Yes, the BT logo on the battery of the DTSC 400 shows at 0:21.

when it comes to when tools will arrive to either NA or elsewhere I know that everyone loves to speculate and interpret but I would offer a caution that the document posted was not a public announcement and obviously changes can be made to whether or not to bring, timeframe if, etc.

  Absolutely correct, Pete. As of now, Festool USA has made no announcement - or even hinting,  about what tools and accessories will become available here in 2019. All I do know for sure is that it will be a looooooooooong time before we get all the tools at the same time they are available in Europe.

Here’s what I don’t get - why can’t they announce 2019 releases in both US and European markets at the same time?  Couldn’t possibly be that difficult. 
 
I can't believe they put a lid on top of the Midi AND made the knob to secure systainers an integral part of that. I use the top of my Minis constantly to store stuff when I'm working, and also very often change between the 27 and 36 mm hoses, and now I have to open and close a lid every time? Bonkers.

I'm not ever buying this version, that's for sure. Pretty sure my current Mini will last me another 10 years until Festool has figured out a lid in that place is not very productive. 
 
Different opinions Alex. I MUCH prefer the new design. Keeps the hose in and gives me a flat surface to put things on.

Would be a nice feature should T-loc systainers stick to the lid so it could be opened without having to take off what's ontop (like opening a T-loc in the middle of a stack), from watching the video it looks though that this isn't the case (as the back systainer feet seems to latch into the non-lid part of the top).
 
What is weird is that I found a wireless device authorization record for Kapex 120 REB on the Korean FCC site:
https://fccid.io/RR-FeS-KS120REB

This could indicate that the REB model might be battery powered with BT vacuum switching?

Don't think so.
The battery powered machines like saws and others have the capital C in the name: HKC, TSC, PSC, RTSC, DTSC, ETSC, BHC, PDC, DRC, DWC and ISC. And the new 2019 models: DSC-AGC, AGC and OSC.
A battery powered Kapex should then be called KSC and that's not the case, but it's called KS 120 REB and KS 88 RE.
 
Reiska: The new Kapex KS 120 has only side supports and angular units like the KS60. Nothing more

The same page also says "Dual line laser beams clearly mark the exact width of the cut for positioning the work piece from the left or right."

Maybe someome should hint our friendly tool suppliers kiwi headquarter to remove the contradicting information from the technical data listing.
 
Hmmm, the two I was most interested in getting a peak at aren't there. . Grinder and Impact Driver.
