I am looking at bed covers for my current NART (not a real truck), the Honda Ridgeline, and absolutely none of the bed covers claim to be water proof. All I have seen can let trickles of water in under certain conditions. I never expected the CT cover to be 100% water proof. I have not seen...

Honda Ridgeline is 65% US built. And technically a class 2 truck with a gvwr of 6019lbs.

What kind of spare do you get with the Ford? Steel wheel/cheap tire? Certainly not the same as the stock or upgraded wheels. The Tesla is the same wheel and tire combo. Minimum of $450 for the tire and at least the same for the rim. So not so bad but I get your point. Who really cares what...

The install alone will likely be $400 ish. Thats about 2hrs of labor. Removal will be the same.

The under bed gear locker would hold about 5 kWh (if that) of batteries and be more exposed in a rear end accident.

I am sure renting a truck would be cheaper than any rental and install/removal fees for the range extender. It will be interested for sure to see if the range extender actually comes into existence or if it's just to appease the range anxiety club. If it's optional, who wants to always carry...

Probably just the bed divider. I see something like that being useful even without the Molle stuff.

I am in at 1129xxxxx and would probably go ahead and get the AWD. I had the Tri on the reservation but that is a bit too much at this point. Unless we find out that the AWD is missing some of the important stuff. I am hoping to hear some reviews from people after a month or two of ownership...

Does anyone have any specs on the weight of the battery extender? I've seen comments as low as 140kg (308 lbs) and don't see how that is possible. 40kWh or so will have to weigh a lot more than that. Powerwalls are around 250lbs per 13kkWh.

I think our Model S came with 8 year unlimited milage on the battery which has 1 year left. So far so good. Minimal degradation. Almost 100K miles. 259 miles stated originally (actual was around 235), and now it's about 225 actual.

30-40 kWh battery is going to weigh at least 500 lbs, probably more.

That's what I am thinking but most are still stuck on rwd = one motor, awd = two motor and beast = tri-motor.

Isn't the AWD version still a tri-motor? Beast mode is just an higher output motor. I read somewhere that all versions had two motors for the rear.

Steer by wire confirmed!
