I agree, different market. But the RST does show how many features are missing from CT. Tesla minimalism if also "cheapism". Look at the work that Chevy put into the tailgate alone. The original reason Musk claimed for CT was to attract the huge number of traditional truck buyers to EV. Like...

There's no reason CT won't be as reliable as any other vehicle once the initial issues are worked through. The Model Y was reliable after less than a year of production. Even today many early owners have vehicles that will be completely reliable. With any new model from any manufacturer I would...

How's the humanity saving going?

I wonder how Earthman is doing with his Cybertruck fleet?

The vehicle is priced correctly for its size and battery pack. The price isn't changing. Features were removed to allow Tesla a path to building the vehicle profitably.

What they mean is that the model will be delivered in volume in 2024. They don't mean that a new reservation will be delivered in 2024. They have no idea how the huge reservation queue will translate into actual orders

Tesla will sell all they can make in 2024 and 2025. Tesla can't make a big vehicle with a big battery for $40K, as many people here have pointed out for years.

Yes, but Tesla will eventually make a few. Just like the $35K model 3.

The realists here nailed the price estimate. There is no reason Tesla should or could sell CT for less

Cory sure got the offroad capabilities wrong

Tesla production plan is certainly to make more than 1000 vehicles this year. But they are leaving themselves the time to recover from significant mistakes without publically missing their target. The model Y was the shift at Tesla to underpromise and overdeliver when it comes to public...

I use a higher charge setting when the weather forecast is bad. Wide spread wether outages don't happen without warning. Local outages always have crews available for a reasonably quick fix. I typically wait a couple of hours before getting out the portable generator. But I would like to plug...

A 240V inverter is important, bidirectional is not. It seems to me that the former is highly likely and the later isn't going to happen. Many reasons to not do bidirectional, including NMC cells. The counter argument is that there may very well be bidirectional pieces in powerwall and wall...

The last VW Beetle had that large dash top and it was not attractive
