FSD reduced to $12,000, Highland price is initially $500 higher than current M3. I think both of these are telling. 1.) Highland was supposedly cost reduction driven. It looks like an performance upgrade. It should cost less to build, but Tesla is going to charge more to start with for...

I just completed our annual pilgrimage to an unnamed lake in Idaho. 780 miles in one day in our Sienna with 250k miles. We normally do the return leg in 2 days but we are dropping our son off at college today. (last one) So if I get my CT by 8/1/25 can I make the trip easily? This...

If the rumors are true and the first released models only have 300 is miles of range. First of all I called it. Second there are going to be some disappointed reservation holders. Most of us won't need 500 miles of range except for 10?? days per year. Personally our big family vacation is...

OK folks concentrate. The validity of this poll requires some assumptions. You might not like them, but live with them. You can tell me I am full of it in your comments. 1.) The price of the tri motor is $79,420, The price of the dual motor is $59,420. The single motor is not available...

This is exciting stuff. They are beginning to produce the body in mass production. Not to be a negative nabob of negativity, but if this is door, it is a long way from being a complete door part. But the fact that they made (4) of something is encouraging. They must have a plan to finish...

Who thinks Tesla will double stack the 4680 cells for the long range version? I just can't see it. 1.) Unless the lower range version is a lot different than the long range version there will be a 80 plus mm void or wasted space on the standard range models. or 2.) There would be a...

My dual motor reservation is 219,567 according to the tracker and 654,114 overall. I have sworn I will never buy a new ICE and my existing cars are all worn out. I am thinking about leasing the plainest Jane white Model 3 RWD this weekend. Currently the most efficient BEV in production...

If TSLA stock remains around $120 per share at the time of your order/purchase will you still buy? Personally for me, no I won't purchase it. I don't really need a truck and I don't plan my CT as a daily driver. I will probably drive my Aptera most places if just me and one other. The CT...

The price of the model Y is already fallen in China in Europe. This is a function of competition, increased production volumes and decreased wait times. I suspect Tesla will need to continue to sweeten the pot to keep up the sales volume, especially in a global recession. As an olive...

I read an article that Tesla locked up substantial lithium supply 10 years ago when there was little competition. How much could they have locked up? I can hardly believe the production increases in the stationary battery storage market, Tesla plus everyone else. That has got to be a...

@Crissa made a great point in the CT pricing debate. 'Tesla knew the CT would be a great cost/mile of range value as compared to the model Y' While this appears true today; I think you have to flash back to early 2019 when Elon was looking to shock the world with the CT pricing. During...

This is a HYPOTHETICAL POLL. NO RESPONSE REQUIRED. VOTE OR DON'T. IFF (if and only if) We know Elon does not like too many options in the manufacturing line. He also is an engineering perfectionist. Personally I think the he would be annoyed and embarrassed anytime his saw a CT doing...

Answer this question from the perspective of a CT3 reservation holder or CT2 holder thinking about upgrading to a CT3, knowing the following: This CT2 has a range of 320 miles and 4ws and the 2023 price listed is $59,900. The future CT3 price is not known yet but it won't be available to...

With the CT now available for the $7500 tax credit, Tesla can finally price the CT. I suspect the CT2 edition will take the biggest hit since it will definitely be less than $80,000. $49000 to $57,400 Will it be that obvious? That said it would be in line with what many have predicted...

I watched the latest Berlin drone video. A couple things really struck me in comparison to the Giga Texas video. I had assumed that the giga factories were more similar. I could not be more wrong. Some of the differences can be attributed to regional construction and product mix but I...

https://electrek.co/2022/07/13/aptera-asks-congress-make-tesla-plug-superchargers-standard-evs-us/ I would love this. The Tesla plug is clearly better. Let's not have to fuss with adapters for our CT. Every ounce of material saved and making the plug standard smooth and sleek helps the EV...

The competition is heating up. For many of us the CT will be mostly used as a rugged SUV with the ability to tow, most of the time. This NIO offering is intriguing because it is designed to tow, supplies substantial power to the trailer, and I believe has a swappable battery up to 150Kwhr...

Is the Tesla decision to allow Model Y sales to local Texas Y reservation holders a good sign? I think so. https://insideevs.com/news/586630/tesla-modely-standard-range-awd-4680-delivery/ Step 1: Pre release testing. Lab and track. Step 2: Release to employees for best feedback and...

Since the batteries are the most expensive single part of a EV many people think that when they see significant degradation that is the end of life for an EV. Because other component failures will start to fail around that time as well. I have been hoping since the beginning that 2-3 million...

Sorry I have to do it again. With the recent announcement that Gigaaustin will produce both 2170 model Y and 4680 model Ys and that GigaBerlin will start with 2170 is clear to me Tesla might be struggling with the 4680s. They also said they won't switch Berlin over until late in the year...
