I know it's not the end of the world and I know it's a truck........ but would anyone complain about this gap difference? It's the "A" Frame piece that flows over the back windows to the front fenders. Also I'm seeing a bunch of those well documented rust spots from shipping, I saw a couple of videos that when the dealer preps the car they used an abrasive that put swirls on the top of the Frunk, is anyone telling them not to clean the car in prep? Thanks for any thoughts. Truck arrived at the dealer put not ready to pick up in the app yet.

Interesting that it charged for some portion of that at near 500kw speed. Some had reported it only got 350
If i understand correctly, he said that it charged at 500 only for about 6% of the curve and that by 10% where he started his test it was already down to 400. In fact, you can see at the beginning of the test it was drawing 395 which it maintaned for a brief period and then doglegged down to 161 at the end of the test.

Perhaps disaapointing to some but it scored 2nd for trucks in his test.

WHat does a better gap at that joint look like?

I had a 26 beast over night demo. I can't believe how cheap the steering wheel feels. It needs a leather wrap ASAP.

I was always resistant to mods and in the long run have been pleased with that choice but im going to have to add the steering wheel mod to mats/armrest/dash mat.

Total mods: $250

I'll take it if you don't!

Did any solders in WWII care about the panel gaps in our Sherman tanks? :)

That is not rust. It is rail dust. It is a surface contaminant that is common on all unwrapped vehicles, but more visible on the stainless steel. Your truck is not rusting. It has oxidized dust on it. Similar to pollen season. When it has pollen dust on it, it has not been painted yellow.

I watched the video today and I was pleasantly surprised the SAWD did so well. Something like 112 miles on a fifteen minute charge from 10% I believe.

It’s assumed this is a new cell for Tesla. If that’s true, they are probably sandbagging the curve early, while they let us test their new batteries. Under warranty of course. If they hold up, Tesla will improve the curve, as they have in the past. The fact it touched the 500 range at all shows the hardware is there. IMOP
