I like this forum so much that I am gonna provide free online counseling service to any member that is anxious while waiting. This is how it works: Like this post, your name will show up somewhere in this post then your anxiety should be relieved. Repeat this step if symptoms persist. Lemur...
Exoskeleton was a key factor that convinced me CT would be made with high quality(due to its simplicity) and low cost at the unveil day of CT. Before this recent official photo from Tesla, I was reluctant to believe that CT could be following MY's path. On another note, I feel like this side...
For ETA, if you think about this, we all can't be more right than Elon, if he speaks the truth. And we can't be more wrong if one of us gets a CT this year. With all $ invested in 4680 and CT production, and weaker demand on all other models, Tesla has to create new demand strategically...
hmm, I am optimistic about the price at this point...at least within my budget if delivered no later than 2024. 2025 macro econ should improve meaning higher price but at the same time lower interest rate and battery cost. So future is bright just not sure about quality...so far the staffing...
There are about 4 layers of 4680 per pack on Semi, Here is the estimated section view:
Another estimated layout of the 82kWh battery pack:
Double stack 100 kWh is not that far away from us if Tesla can do 4 or more.
All LFP models will lose credit more or less.
CT with 100kWh will not be too bad for daily driving. R1T has about 2.25 miles per kWh efficiency vs 3.3-3.5 miles per kWh of Model X. CT dual motor version should sit around 3 miles per kWh. So not so hyped about the release date of long-range CT...
I am betting on CT with the most efficiency, then R1T dual motors then RAM 1500. Also, no 0-60 acceleration was mentioned, probably because the production design(config) is not finalized yet, and all current prototypes show variants of results on that metric. This is concerning, they must have...
As CT is a new breed from Tesla, whichever is the most reliable will be my pick since rear steering and air suspension are standard. I can't imagine myself shuffling the pieces of equipment stored in the bed in and out of a service center. For the same reason, the range is almost equivalent...
