After all the videos and leaks from the past week I am trying to get a summary of features and functions and group them into “likely, unlikely, and unknown” based on the hints we have.

Obviously this is all speculation and nothing is final until it ships.

***italicized items added based on comments

Likely

• Powered and sealed tonneau cover
• 120v outlet at bed (based on the size of the door cutout)
• Frunk (with good/low accessibility)
• Ventilated seats
• 4 wheel steering
• Sub trunk in bed
• Powered tailgate Auto drop/dampened tailgate
• Push button doors handles
• Tie down points and e-track L-track rails
• HW4 w/ bumper cam
• Yoke steering wheel
• BAW
• NACS charge port w/ cool CT logo and sealed access door
• Steer by wire
• Oh shucks grab handles
• Adaptive air suspension
• Armored glass on side windows

Unlikely

• Folding Midgate
• Driver display
• 6 seat option
• Spare tire location

Unknown

• Midgate window operation
• Power outlets in frunk
• 240V outlet
• Air compressor outlet
• Side sail storage
• Tailgate ramp
• Powered frunk
• Armored glass on windshield
• Rear seat features (folding, storage, etc)
• Rear seat display/controls
• High def radar
• Light bars in the bed
• Light bar at the top of windshield
• Powered tailgate closing (updated from comments)
• W/L/H in units of chickens

I did this from memory so chime in if I got it wrong or missed a feature!

I do believe 240 volts is confirmed, as well as air compressor

The Frunk is likely the designated space for the spare , I don't see any way that tesla does not have a space reserved for a full size spare unless they have airless tires on the CT

no way (even only) a donut is fitting in the Frunk. And if it could, there’d be no Frunk left because of it - it would just be a spare tire compartment with a sprinkle of glovebox

What is a 'BAW'?

I'm expecting it isn't a BAW brand truck included so you can truck while you truck in your truck.

And I wonder how would CT do in a crash test with a flying donut. Engines used to be pushed under some cars like Volvo. With battery pack and electric motor down low, I would be curious where the tire would go.

No

 

[WHIZZARD OF OZ]

The quad-motor design lets the front wheels turn in opposite directions, enabling the "tank turn" of dubious practicality. The tri-motor has always seemed like the best balance between power, efficiency, and complexity.

I want 'complexity'
Give me that Bloody QUAD, already!

So it is 5 seater, not 6. Still cool

 

[cvalue13]

yeah, the dude that put these figures together did not have a good understanding of the facts at hand

he gathered some interesting gossip from Tesla employees, and then rather than scrutinize that gossip against available facts, ran with it

If someone did their own scrutiny against that gossip, there was some interesting nuggets.

But his dimensions conclusions in that chart, in particular, are even internally inconsistent.

Excellent summary!

For the "unknowns", I would add:

• Cost
• Start of delivery

start of delivery we know. next couple of months. price we don't know. estimate (optimistically) 10k more than original price.
