there will be a funky looking prototype vehicle that they claim will take people wherever they want to go, whenever they want, starting at some promised time in the future (date to be ignored). there will be blathering about AI.

it will all sound good, but doesn't matter because it won't be available for years.

fans will swoon and critics will rip elon musk.

If it boosts the stock, that's good enough for me

What I most care about as a Tesla owner is the new Model Y coming out hopefully next year, that's what I'm excited about

i believe the stock will go down or not move because of this event. i doubt anyone's expecting much.

it would go up if they're showing a concrete plan for deployment starting VERY soon, and some regulatory approval.

well that's a very modest hope. elon musk has way bigger plans.

Which one are you?

I'm in the camp of no idea what to expect but expectations are so high that almost anything will be a letdown.

......and fix your nested quotes! Geeze.

So far stock has been pretty stable after hours. And as usual, Elon is late
