I'm not sure how you would know that's what was being tested, but okay. How far did it get?

The "battery testing" claim was made by the YouTuber, and I am skeptical. It might have even been a tongue-in-cheek quip, given that the CT was just doing loops around the track. (He even adds "I believe it will still be here 2 days later.")

I was wondering if they were doing a specific circuit that matches testing... which is done on a fixture... Would explain why they stopped randomly for what seemed like a set amount of time.

OR

They were testing different drive modes to see how the CT managed... say Chill vs. Sport or maybe even different suspension heights or stiffnesses.

Sorry, I didn't discriminate between who posted the video and you posting the link to the video here.

2 days = 48 hrs.
48 hrs x 60 mph = 2880 miles
It's simple arithmetic people. We're getting a 2880-mile CT for no more than $69,900!
For the record, I'd be okay with a 2880 miles range.

That would be just over double my previous longest-range truck. (97' F250 Powerstroke with 2x14 gallon stock tanks and a 3rd 42 gallon tank in the bed). I could change to any of the tanks on the fly with the flick of a switch from the cab and it was awesome.

Anyone else fascinated by Tesla's garbage pile?
Look at all those wheels...

OR

The drone pilot was filming in coordination with the Tesla team and that's the information they gave the pilot.

Sure it was… that is until all read E and you are staring at the pump not even halfway full and your on your phone filling out loan application ?

With all the sightings of them pouring out of the factory, I'm hopeful that September will be a deluge of all the final validation & tests, and that the delivery event happens towards the end of the month. Hopefully we'll get EPA ranges in the next week or so
