  1. Dual Motor CT will be $75K. Change my mind.

    Does Tesla have a history of price bumps higher than 10%? I honestly don't know. But I think psychologically they may prefer to do 9% twice a year.

  2. Tesla Supercharger US Membership Pricing for Non-Tesla EV Owners Announced at $0.99/month

    Wow!

  3. Unless a new class of buyer joins, there will not be many takers at $85k+ for a pickup

    I would like to know where that demand cliff is because I am willing to pay just a little bit more to get my CT earlier.

  4. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    Here is another YouTube predicting 320 Wh/mile.

  5. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    Yes. Leave the house at 95% SOC, drive 500 miles, charge 40 minutes then drive 400 more miles. 900 miles in a day on one 40 minute mid day recharge.

  6. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    Based on this chart & using a V3 250 KW charger, a 200KWH CT could charge from 10% - 80% in about 40 minutes. That is 140 KWH and about 400 miles of range.

  7. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    Ubiquitous early reports (Jan 2020?) listed 3 CT battery sizes: 100, 120 & 200 KwH. I was just multiplying by 200.

  8. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    I was going by this one:

  9. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    Curious as to what conclusion you would like us to draw. Cybertruck is quite different from the F 150. I saw another video that explained why no tailgate was less efficient than tailgate up (makes the entire back of the cab a high drag area) But I have not seen WHY netting improves efficiency or...

  10. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    Good idea! I am interested in this one. Maybe a dozen pics. Source is just some rendering house.

  11. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    Because so much of the aerodynamic drags is in the area of separated airflow behind the vehicle a well designed foldout 'whale tail' could both lower the height of the separation from 57" to 41" and narrow it from 80" to 60" This would reduce the separated area from 4500" sq to about 2500" sq...

  12. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    I have a Model Y. It's rated at 248 Wh/mi. Get's that in perfect conditions at 63 mph. We average about 280 Wh/mi @ 65 mph & 330 Wh/mi @ 75 mph. Your Leaf @ 3.8 mi/Kwh = 263. Wh/mi

  13. Cube topper vs aero topper vs topperless. (200 KWH battery)

    Guesstimating CT Wh/mile @ 70 MPH Cube topper 420 Wh/mi, range 475 miles Aero topper 360 Wh/mi, range 555 miles (best value?) Topperless 350 Wh/mi, range 570 miles Thoughts? Quantified guesstimates?

    I just came across this lovely rendering of a prospective Tesla Cybervan. It was posted on Twitter by "Cybervan". It's a damn good image. I hope the real thing is similar and soon.
