Tesla prices model Y within the average range for cars sold in the US. I think it’s intentional, and I think it’s a hint. The average truck sells from around $40k, and the average premium truck sells in the Mid $70’s. I think the first trucks may be ultra premium, and command a higher price, but...

That’s what ceramic is for. Our grey leather in our previous Toyota had jean staining, but no ceramic. Our white in our Y, has no staining after a year. I used Hydrosilex cleaners, and interior ceramic. It’s easy to use, and keeps the seats white.

Tell me you don’t live in FL, with out saying you don’t live in FL. We have white in our Y, and they are great. I got a 3 loaner from Tesla today, it had black interior. I think I got 3rd degree burns through my shorts. No thanks. I’ll get some seat covers, when it’s gonna get dirty. But...

are you referring to the bumper silhouette on the tailgate? Or did you see something else?

This comment is very underrated!! 4680's are the keys to production ramp and range, and probably cost. I assume Tesla developed the 4680, to be lower cost than 2170, and 18650. IF the 4680 energy density has not improved, there is no way it will be ready for Cybertruck. So Cybertruck may get...

I car camped in my Model Y Performance over the weekend. We started off at Walmart. Unfortunately, some undesirable individuals were also camping at Walmart, and they were acting inapparopiately, and even eliminating in the lot. This drove the store manager to call the police to make everyone...

You could build a box trailer 18 feet long, and 8 feet high. It would hold 6 Tesla panels on each side, and depending on width, it could hold 6 to 9 on the top. Make the side articulate up, like and awning, and you could charge your CT, to about 50% each day. Since the trailer is mobile, you...

I think Elon gave us some hints about his comments in other statements. First he said the next two models are coming soon, and those will account for 5,000,000 sakes per year. The silhouette looked slot like a refreshed Model y. Maybe produced with a more unboxed design. That’s means higher...

I doubt it. I think he constantly looks at statistics and sales volumes. He has said as much when raising and lowering prices on 3 and Y. I think there is a good chance the first trucks will be high end, and expensive, while they figure out how to ramp up. But The ASP will have to be in the...

I’m flying to Austin and letting that sucker drive me home!!!

I mounted my EVSE to the wall on the drivers side of my Tesla Model Y, and it’s proximal to the garage door. This serves a few functions. It allows quick easy charges of the model Y when parked in the garage. But if I’m doing a project in the garage, I can back up to the garage door, and still...

Oh, I love this game! How to do stuff, with things?

I don't know about anthropogenic global warming. I don't even care to debate it, because I don't know. I do know in just over 100 years humanity has used a massive amount of resources that took millions of years to form in the earth. In less than a few hundred more years, at todays pace, we will...

I assume the new Cathode factory on the Giga Austin site will play a role in successfully ramping 4680's. But they way they are backyard engineering them right now seems to be a real struggle. It seems like the real limiting factor is dry battery electrode adhesion, and I listened to a few...

Those figures follow the Model 3 roll out pretty closely, first year estimates are double to quadruple model 3, but after that its pretty close. Model 3 was notoriously hard to build, and Cybertruck should be easier, but it seems like they are having an awful time with the battery cells, and...

There are, and typically they are similar to the one in your picture, so some portion is painted. The Cybertruck is reflective from all angles and all directions. My eye even picked up the glare form the A pillar in that photo, which illuminated the issue for me.

I know YouTubers aren’t quite the full truth, nothing but the truth type, but there was this story. Personally I would think a solar canopy at home makes more sense. also, I’ve said this on other threads, but it bears repeating. I have free off peak charging from my utility. (Technically...

Did you notice the two mile deep dashboard? I think this thing will have a frunk the size of a mobster Caddy trunk. I think they did it to create aerodynamics, and avoid brick shape.

This is a very flattering angle for the truck. However the glare confirms for me that I want to put a flat black wrap on mine. I live in south FL with about 300 days of sunshine per year. That glare is going to be brutal for oncoming traffic. Hopefully one of my neighbors will do it first so I...

I think what we do know, is that when Giga Austin started production of the structural pack Model Y with 4680's, it was a dual motor standard range, most likely because of the power density of the first gen 4680's. There is evidence floating around, speculative though it may be, that the energy...
