From my perspective with this kind of range I would never hesitate towing anything for the few times a year that I do. For the normal day use a larger battery means fewer cycle times. Fewer cycle times means longer lasting. right?

Are you able to pick up a vehicle from the factory? I would love to see the factory and road trip my new truck home.

As much as I would love to pay less, the EV incentive is designed to help the company enter the market and also produce a catalyst for demand. Tesla has become well established as well as demand for CT is strong. I think it's more fiscally responsible to give those credits to other brands...

Cost for solar panels option? I'm hoping for only 2-3K

I don't think I'll need that 6th seat all the time but the few times I will need it it will be very nice. The rest of the time I plan to have it folded down and use the built in console. Having the 6th seat as an option is huge to me.

I don’t live in Kansas but I am a K-State grad. Willie will be on board somewhere when I get my CT

Many people got excited and put down the low $100 for a reservation (me included). It seems that even Elon was surprised at the number of reservations. Now that it is established that people want it, should Tesla increase the dollar amount to see how serious people are as well as raise capitol...

Looking forward to all the lockable storage, a truck I use and not worry about scratches and dents, and one of the most high-tech and engineering marvels on the road!

I live in a northern mountain climate. Anyone have ideas about corrosion issues with deicing chemicals? I know there are a lot more options used now other than NaCl.
