Almost makes me think they are casting the sides of the passenger cage on the Gigapress.

PS: That’s not a Cybertruck passenger cage.
Monroe Twitter vid suggests they don’t think the pics are of castings?

But if your worry ends up right, that bigger Giga in Texas has some interesting new asterisks next to it for time being.

We corral ourselves down little mental canyons only to realize when we get to the end it’s a wide open field and we just have blinders on.

Probably not a casting. Just me projecting. We’ll find out soon enough.

Interesting times for sure.

I think something significant we will see at this event, is the next platform. It will be smaller than the 3, and built from a single casting. It will be low-cost, high-volume. Thus, the thousands of vehicle bodies in the event logo.

I don't think we'll see a new vehicle.

I think we'll see the refinement of the Model Y and then maybe project highland.

Maybe not the actual new vehicle, but I thought Elon said they would talk about the new vehicle platform? Or did we all just turn speculation into fact haha. Hard to keep track sometimes. 🙃

... Or it could be the same old stamped panels in the same rack they've always been in with all the other stamped panels...
Haha.

Elon: "yeah that image looks cool, lets use that on the invite background"

Part Deux:
Create stunning solar roofs with seamlessly integrated battery storage
Expand the electric vehicle product line to address all major segments
Develop a self-driving capability that is 10X safer than manual via massive fleet learning
Enable your car to make money for you when you aren't using it

If Elon is ready to start focusing past these goals it would seem to insinuate that they are getting ready to start putting some robotaxis on the road this year. That is pretty exciting for me.

The frame in the invite picture could be the robotaxi!

Maybe, he said, if they have the battery supply. Gen 3 is Model 3/Y and they have yet to implement all the tech they planned in the beginning. Even most Model Ys coming from Austin don't have 4680 packs yet.

They're Model Y frames in the holding rack.

Probably. I thought they looked a bit different myself, but honestly don’t care enough to double-check. People over-analyze this pre-event stuff and are almost always wrong. (Not pointing fingers at anyone in particular here, just in general)

If it is the Gen 3 vehicle it’s not telling us anything new because we know this meeting is about Gen 3.

I checked my email...no invitation to the event 😭
Is it just a matter of getting lucky as well as living close?

Do they invite Tesla owners, investors, random pick, any idea?

Its an investor event. Literally in the name ;)

Register your shares on Tesla’s site and there is a lottery for each event.

Could be why the windows were blocked at the Austin casting end. Perhaps they don't wish to show what shape castings are laying about.
