> features such as automatic emergency breaking
Always an amusing typo. I'll take the car without emergency breaking...

#22Tesla may also want to consider better copyediting of press releases: "emergency breaking." Yeah, it happens. But it looks bad.

#23Was there an event or video? Seems strange that Elon delayed this announcement from Monday if it's just a blog post (press release).

#24So self-driving will be a standard feature of Model 3, not an option? Pretty cool if they can make it work. I'm skeptical that the computer (NVIDIA Drive PX 2 perhaps?) will have enough power to do it all without LIDAR.
Self-driving hardware will be standard on Model 3, but you'll likely still have to pay a premium for the software to activate it. This is akin to Tesla including the 75 kWh battery on the 60 kWh Model S, and then charging you extra to "activate" the battery's full capacity.

#25This is awesome! Talk about a huge training data competitive advantage over Google, GM, Uber, etc

he delays announcement, just to do the write up right.

#27It was already announced before, that the hardware is included. And it was clear, that it is meant to be used for autonomous driving. And as they do not have autonomous driving yet, this is indeed just hot air... How would they know it is completed if there is no demonstration of it actually working?
Looking at what is not said, my interpretation is that previous Teslas will not be software-upgraded to full autonomy because the problem is harder than they previously thought.

The hardware will be standard, but almost certainly you'll pay extra to enable it. (If they do it the same as similar features in the past, there will be a discount to enable it at order, or you can do it later at a slight premium.)

#29*braking (not breaking). You'd think car company staff would know how to spell a word representing 1/2 of the control space of a car. edit: fixed, never mind.
It was probably just a typo that the couple of people who wrote and edited the announcement didn't catch. I am doubtful of the correlation you are implying between their spelling of braking and their braking system.

#30How interesting. So up-coming Tesla drivers temporarily won't get fancy features. For a time, new Tesla buyers again become early adopters. But unlike traditional early adopters, who take a trade-off (on price, or features, or polish) for being first, these adopters are promised the features when they are ready. The nay-saying around Tesla is immense, even in these early HN comments. Obviously there's some risk here,…
I think it's great that they're taking the big risks needed to move the industry forward, and not letting the lawyers run the company.
But some of the risks they're taking are just completely stupid and unnecessary, such as calling their assisted cruise control "Autopilot." That's like waving the proverbial cape at the proverbial bull.
