Elon Musk pushes back product announcement, says it needs more refinement
An "unexpected" Tesla "product unveiling," announced by the company CEO Elon Musk earlier this month, has been unexpectedly moved to Wednesday, Musk has tweeted.
Musk, who sometimes elaborates on his tweets further in the tweet replies, stayed silent this time, though he did later retweet the company's announcement that Panasonic and Tesla are planning to collaborate on photovoltaic cell and module production in Buffalo, New York.
This particular product launch has been shrouded in mystery from the get go. Musk never gave any indication of what we might expect, and guesswork from Tesla fans and the media included a lot of things, from a new Tesla model, to more Model 3 news, to a crazy new robotic charger.

While you might chalk up Oct. 19 as the next Tesla day, let us remind you that the company, together with SolarCity, already has an event scheduled for Oct. 28. There, the two companies (which are now really one company) will announce a solar roof with integrated Powerwall 2.0 battery and a Tesla charger.
This is an important event for Tesla; Musk himself marked it as the first big milestone in his "master plan." In the blog post announcing the master plan in July, Musk said the solar roof/battery/charger combo is going to be a product "that just works."
