able to listen to a recording two hours after the conference call. Perhaps I should rephrase my question, "How do we listen to this afternoon's conference call in real time while it is actually occuring?"�

ADN_ModelS The SECOND book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 5 part trilogy (? pentogy?) is "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". Therefore I bet the announcement is a SuperCharger partnership with a major restaurant chain (Starbux).�
Apr 2, 2013
Sousaphil I love your reasoning and I hope you've hit the news. That would be HUGE!�
Apr 2, 2013
jvonbokel Does everybody else take that to mean that part 1 was the press release Sunday night?�
Apr 2, 2013
riceuguy Or perhaps we're all thinking about this the wrong way. What if to AUGMENT the supercharger strategy--which is all about intercity driving--they were installing HPWCs at chains like Starbucks? For in-city driving, it would be great to get a 25-50 mi/hr. boost (should I have ordered the twin chargers?!) every once in a while. Would really be nice to see 20-30 of those things around town. The local Tesla store is at my favorite shopping center here, and it's great to have the option to charge while you shop (and get the best spot in the garage while doing it!).�
Apr 2, 2013
mitch672 Someone over at "MyNissanLeaf" just posted he received an email from Tesla that he will have more information on his leasing question later today, so it's partly about a leasing program at a minimum.
Kind of makes sense, they need to keep the reservations rolling in, have to keep demand up, and lack of a US leasing option has kept many high end buyers away, many in this category/price range only lease...�
Apr 2, 2013
Bearman I agree with you riceuguy, hpwc is enough and simpler to install meaning much faster implementation.�
Apr 2, 2013

AnOutsider and a Bonnie�
Apr 2, 2013
Arnold Panz It does fit the bill because lease rates in particular are predicated on favorable residual value at the end of the lease term. If Tesla were to offer really good leasing rates (i.e., better than any ICE car at the same price point), it would be Elon "putting his money where his mouth is" in terms of being better than ICEs and holding their resale value etc. I think it's either this or swappable batteries, and would put my money on this because an affordable lease rate opens the car up to people who could otherwise not afford the car. That's the kind of game changer hinted at in his other tweet (this is more consequential than Q1 profitability).�
Apr 2, 2013
joefee Today Elon announces (on his nickel) that Costco and Walmart will put Solar City panels on their roof�s & a Tesla SuperCharger at all their stores�worldwide!
my speculation �. (not based on any inside information)�
Apr 2, 2013
Benz I think that today's (positive) announcement will somehow result into higher sales figures of the Tesla Model S.
- - - Updated - - -
Do you have a link to this page?�
Apr 2, 2013
jdevo2004 Looks like it is a leasing strategy. The Project 100 being part of the announcement as the first of the leases.�
Apr 2, 2013
Arnold Panz Wouldn't Costco and/or Wal-Mart want to be part of that announcement, or do you think they'd just let him make the announcement whenever he felt like it? It's for this reason that I don't think it has anything to do with "partnering" with any big company about anything -- given the context and quick movement of the announcement, it implies no coordination, and a joint announcement would require some level of coordination with the other party (especially a company as big as Costco or Wal-Mart, but this applies to almost anyone like a hotel chain or Starbucks etc.).�
Apr 2, 2013
deonb I think the intersection of the sets of people frequenting Walmart and sets of people driving Model S's would probably make that a less than stellar idea...�
Apr 2, 2013

AnOutsider A leasing announcement would fit, and boost sales, but would completely bore me. If it is, I think they could have made the announcement without the hype.�
Apr 2, 2013
Benz There must be some level of importance in this news. Otherwise Elon Musk would have mentioned it via Twitter.�
Apr 2, 2013
WarpedOne Yeah, leasing would be important and fits "put my money where my mouth is", but why do I have a feeling it would be at least partially a technical thing?�
Apr 2, 2013
sp4rk +1 ...�
Apr 2, 2013
Jcmason ADN_ModelS - I'm with you: it's most likely a partnership with either McD or (preferably, from a brand point of view) SBUX to expand the charging network quickly without needing to negotiate one site at a time. Superchargers on highways, regular HPWC's in town, captive audience for the restaurant partner and addressing the main concern holding back broader adoption of EV's (range). I'm guessing there was a whiteboard session right after the Broder saga, where Elon, George and team went through alternatives to win back the lost orders/market cap and address the range anxiety concern. I'm sure they would have identified the need to address this head on, ie both the charging infrastructure buildout and the perception issue. It may also include the improved charging speed that has been discussed previously. This would fit with an investment by Elon/Tesla (putting his money) where we all go to eat (where his mouth is), and the "Restaurant at the end of the Universe" would seem to further confirm that.�
Apr 2, 2013
Laumb All p85 owners will get stocks worth the equivalent of the Performance premium - and all 85 owners gets a free software update to make the car a performance version.
I really hope they don't make such a big deal from the leasing topic, as it isnt really the biggest news In the World. That should come as a regular press release.�
Apr 2, 2013
Krugerrand It wouldn't be boring to all those people who couldn't afford to layout the big bucks all at once. It wouldn't bore the bottom line for Tesla and thus for investors.�
Apr 2, 2013
Benz That's true.
Less than 3 hours to go.�
Apr 2, 2013
ModelS8794 If "money where my mouth is" is taken literally, I would guess it would be Elon capitalizing a new leasing company and using it to offer leasing terms at more competitive rates than he has been able to negotiate with traditional lessors thus far. Musk obviously does not have the capital to single-handedly provide a balance sheet for a full scale leasing program, but does have the capital required to provide the equity backing up a specialty finance company focused on Tesla leases. The question then becomes, who provides the debt capital, and on what terms? Elon would presumably be taking a more significant risk with the equity capital, but likely sees a Model S offering a residual value far in excess of what other lessors might be willing to use in their own calculations, and there lies his opportunity, and risk.
Here's what Musk said re: leasing on the last earnings call:
Leasing. So all of the sales and all of the things that I mentioned thus far are with 0 U.S. -- 0 North American leasing. So we don't even offer leasing in North America, that is something that we do want to offer maybe second half of the year but we want to make sure that the terms of the lease like interest rate and all that are compelling. Even if we did 0 leasing in North America, we could still sell all of our productions here. So leasing is entirely optional for us at this point and we only want to come out with the leasing product that's compelling. We don't want to come out with a kind of a lame leasing product, and we are talking with some of the major financial institutions in the world about doing leasing and those talks are progressing in a good direction, that in order for us to get the best rates for our customers -- I mean, we're not really interested in making much incremental money with leasing but we want to make sure we get a good deal for customers. It's important for the -- those big financial institutions to feel really comfortable with Tesla and that's why -- and one of the reasons that could be helpful for us to be profitable this quarter and possibly, quarters is to give greater confidence to the large banks in giving us -- for our customers a good leasing interest rate, and I guess that's usually comforting to the big financial companies. And I do see long term, not so much this year, I think this year leasing is going to comprise a small percentage of our volume. But I do think next year leasing will be a big factor. And within Europe, it'll be at least a moderate factor this year. We already have a significant leasing deal signed with Athlon, which is one of the major European leasing companies.�
Apr 2, 2013
riceuguy It just clicked for me. This will be related to chargers at a food/beverage chain of some sort. It just makes sense with the hints thus far!�
Apr 2, 2013
GeekGirls Simply "men and women" would suffice, given that there's also a Kate actively refreshing the thread...�
Apr 2, 2013
JakeP I thought for sure this was going to be the crux of the original September 2012 supercharger announcement, since it solves so many SC issues at once (leasing the land, parking access, what do do while charging, how to make money while people are charging, etc.). It would be nice to see it today, especially if it rapidly accelerates the rollout of SCs...and I mean ten or twenty new sites a month, with full coverage across the US by end of the year.�
Apr 2, 2013
AnOutsider Glad I said bore ME then.
Bored or not, the announcement of something we knew was coming but that got delayed is hardly worth the hype unless there's some sort of twist.�
Apr 2, 2013
ElSupreme I do work for a company that actually negotiates with restaurants and puts equipment in them. They have signed nationwide deals with some large chains. And even after 2 years a couple of those chain's stores are still without the machines. While a deal with Starbucks or MickyDs would be great, there is still a problem of actually getting the things installed.
from my WinPhone�
Apr 2, 2013
WarpedOne @ModelS8794:
Thanks for the spotlight, so it is not a leasing program.
Now what? I really can't confidently put my finger on anything suggested so far.
Tesla/Elon to repay DOE loan. -- nonsense, throwing away good money on nothing.
Tesla stock buy-back/Elon to take TSLA private. -- again, what is there to be gained with even more money right now? Tesla is well funded as it is.
Official announcement of Gen3/Bluestar. -- Only few weeks ago it was pushed back into 2017
Tesla to set up additional production in Europe. -- Possibly, but again why? Factory is huge investment, Model S is selling like hotcakes in Europe already. Why sped more money this way while only using 10% of Fremont capacity.
Tesla/Elon to set up financing/leasing program. -- Elon says financing is not a problem yet i.e. nothing to be gained.
Google/Apple to work with Tesla. -- work on what exactly?
Completion of 10,000th Model S. -- This is news? Really?
Expansion of the Supercharger network. -- Nothing new about it. Did they say the current SC is all they are building? The plan is a SC every ~120 miles.
Elon to literally "eat" his fortune. -- ...�
Apr 2, 2013
Jcmason Yep, exactly. I think this is the only one that really works. There are lots of other good ideas here, but they all have too many reasons why they don't fit with this announcement. For example, acceleration of GenIII just isn't going to happen. Leasing, while important at some point, would just accelerate demand, which isn't the main focus at the moment, since they're production constrained and also doesn't fit with Elon's categorization as potentially more important than the profitability announcement yesterday. Now, the question in my mind is - just how big of a positive would the expansion of the charging network be?�
Apr 2, 2013
Krugerrand Yes, I understood perfectly that 'YOU' would be bored. Just stating a fact in response that there are a lot of 'other' people who wouldn't be bored. That's called participating in a discussion and offering another POV. Do you require me to send you another hug?
As far as I can see, watching the share price of Tesla rise, the hype has totally been worth it to someone.�
Apr 2, 2013
ModelS8794 I dunno, I think leasing-related is the best guess, it's what I would bet on (given good enough odds!)�
Apr 2, 2013
AnOutsider Yeah driving up the stock price with a big announcement that turns out not to be so big is a good idea.
Boy. Wolf.�
Apr 2, 2013
Jcmason ElSupreme, good insight, and I agree that signing the agreement doesn't mean the equipment is going to be available immediately, but at least it's a start, and my understanding is that one of the main holdups with the current SC rollout is the real estate negotiation one site at a time.�
Apr 2, 2013
Krugerrand That's only if everyone else thinks like you, which they don't. :wink:�
Apr 2, 2013
WarpedOne Here is yet another idea (I don't know it it had been suggested yet):
Elon providing the capital to accelerate production beyond current 25k annual rate, maybe 1000/week in the second half of the year?�
Apr 2, 2013
michaelwb I wonder if it's going to be something along the lines of "Model S is the best-selling EV in the U.S. in the month of March." Nissan sold 2,236 LEAFs in March; at 500 per month, it's possible that Tesla beat that just by a few units.�
Apr 2, 2013
JakeP Yes, good point ElSupreme...but this type of agreement would certainly let them accelerate where they already want to locate SCs, if not necessarily at every franchise site. Personally I vote for Chipotle, they seem very green and I would rather eat there than McDs!�
Apr 2, 2013
ModelS8794 I think when we get the numbers in for March we will find that Model S is the best selling full-size luxury sedan in the US in March and for the entire first quarter. That would be something Elon would promote above and beyond any comparisons to LEAF or Volt or etc. which I don't believe he really thinks is the real competition.�
Apr 2, 2013
jvonbokel I agree with AO here. I understand it may be big news to many, and I like it as a TSLA investor, but since I already have an S, a leasing program is boring to me.�
Apr 2, 2013

yobigd20 wow, I had no idea than the Nissan Leaf was starting to be successful. I guess that huge price drop *really* helped. It's too bad that I can't even get from my house to work on a single full charge in a Nissan Leaf, let alone round trip. lol�
Apr 2, 2013
chicagotsla Maybe GenIII announcement? Supercharging partnership with Big Box/McD? Loan repaid?�
Apr 2, 2013
jvonbokel I think you'd be surprised. Ever heard of "The Millionaire Next Door"? The main premise is that the majority of high net-worth individuals are not actually exceedingly high-salary individuals, but rather average folks who live beneath their means. I think a good portion (~40%, I'd guess) of Model S owners that fit that description.
That said, I don't think today's announcement will involve Walmart, or any other retail/restaurant chain either.
P.S. I count myself among that "good portion" of Model S owners. My last car was a '97 S-10 pickup. Granted, I'd gotten some raises in the last few years, and had set my sights on a Mustang, but I still nearly doubled my budget to accommodate the Model S.�

Apr 2, 2013
SteveG3 At this point it seems leasing and/or a deal for restaurant/charging stations sounds most promising (thanks for those who explained the twitter clue).
I'm still going to mention what I'd love to see as Tesla putting money where mouth is: Announce due to strong demand, production targets up 5,000 this year and next. Earnings from this to fund the ongoing buildup of service centers, rather than needing money from service contract of Model S owners. As a result, Elon putting money where his mouth is by waiving service contracts. Press and analysts called in, announcement built up to, so Elon can publicly back past statements that a Tesla EV is far less costly to maintain than an ICE... we'll foot the bill the first 8 years.
wouldn't it be awesome if it was $0 maintenance first 8 years, AND free supercharging. I ran numbers in my head, I see increased sales of 5M/year easily paying for this (given prices costs and prices could be adjusted in 5 years or so when newer battery tech goes into S/X).�

DriverOne Totally agree. Having the SCs inter-city alone is not much help - you need them at your destination too. Lets say I drive to the beach (200+ miles away) and stay for a week. The SC half-way there will get me to the beach, but I also need a top-up during the week's stay. SCs are needed at destinations, too. Looking forward to this reality!�

nsmyth The website was taken down over an hour and a half ago with a splash page saying tesla motors will return shortly... I am thinking its related to the announcement. a new website launch at same time, this may be bigger than most thought.�

Silenus136 Glad I am not the type to say "I told you so," but it is leasing at $500/mo. Man, I really wish I had waited and not bought! Expensive error...�
