I'm about 450,000 & 900,000 in line. I'll probably buy a R2 before the CT is offered. No loss.

Shody construction for $80k, think they rushed production? Hope they tighten quality a bit

Practically, belavoid depleting Practical battery use: don't deplete below 10%, usually don't have patience to supercharge above 85%. Practical range: distance to the next supercharger.

Towing will halve range

There is no line, rather an order number. Tesla will sell to who they want. Do they want cash or want to build an in-house finance company? Always their choice. Our $100 is Tesla's money now. Try to get a refund.

What about rental/leasing?

F around and find out. Tesla has refused software updates to some (secondhand) owners. CT will require constant software updates because that what Tesla does. DON'T BUY A TESLA WITHOUT OTAU ABILITY, might as well own an ICE.

My price expectation is not more than 20% over the original offer.

You'd probably survive the cliff Thang

First recall 2025

When I owned a ranch, I was guilty of not donning seat beltz, too, while driving on the range. Never rolled any trucks on the ranch, though. Any links to Rivian crash tests videos? I love the Tesla crash test videos, especially the 10T "terminator" press on the M3 roof!

My $50k CT will probably be delivered sub$70k. I'll immediately put it on the market at $105k. All this overpriced aftermarket junk can be added for under $1k, not as slick, but it will allow glamping.

Probably take longer to update software so vehicle can identify battery, like an organ transplant.

I get it, Dave. How many life changes must we endure before CT delivery? Since depositing for CT, I've retired and have no paycheck. We're seeing opportunities for foreign travel, living in other countries for up to a year. Don't need a CT living in Australia &SE Asia, right?
