I haven't seen a mention of how far (or if) the front seats recline. If they do approach flat then there is at least a possibility of sleeping with heat or cool. How about the back seat? Could you put a mat over them and sleep? I know you could lift the rear seats and sleep on the floor. Thanx...

Don't forget tongue weight. Perhaps that comes under cargo bed weight limit? Yikes! Let's hope we get more info on this soon. Some folks might be scrambling for their particular use case.

As the 4680 ramp and road map continue, there will be more energy per cell. I believe to 500+ mile range was based upon 4680 meeting full long tern specifications. This may have the effect of offering two battery sizes, one to keep the range now available, the longer range variant getting closer...

With any luck, Tesla has thought this through to a complete solution. My thought is to have countersunk the three holes from the outside so that custom flat head screws made from stainless with NO "screw method (ie philips, slotted, torx, whatever)" just a flat brushed surface to match the...

I don't think the Foundation Series is $20k more because you are forgetting it comes with FSD (worth somewhere between 7 to 12k, depending on FSD price at the time of reservation) plus you get the equipment to connect with your house (no idea of how much this will cost, but Ford costs to do the...

Oops of my own. 520 was a typo. Should have been 420 (60x7). So all other calls off by the same percentage. So roughly best guess 5k to 10k a month, and ramping (no guesses on this from me).

I think you math is somewhat suspect. You are using 60 stations per hour, so an average of 1 minute to complete a single station. It doesn't matter for run rate of the line how many stations there are. For any particular vehicle it would take the number of stations = minutes. So in your example...

I am hoping that Elon/Tesla come up with a plan for the tri-motor that allows the purchase and receipt of the 500 mile range version, but ships with a 350 mile range pack (this assumes that the 500 (or 600?) mile version of the 4680 cells range has not yet reached production volume). So those...

Not writing to spoil the overall effort, but this and another joke I heard recently have Teslas "Revving". Any revving will be accompanied with the launch. Sorry.

Form is supposed to follow function. The overall look of the CT screams function. Aerodynamics! If the frunk is a bit smaller, I believe it is because of the hue and cry of "It won't fit in my garage". So they shortened it a bit. Would you honestly trade range for a bigger frunk? If so, there...

I'm assuming you don't have a dirt bike or other off-road variant that will fit in the bed. For many this is at least 1x per week.

Is it my imagination, or is there a gap around the bed that looks square and is located between the cab and the frunk? 🙏🤞Really want to see a full size spare location somewhere! Paul

From "The Idiots Guide To Perpetual Motion" Simply plug your 240V charging adapter into the CT charge port. You will never have to charge your truck again. Genius! 😂

Steer by wire in the future will resolve this issue for all models. Don't hold your breath, but it is coming.

For all those who both expect higher prices and complain, who also bought Tesla stock to hopefully defray some of the cost; sell the absolute MINIMUM amount of shares required to make your monthly payment. If you think that your CT might cost $100K after spec'ing all the goodies you want plus...
