When we picked up our '23 Model Y in Nov., we asked about it since we got one when getting our '18 Model 3. They said hold on and came out with another red Model 3 just like the one we had already. We took it anyway since having 2 can't hurt...;-)

Well it's either that or keep the voltage at 400vdc and install huge heavy batteries to meet the range estimates they have suggested that are north of 500 miles in a heavy truck platform. I'm no electrical engineer but Tesla probably has a few on staff to come up with a solution.

I'm wondering about those of us that don't want to cancel but just may not be ready to confirm when contacted. I confirmed right away when contacted for my pre-reveal Model 3 order even though I had planned getting a $35k Model 3. The time it took them to get to production and my reservation...

You are right about the L2 charging since the inverter in the car will be changing the AC incoming into what ever the voltage is needed for the DC battery. As for the Supercharging, since Teslas are currently using a 400vdc battery and and are charged at that rate bypassing the inverter since...

I haven't cancelled my reservation but I did decide to add a Model Y to our garage which we picked up Nov. 4. By getting that, I'll likely be pushing off or cancelling any offers by Tesla to confirm my CT reservation. I could predict it was still going to be a year or more away so just...

I did put in my reservation when I did a CT reservation early on but the wait to see if I'll even keep that reservation is taking so long that is why I included the tow package on the MY for the occasional dump rum or furniture move. Don't really need a truck as a daily driver but was going to...

Since having paid for FSD on our 2018 Model 3, I decided to wait on it when purchasing our 2023 Model Y. I rarely used the additional features FSD added to regular AP. Over 4.5 years of ownership, summoned maybe 7 times, auto parked 2 times, auto interchanged 6-7 times, tried it on city...

The race is on for which I'll get first. Will it be my Cybertruck or my Aptera? A Model Y with a tow hitch could be in the cards instead of either if the wait takes too long.

If price is too high for a 500 mile range CT, I'll probably just buy the Model Y with a tow package and a small utility trailer for the rare times I actually need a truck. I won't be cancelling my reservation in either case as the price swings I've seen with Tesla going up and down are pretty...

I'm on the CT reservation list also but will still be considering the MY LR since it will be much easier to park in my garage plus with a tow package and a small utility trailer, I'll probably be able to do fine without a truck. I'm waiting to order the MY LR since I already drive a Model 3 LR...

I agree and that's after the split...;-)

Thanks for taking the time to referience those quotes. Looks like later this year and next will be some exciting times for us.

I have no problem with the 2170 cells and hope they do make sound decisions about their use but since they've touted the new structural manufacturing as cost savings along with the new cells being great, who doesn't want to know more about timelines? Maybe I'm not understanding the reason this...

Even if the 4680 info isn't released, when will structural packs be coming out of Fremont? If Berlin can use 2170 cells in a structural pack, Fremont should be able to also. The structural pack is supposed to be another area of cost saving that will either increase profits or lower retail...

Hoping for a 20:1 split. Would like to know if or when the 4680 cells will make it to a structural pack in Fremont? Are there any early 4680 Model Y charging and efficiency stats?

There are plans for a trailers that uses batteries and motors to assist propelling itself. I'm sure the cost for such a trailer will be up there but it shouldn't impact the tow vehicles range too much. Here's just one example...

Surprised to see the moderators are letting this topic turn into a political statement but since they have, I see choices as pretty simple for myself. Fascism or democratic socialism Autocracy or democracy Asleep to truth or woke and seeking truth Climate deniers or science supporters The list...

This is why I wish they would have the charging port on the front of the Cybertruck. That way you could pull straight up to any supercharger and if towing, you'd only be blocking the area behind the truck leaving the lanes open for access on either side. May not work at Superchargers where the...

Just as a side point of interest but no value as to what may actually happen when/if that day comes... I placed a refundable $1k reservation for a Model 3 sight unseen and final price unknown on March 31, 2016. 2 years later, I got an email from Tesla telling me if I want to confirm my...
