Tesla’s corporate culture regarding the legal function (and so compliance), seeded by Musk’s own prerogatives, has long been in shambles. It’s only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt the shareholders. I’ll admit that as a corporate lawyer and a general counsel myself, I could be...

and it’s a fun idea, even if there are a few roadblocks to it being more than an idea. But this deal between Tesla and Ford does begin to create a situation where more things are possible. For example, probably becomes one step closer to tesla being able to strike deals with let’s say a...

At $80K that’s not “a lot,” that’s nearer to “impossible” Ford and GM combined probably don’t sell 250,000 1/2 ton trucks that are $80K Not terribly reasonably to think CT will in its first full year of release capture (or add) the equivalent of an entire market for $80K+ trucks. To say...

Starting early next year, Ford EV customers will have access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada... Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning and E-Transit customers will be able to access the Superchargers via an adapter and software integration along with activation and...

I’m empathetic to this point RE physical controls while towing - it’s definitely not a “fake objection” When maneuvering a trailer, with eyes/attention focused behind the vehicle, it’s both comforting and useful to have a hand on a physical gear lever/dial/stalk. Because a person can operate a...

i think I deciphered now that I’ve had a beer because EIA says 69% of vehicles will be trucks in 2050, presumably the forecast is that in 2040 they’re something like 65% if EV trucks are 8% of 65%, they’re ~5% of total cars on road in 2040 of the 35% that are cars in 2040, ~26% are EV, which...

Take as maybe an example: Consistent with the copy, this graph that ARK compiled suggests that the EIA 2022 forecast for total EV market share in the U.S. in 2040 is just less than 14% But the very next graph ARK compiled is saying that in 2040 it will be … huh? … >25% for EV cars plus ~8%...

On one hand, I like this reply! On the other hand, I’m not sure why! Is “reaction time” relevant to turn indication? (Admittedly, some people appear to treat it as a last-second operation, but that’s poor driving.) Has anyone ever broken a stalk? I’ve broken a lot of vehicle parts, but a...

For payload, I suspect it won’t be dissimilar from other OEM air suspensions. As you add payload, the air suspension inflates to keep the truck level and suspension with “normal” travel height. Begin to the exceed the payload and it stops adding air and/or disables the truck so you don’t mover...

:oops:

I don't think Ford builds any of its chargers, home or otherwise If Ford is going to change it's TN BEV platforms to the Tesla standard, I don't see them *not* using Tesla chargers for stations or home. Who else would build them?

no need to wonder what that it looks like or why it's designed that way - its analogue has been around in Tesla designs for over 10 years

it seems you mean to say "any driver benefits that I agree with" I'm not qualified to give that answer. Nor am I saying I know Tesla's answer to the less prickly question of "does Tesla see benefits to removing stalks" I only gave just two examples, which don't seem to resonate with you, but...

Relevant: Some folks here appear to think or suggest that the CT's adaptive suspension will allow them to just choose a height to run in any condition. For example, set at max height for driving around. I suppose it's possible Tesla breaks with industry and safety norms, but it seems...

since we're gabbing, I'll mention that you and I actually have closely related interests/concerns RE the seat space While I only have 3 kids, they're all under the age of 5, the newest being 3 months old. So I have YEARS of full-sized car seats ahead of me. If the CT cant fit 3 full-sized...

certainly wasn't suggesting that there wont be individuals such as yourself. and meanwhile, I would bet that one of the two new Tesla models to be revealed soon (?) will be a van on a platform that doubles for both retail and fleet

but be clear about one thing: it was *not* presented as having *that* kind of 6th seat those around here disappointed in the lack of 6th *real* seat will not all be satisfied if it has a ranger-like jump seat under a ranger-like console this is to say nothing of the issue raised a million...

makes for completely confusing conversation when people don't make the distinction between "what will Tesla sell, for how much, in 2024" vs "what will Tesla sell eventually"

show your work on how the CT will be any different, to any material degree that is obvious or noteworthy
