It appears that Tesla has now invited all reservation holders to order non-FS versions. Are there any US reservation holders still waiting for an invite to order a non-FS version? If so (check your account first...), post your ~ reservation date and location below.

I created a CT reservation in mid-July of this year (RN 12222XXXX). Just two weeks later (Aug 2nd) we were invited to configure a Foundation Series. Today we received an invite to configure a non-foundation series. I went to the configurator and built a DM which showed Oct-Nov delivery...

A couple of weeks ago (July 17) on a whim I reserved a CT (after cancelling my previous one). I figured we would re-visit next year or so. This afternoon I got an invite to order the Foundation Series for delivery in next month! So I can confirm that Tesla is now at the very end of the...

Got the email inviting me to order... delivery by June Comes with Free Charger 10k towing 400 mile range 5' 11" bed Super Cruise 4 wheel steering 350kw max charging 0-60 4.5 sec We shall see...

It looks like the current range extender that adds 130 miles (target 160 miles) to the dual will chew up about 2 feet of bed space. For my money, a 65 mile extender (80 mile target) that only consumes 1 foot would be the sweet spot that cause me to grab it. Anyone else up for a half range extender?

Deserves its own thread. The Foundation Series says specifically "FSD Capability" In its list of included features. So... does that mean that it includes FSD (future OTA) or that it is only FSD "capable" like all Teslas allegedly are and you will still have to pay for FSD in the future? Here...

The range extender = 130 extra miles / 340 or ~38% of the CT battery Capacity (probably closer to 40% given the weight penalty). If the CT has a 125KWH battery pack that means the extender = 48 - 50 kwh. When operating as a V2H backup power supply that is 4.5 powerwalls or $38k worth of power...

Will take full 350 kw on v4 superchargers. 18-20 minutes to run from 15% - 85% (add 225 - 240 miles). So saith Lars Moravy (VP Vehicle engineering) and confirmed by that guy named Franz. I am so happy. LOL

I think this should be a good way to gauge the aspects of the CT that people are happy with / unhappy with. (lmk if I missed something important)

This is a pretty big letdown

The main question I have about the Tesla armor windows is how chip and crack resistant the windshield will be. That thing is going to cost an arm and a leg to replace and it will be extremely prone to rocks and road debris (just due to its size). I want to see a demo where they shoot gravel at...

Seems like this needs a poll... assuming the no resale / buyback provisions are real, do you like it, hate it, does it change your intent to purchase?

Have we seen this one already? https://videopress.com/v/XjTZJfgL It is too much fun and the little kid is priceless.

... from Spotted_Model on fka Twitter I've gotten lots of flack for the "MINDBLOWING" post I made earlier today with lots of people challenging me or saying I'm just engagement farming. In truth, although those who follow me know I sometimes post funny, sarcastic satirical humor (making fun of...

IMO a good well-balanced overview for a generalist audience. A few errors (e.g. "bullet proof windows") but otherwise worth a watch.

Totally speculative but ... any guesses on whether Tesla will announce CT fleet launch customers (like they did with Semi)? If CT is going to get quick street cred, it would make sense to have a few big fleets like Centerpoint Energy / PG&E and perhaps a Penske or Barco plus as part of the...

Interesting news out of Bloomberg this afternoon: "Tesla Inc. plans to give an early glimpse of its revamped Model 3 sedan as part of Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s first visit to the carmaker’s Shanghai factory in years, according to people familiar with the matter. The first cars coming...

Gauntlet has been thrown. This is the work truck model no less! Cybertruck needs 500 miles. https://electrek.co/2023/05/19/chevy-silverado-ev-electric-pickup-450-miles-range/
