today was a mix of fun and disappointment. I had hoped for a big event with new features and cool accessories. I had hoped for news on the Cyberquad. The Range Extender is weird. I don't think they will sell very many.
I am probably 2-3 years away from delivery anyway, so I'm sure a lot...
The 340 mile range is pretty much what I expected. I might be able to make it work but that price...
I am skeptical about the "toughness". I will believe it after Whistlin Diesel has tested it.
Let's see how it compares to this: Hilux Durability Test
There will be a huge gap between market demand and supply for some time. Scalpers will seek to balance that gap. Tesla is likely trying to manage the problem.
$8k to $12k for a wrap you could DIY at 1/20th the price? no thanks. The diminishing list of features is also disappointing. I'll wait for final details to decide, but am considering a cancellation.
no ramp is disappointing. unibody and not bulletproof... probably won't float either. Most of the big wish list items are gone. At this point the number of unique features seems pretty limited.
The CT has a very sleek/minimalist style that does not go well with racks and addons, IMO. It will take some artistic skill to design addons that look good.
For example, these roof racks with Starlink look very stupid.
