You and I are saying different things. I think you are talking original design. What I am saying is the “hardware” is capable of 10 degrees and so the software is key to opening the ability when they are ready. Regardless of when the change was made to the physical pieces and parts, it left the...
Well, reviewing the performance of the Rivian and the Hummer and then assuming the CT will/always will perform the same is like saying you've tried an Android phone, didn't like it, so the iPhone must suck too (or make the example the other way around if you are sensitive about either phone)...
One thing worth remembering, RWS isn't just so you can make tight turns. At freeway speeds, the rears turn in the same direction as the fronts. The purpose for this is improved stability, and lower chance of a loss of control accident (when compared to FWS only cars). More advantages when...
So, let me ask this question. Is it fair to compare a fully mature and developed 2170 cell to a gen 1 4680? Might the software improve in the future? Might future versions of the battery show improvements? Aren't we on V2 with a new composition in the works?
Tesla is selling two different wall chargers. The first is the old one. The second is the “universal” unit, with both the J1772 and NACS. The website says this one supports PowerShare.

Joe,
Congrats on the new MYLR. I’m working in your area most days now. Feel free to DM me and we can get together for lunch sometime. Enjoy the new car!
If you have never worked with Control by Wire of a vehicle, there is a “Crawl, Walk, Run” approach that is universally taken. Tesla appears to be taking this same approach, rather than the “wild cowboy“ rep with which they are often portrayed.
I also don’t see this having an impact on FSD. The...
I’m a later convert to the BEV. But, once I was convinced, I’ve gone all in. I have purchased my last ICE car. In less than 2 months, I’ll visit my last gas station, and send my last dollar to an oil company. Massive torque is addictive, and I’m hooked. I hope you get your VIN assigned soon. I...
I get it. I’ve been a horse guy since I was 8. I watch my neighbor back his 4 horse 5th wheel into his long driveway with an awkward approach off the street all the time. And I don’t have the solutions, but what I said was, I wouldn’t put anything past the designers.
I don’t think anyone in the legacy OEMs are breathing a sigh of relief these days. Whether or not Tesla is encroaching on their HD truck market with the CT is of little consequence. Tesla has moved into the BEV truck market. And that is going to keep more than a couple of execs up at night...
I’ve only ever driven one car that I thought had too much power. And that was because the car just wasn’t designed to handle it. Like I said, there are multiple benefits to the extra power, outside the stop light drag race, or everyone’s favorite excuse, the “freeway on-ramp” scenario. For me...
When it comes to Tesla, I’ve learned not to rule anything out.
Yes, the sails could pose a problem with a standard 5th wheel on a standard mount. But that’s not to say there isn’t a creative solution. Again, I don’t know that towing a 5th wheel is in the design criteria for a truck this size...
Hey now, think about this a bit before you say that…
There are two things the CT can do to prevent and/or correct a situation where the rear is trying to pass the front. First, you have the ability to use torque vectoring. Adding some power to one of the rear wheels will make it try to...
