65000 people are willing to pay over $100k for a 9000# behemoth. 65001 - the CT3 is superior in almost every statistic, the quad plaid would blow the Hummer away 65002 - the CT in any form will be way more environmentally friendly. Likely 60% of the watts per mile. 65003 - the high margin...

We all read the stories about the computer sleuths finding tidbits of information on the new Tesla models or features before they roll out. If I recall there are already hints about the CT with some off-road sensors etc. What go me wondering about all this was the potential model line up for...

I recently bought NIO on the dip, mostly because the momentum with the battery swaps in Asia. While Tesla obviously thought hard about battery swaps and went the other way, it was a USA driven mindset. I think they made the right decision. I don't really see vehicle battery swaps...

In my Rivian price swing post I hypothesized a $130k Plaid CT Quad 4WS. I actually think Tesla could price the CT Plaid higher than the S Plaid. After all it will have the highest range and the best tech. Since Telsa "owes us" a CT3 tri motor level performance for $70-80K and there...

I always wondered why the RWD single motor CT had a range of 250 miles while the dual motor had a range of 300 miles. While the easy answer is a slightly larger battery pack, could it be that one of the motors in the CT2 is a permanent magnet motor and it is more efficient. Like Tesla does...

Several years ago I bought a DC powered MIG wire feed welder. I still have it. With 3 12v lead acid batteries in series I could put down a respectable amount of 1/2" fillet weld before the batteries needed charging. Pure DC can makes a very nice arc. Minus the batteries the kit...

STATE-BY-STATE FEES Here's a rundown of the states that currently charge electric-vehicle owners added fees, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures: California: $100 annual fee for a zero-emissions vehicle. Starting in January 2021, annual increases will be indexed to the...

I am not really saying that Tesla doesn't plan to build the CT. I am just saying that Tesla made great progress against their mission statement, simply by announcing and keeping the CT hyped up. Some of the bold claims made in 2019 (mostly price) might not be possible now but what did they...

Bollinger just announced they are cancelling consumer trucks and focusing on commercial trucks. They will start refunds on Monday. My quick research showed they may have had 19,000 reservations at $1000 each. I am guessing many people already got a refund, but $19,000,000 in refunds got to...

For the poll assume - the new quad has the same 500 mile range but a 0-60 of 2.4 seconds and can do a tank turn. It also includes the hard solar tonneau. Off road tires are an upgrade and you loose 50 miles of range. - Tesla maintains the existing 3 trims for close to the reservation...

Ford announced that F150 lightning owners will need to agree not to re sell their trucks for a year. Apparently they did the same thing with their Mustang GT and it held. So the WAS for the day is would Tesla do something like that? If they did, what affect would it have on converted...

If there was a magic option to swap out the 3 mm ss for 2 mm and it saved you $3000 and you gained 20 miles of range would you take the option? This would be pretty darn durable, just would not stop bullet like the 3 mm. WAG weight savings 400 lbs.

Currently I would not pay $10,000 for FSD. Maybe the $8000 per my reservation, but even then I am not so sure. That said I really want auto park. Even if it is simply lining up with a stall getting out and letting the CT pull forward 25 feet. What are the odds that Tesla could make...

It occured to me that the CT seats are more angular as evidenced by the design patent. What changes come from angularity? Are angular seats built the same? Will the foam fill the straight sections out? Might we expect something very different? Are the backs going to be hard plastic...

Personally I think Tesla is going to fight like hell to keep the CT close to performance and prices at reveal. That said some of the features are proving to be challenge at the price point. The tonneau, wiper, and tailgate, got just a little more complicated in the real world. The...

Why would we wait any longer. Most of the problems have been solved.

CleanTechnical Battery Production Progress This article basically said that pilot line yields were sufficient to order all the production equipment and that everything was in fact on order. I thought that was a pretty good milestone and my fellow Cybertruckers would be a little more excited...

The CT is too cheap. Why would you buy a long range S or a Y for $90k/$60k when you can get a $70K CT with 500 miles range? Granted some people want a car, but for pure economics Tesla is undercutting their own market. I don't see Tesla working too hard to crank out 250,000 CT per year at...

My son's parents got a Plaid S. I went for a ride. Sure it was quick, quiet, and comfortable, but I have to say boring at the same time. The CT will have more utility and will take you to adventures, but something about the driving experience is going away. This really hit me for some...

Any idea what the watts and voltage that the tonneau cover will generate and how it might actually charge the traction pack? From personal experience stepping 500 watts of 32VDC up to 120VDC is hard. I could not imagine trying to get to 600VDC or whatever the CT will end up with. Elon...
