Ditto.
I'm in Canada so I'm incredibly curious how much they are going to charge us for foundation series. I'm expecting it to cost about 140k CDN$ for a Dual motor. I'm not paying that much but I'm very curious so signed up anyway.
Does anyone know how much time it took Tesla to rollout Autopilot/FSD to new vehicles launched? Chris from Dirty Tesla mentioned in a recent video that it is "normal" for new Tesla vehicles not to have Autopilot/FSD and after a couple months, they get it.
After a couple searches, I come up...
Rivian is a cool company and they have really cool quality products.
For my usecase, the CT is perfect but we have a model 3 as a second vehicle. If Rivian is still alive in 3-4 years and they are cash flow positive, I might consider the R3x as a second vehicle. That tri-motor little thing...
You can also look at the bright side, if you were in Canada like me, you wouldn't even have been able to order one. We'll be lucky if we get anything by the end of 2024.
On a positive note, the truck made an appearance at our local delivery center in Quebec city. In person it's such a great...
Have you guys measured the distance between the jack points, front to back? I'm evaluating lift choices and that info would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your work on CT, you give lots of great information in your CT "dissection" videos.
Fun thread seeing other members opinions!
For me it's mainly:
Tesla software: I've owned a Model 3 for a few years now and when I hop into our 2019 Rav4 it's like going back decades in software refinement. I'm a tech aficionado so I value good software. Also, I've seen how traditional OEMS...
I've run Nokians on my vehicles for a while now and love their snow tires. I'd very much like to get a set for my CT when it gets here in Canada.
Would it be OK to run 275-65-R20 snow tires instead of the OEM size 285-65-R20...
Yea not bad for steel wheels but I'd still prefer the look of the OEM wheel without cover. For my winter wheels, I'll go with some other alloy wheels. For my Model 3, I've been really satisfied with my RTX spider gunmetal. They change the car's look completely.
They look badass and didn't cost...
Honestly, if you need to tow any significant weight, the GM trucks seem to be better options (Silverado EV, Sierra EV). You'd lose out on some great features IMO but you'll gain quite a bit of towing range. See silverado EV videos.
For me, towing is not in the plans so I'd rather get a CT...
Yep. 9,169 lbs GVWR with AT tires for both trims according to EPA filings (see links above) and also according to the CT owner's manual (see this post):
Edit: added link to owner's manual post
The weights listed on tesla's website are:
Dual motor: 6,603 pounds (2,995 kg)
Cyberbeast: 6,843 pounds (3,104 kg)
These are curb weights, not GVWR.
The luxury tax rule uses GVWR (Gross vehicle weight rating) to determine if the exemption applies (not curb weight).
According to these EPA...
I have not seen this discussed here and found out about this today.
Canada's luxury tax does not apply to vehicles with GVWR above 8,500 pounds (3,856 kg)...
