Elon Musk has just let a bit of news slip via his Twitter account: Tesla will be unveiling a new product line on April 30 at Hawthrone Design Studio at 8pm. What could it be? Musk doesn’t offer any hints other than the fact that it won’t be a car, but it’s very likely that it could be the new stationary battery pack designed for the home that we told you about last month.

Tesla execs last month confirmed during the company’s earnings call that the product would begin going into production within the next 6 months:

Yes, we’re going to do — we’re going to unveil some of the Tesla home battery consumer battery that will be for you using and people’s houses or businesses, fairly soon. We have to design and it should start going into production probably about six months or so. We’ll probably got to wait to have sort of product availing it’s probably in the next month or two. It’s really great. I’m really excited about it.

We’ll have to wait until the end of next month for the official reveal.
