Winter in FL... ???

I dreamt the price dropped from $113k back down to the reservation price of $69,900 *and* has a 500 mile range...

I reserved the tri-motor! I felt three motors would be beneficial towing up mountains and through iffy road conditions in the National Forests.

Being disappointed is not the same as wanting to cancel. Difficult to know when my reservation will be called, I’m guessing 2 or 3 years so things certainly can change.

Criminal was for emphasis and not legalese… To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. Towing capacity and range shortage is more important with FSD where theoretically I could drive further on a charge with less stops using FSD. The other bit is charging with a trailer at the locations I...

I don’t really need the bed space, I was planning on building custom water tank to use to haul water to Taj-Ma-Haul once I dropped her off at the camp site. A “last mile” water delivery so as not to tow the extra 150 gallons of water weight. I hate paying more for what I was expecting, but I...

Being a Michigander and watching the uaw destroy the state, I won’t buy a vehicle built by them. this is the vehicle for me, I just hope things improve before my reservation is called.

Until Tesla delivers my CT with the 500-mile range I reserved for, I feel completely swindled. I understand the reason for shorting the range to produce more trucks to shore up the balance sheet, but I don’t accept it. I’ll be towing 80% of the time and losing 190 miles or 38% of the range I...

I got it, just took a minute. I’ve been living in Taj-Ma-Haull completely off grid for 2 years this October, but definitely learning on a daily basis. My first degree was architecture, I don’t have any prior experience with electricity or solar, but I am eagerly learning all I can. Thanks for...

Mountains ?️ each 540w panel weighs just over 80lbs, add hydraulic struts, aluminum frame support inserts and hinge hardware. I’m roughly guessing 100lbs per panel times 10 panels for additional 1,000lbs. I currently have the driver awning as 5 panels and the passenger awning with 5, there are...

How the Sam Hill do I do that? ? ? I guess to the electrical panel through a 240v 60amp breaker wired up to the 48amp Tesla Wall Charger. I guess I had to say that out loud ? So just charge it 24x7 and cut the charge off if the battery hits 10kWatts!

Continental US, atm AZ to MT to MI and back, National Monuments, Forests and family! the company I work for is closing all offices and we’ll be 100% remote! So I’m taking advantage of this!

That’s a good point, in the summer I consume around 7kWatt/hours/day

BTW, I do have a design to add 10 more panels, but I have these considerations to weigh through: Will the width of the trailer exceed the Width limit for roadways? How often could I deploy both awnings? That’s 16’ on both sides! If I could only deploy 1/2 of the panels per side (), they would...
