Brings up a point. On the 4WD models, is there limited-slip between the left and right wheels in front and back? If not, then "4WD" really means "2WD." Anybody know? Also, can the 4WD CT be switched to 2WD, or is it permanently in 4?

No, Dave, Tesla will charge whatever it wants in Canada. They don't use a standard currency conversion.

Thanks for this. To me the two most outstanding features are the adjustable height and the rear-wheel steering. Your list includes one but not the other.

Somebody who's planning to keep the vehicle for 5, 10, 15 years, because as the battery loses, say, one-fifth of its power due to cycling, time, temp extremes, whatever, that person would be happier if they started with a 400 vs a 300 mi range. Or somebody who'll be driving in the rare...

I was hoping to get an answer in dollars and ounces-or-grams per vehicle, not percentages.

If the only (or main) benefit of 48v is cost- and weight-saving due to thinner wires, I'd like to know the exact size of that benefit. I bet it's negligible.

Yes, a huge benefit for those who live in a snow-belt. The only other mainstream vehicle with adjustable height (AFAIK) was the Citroen sedan of the 60s, that I owned several of, and therefore lead to questions if anybody has answers. 1 Can the CT be DRIVEN (with normal dampening) when full up...

How many models of cars and trucks are being made as we speak? (I'd guess over 100.) What's a primary goal of every maker? (I'd guess cost-cutting in the manufacture.) How many of those models use a 48v system? (I'd guess NONE.) If my guesses are reasonably accurate, how would you account for...

My guess is custom nothing for the first 6-12 months, then more and more as demand slows and production-confidence increases. I expect (or at least hope) that a wrap will be among the early options, either the pieces for the owner to apply or have done, or put on at the factory.

BAD news for Canadians 1. Conversion of US prices to Canadian dollars: Tesla does not go by standard exchange rates; rather, they grab the Canadian price out of a hat. For instance, the US price to pay a deposit was US$100. The official exchange rate at that time would have put the Canadian...

Because I want a Tesla, but am in no rush. Why do I want a Tesla? Apart from the obvious, that everybody knows about, there are two other reasons: 1. No stealership pressures and hassles -- which can be so annoying that if I had to buy from a dealer, I'd hire a professional to negotiate for...

Or they may offer their place-in-line to others for a price.

My first thing? Getting it wrapped!

Dave, you know something about when deliveries to Canada will start??

What does BAW stand for? Bad-ass wiper? I hope the final version will have a cove for the wiper to be safe in. Replacements won't be cheap.

A spreadsheet shows when the CT will get to Canada? Can I have more info?

Don't blame your age, blame Tesla's failure to respect the principle that vehicles should provide a reasonable measure of intuitiveness. Example: "My eyes are getting wonky -- would you drive?" [Ten minutes later] "I'd be glad to but I've never driven a Tesla and I can't figure how to make it...

I thought I read here that it would have all-metal rims/tires.

This is possibly irrelevant, but it's factual. My Citroen with adjustable road clearance would let you drive at low or high road clearance, but the further from medium or normal height, the less the suspension operation so the bumpier the ride. It had a long wheelbase, so sometimes needed to...

I read somewhere that the CT would be available in North America only.
