Little trivia about these testing vehicles.

Singular: Tester
Plural: Testes
Similarly, those various testing wires all over the truck plug into something usually called a “receptacle” - but on “test” units like these those test receptacles are referred to instead as ….

Little Elmo was not good at tickling so he filmed himself doing tickling tests to see if he could get better. He kept those private for a long time but last week, he got into a bit of trouble when he showed a group of Sesame Street kids his test tickles.

Is every vehicle in this photo a Tesla? Makes me think this was on some Tesla grounds somewhere.

Any idea where this CT was being tested? It looks like it was off-road by the dust. You can bet they will be doing some cold weather testing this winter, maybe the Alaska test range people were talking about earlier?

We are getting closer.
Agreed- where are the drone flyovers? The community is failing ?

yea, but look at that big ass wiper
Is that a "big-ass wiper"? Or a "big ass-wiper"?

I was originally (back when BAW first came on the scene) reading it as "big <exclamatory emphasis> wiper". But somehow today I am reading it as either:
  1. a wiper for large asses
  2. a large wiper for asses

Is that what the 2 white things are on the hood? If we find a suitable mate, can they make more CT's for us?

Y’all are speculating fools. The facts are they did a roll over test on dirt to show the windshield also functions as a roll bar. And the hood lasers are actually aimed backwards and are the production version of the windshield bug zappers.

I'm hoping the mirrors don't too negatively effect the drag coefficient. I was watching a program on the new Aptera saying that its entire drag coefficient was equivalent to both of an F150's mirrors alone.

Elon promised that outside side mirrors will be removable by vehicle owner.

He did not say if it would be tool-less or how easy but I suspect it will be easy.

Okay guys, not to go all Inspector Gadget on you, but I think I have found the exact location of the truck in this picture. Just photoshopping it a bit now.
