Tesla set to unveil an ‘unexpected’ product next week

Apparently the October 28 event for the Tesla and SolarCity collaboration isn’t the only big thing the company is announcing this month. Tesla founder Elon Musk recently tweeted that there is an “unexpected” product launch set for October 17. Recode is speculating the launch might revolve around new versions of Tesla’s at-home energy storage devices: the Powerwall and the Powerpack. It could also be Autopilot 2.0, a hardware upgrade that will bring in additional cameras and radars around the car to help the system better recognize objects.
