Interesting perspective. I think some good points here, however, one fundamental consideration:
Has Tesla ever released a product in its category not ahead of its competition?
I don’t think so
if they do not release something that beats Rivian and Ford lightning in overall performance, it...
Ugh. I wish we were seeing something closer to a shippable sample, even for RC units - - makes me think we may be further off than hoped for launch.
Will be very disappointed if October ticks by without another update from Tesla
Yep. That’s my point.
Not recent and 4 yrs ago
I just read the other thread of the Baja “owner” string it’ll go 500mi, but that’s not official from Tesla.
I pray we’ll see 450-500. Would be awesome.
I read that article as well. I cannot comment what is real or not real on it but it seems odd that weight is not amongst the top design considerations from the get go
It makes it sound like they’re retroactively trying to take weight out after they got it on the scales and it was fatty fat -...
It depends what type of offloading. You want a wide base if you are desert running and need large 35 inch tires to articulate and stay within the fender wells. This is why the raptor and TRX are so wide compared to the regular F150 however, if you are trail running, like a jeep would you would...
Why would I do that? I’m at the top of the list. Been waiting almost 4 years. I will definitely take delivery. Hopefully it’ll be as promised and worth the wait.
Uh no.
Not saying that at all. Point is quite simple: collecting $200 million in reservations for a product that was supposed to be delivered almost three years ago. Is poor form and calling out. Corporate governance is not at all a conspiracy theory or a stretch when you look at the practice...
I’m well aware we can get $100 back - that’s not my point
My point is it now being October it’s technically another miss / broken promise by Tesla. Getting old and poor form for Tesla.
This thread says, get ready for October,… Based on what?
Was there an update from Tesla ?
It was supposed to be third-quarter so everyone was hoping it would be September. Nothings been said, nothing happened, now it’s October.
Kind of surprising a company can hold $100-$200 million+ in deposits for years without any governance. If they’re not...
It’s actually much bigger than the Tacoma in every dimension:
5 inches longer
7 inches wider
7 inches taller
it’s just as close to an F150 as it is to a Tacoma
