Or they put the improved cells and get 400 ish. Kind of like they did with the M3 long range. Most flattish low snow states don't need 4wd.

I think you are mostly right except for the little demand levers they are pulling. The RWD performance will be surprisingly good. I would consider it if they kept the 4ws and the range, but if I recall they are planning on less range.

I am simply saying that the $80-100k plus truck market is nearing saturation. The % of people that can afford it simply doesn't exist at 200k units per year. Sure your have a buddy that paid $95k for a Silverado, but look at the big data. The lesser trucks will be discounted first, then...

It is a choice of priorities. To each their own. FWIW I could pay cash tomorrow.

WTF. My bus is a one of a kind toy. It is fun. What is your point?

"Only" Only a sith lord deals in absolutisms. Red/blue sales motivation for the CT is peanuts..... a red herring. Elon is about a world reorder, which even he can't truly doesn't understand. It is uncharted territory. UBI, exodus to Mars, digital currency, no vehicle ownership for the...

So your current reservation, if you have one, probably won't apply to a "smaller" CT. The $100 reservations have proven not to be worth much. They may have even be a detriment to value to bring your order in 3 months. I am considering the Scout and the RAM EREV range extended model but...

I have been following the CT for a long time and $100 doesn't really mean much. Cancelling was a little hard. You got me, it is personal validation. As stated, I still want one, and may purchase if 1:3 things change and if it helps your validation I am a little jealous. :) I know my...

As stated, the reservation system no longer means anything. So buy or get your money back. This is not a boycott thread. For me 1 of 3 things need to change. If I were to rank them, the range/battery is probably the highest. This has been argued to death. I hate the red/blue crap and...

THE LATTER! haha

Before I get blasted, I still want the truck, it is the best on the market at the current price. Congrats to owners. I may still buy one, but the reservation system means nothing and I might as well take my family out for dinner. At least 1 of 3 things would have to change to help me...

My wife and I gross $250k and there is not a path to a $1000 payment for us. The pool of folks that can afford that is only so deep. No matter how you slice it, $80k is way more than the average wannabee truck owner can or should spend. Tesla won't make 250,000 per year at that rate...

$.25 per mile over 10,000 per year.. This is the same as my M3 lease. Not too bad if you consider the vehicle is almost double the upfront cost.

If you have lots of time to go slower and backtrack then you might be ok with 300 miles and these areas become doable. The route planning limitations is worse than the 30 minute stops.

That would work but the connector won't let the vehicle move and I don't want to have a plug draped over the side of the truck. I believe that safety is hard circuitry. It would need to be tricked somehow. You should be able to bypass the connector and wall charger all together.

Do share. On the CT I was envisioning a intake/exhaust board that the tonneau could interface with. You would hardly see it at all.

This is 170 lbs and can produce 7000 max running watts which could provide full power to the onboard charger. Obviously a purpose built fixed generator could be lighter and quieter than this, but it gives you an idea of the cost. Double or triple for detailing for sound and vibration...

My luck I would snag the wipper. Anybody have to replace on yet?

I am a huge EV electrify everything fan so when I get lectures about how more range is not required I get annoyed. I am not trying to tow a home on wheels either. I don't want a 9000 lb vehicle 95% of the time either. Everyone has different criteria, but road trips that I dream about and...

Superchargers are too scarce in rural Utah Idaho.... basically the west. Backtracking to the highway is not feasible.
