I can already see the people living in sub-zero winter states furiously staring at their frozen CT while mashing their Tesla App for the door to open.

I could certainly imagine that in the foreseeable future people may need special (paid for) exemptions in order to have ICE vehicles. I can hear California's gov't rubbing their greedy hands together already. There will pretty much always be a need for fossil fuel, but it may just be relegated...

I think Elon will say "the CT was a joke, you're never gonna get one, thanks for the $100" then shed his skin and ascend into the sky

our Scandinavian and Australian forum members would love for you to be right... alas, they could be #1 in line and it wouldn't make a difference...

when the time comes, yes. Peoples "place in line" right now is a realllly loose representation of where you actually stand in the true queue (unless you have a serviceable crystal ball)... people will cancel, many people ordered multiple orders for single/dual/tri and will cancel, many won't...

In the long run I think having "exclusive chargers" is only going to hurt companies... Imagine if you could only get gas for your Ford at the Ford Gas Stations... exclusivity and proprietary charging is a losing game IMO then again... people are gonna make bank off of after market charging...

do you know... what type of people... frequent this forum? ?

Rofl I was thinking the same thing... like, uhmm, yeah the building is barely beyond it's steel framing, This is what happens when people are starved of information and constantly trying to extrapolate from the minimal info they have. But anyway, cheers to Doomsday Austin, it's got a nice ring.

if a Cybertruck shows up at our Tesla center in CO Springs, we'll be booking a test drive in that thing immediately, I can't wait.

hate to be pessimistic but it's highly unlikely given the Cybertrucks pricing and the fact that it isn't part of the more "luxury line-up" that the X and S fall into. I doubt the Y and 3 will see it either, That said, hopefully this comment ages poorly and I am entirely wrong. It would be awesome.

I'm sure Elon is terrified

I honestly don't see the appeal of the R1T over the CT (thinking in terms of Tri-motor here). Why pay more money for a vehicle that gets 100 less miles, especially if you plan to be "exploring" in it? to me the only thing that I could see the R1T beating out the CT on would be aesthetics, which...

Brian Iguchi is a snowboarding legend! So stoked to see him in this, wow

I'd say you're spot on... The solar problem may just be that people are not stepping back outside the box enough to take a fresh look at it. I'm sure people are, to be fair, but so far it's been less than impressive on the innovation front. 25-30% efficiency is far from mind blowing

I don't have much knowledge about thin film panels, I primarily just dealt with the large format 350W-ish panels which are already just about the size of the tonneau cover. I truly hope that solar panel efficiency can be improved, but given the lack of improvement over the last few years my...

I used to install solar arrays for a living on both roof tops and ground mounts... with the technology of today Elon is very much correct that it is of minimal practical use for something like the CT, assuming you only had the tonneau cover's surface area to work with. You could use it to keep...

I see, so you're talking about seeing the white buffalo test vehicle rolling down the street, snapping some footage of it and/or getting some interior shots if it happens to be parked. Count me in, I just want updates at this point, the amount of info we've been operating off of for over a year...

spotted on the roads shortly? I don't think there will be enough CT's on the roads for anyone to really be seeing them with any relative frequency until mid 2022 at best. Assuming they have finalized their design, both interior and exterior, it would be great to have promotional videos...

If your strategy is to buy and hold long term, you *could* be extremely excited about what's going on, and using it as a buying opportunity.

the counter is definitely flawed inherently... you will get your CT "sooner" than what the counter predicts... that said, "sooner" is relative, given that the true deciding factor will be how soon the CT is in full scale production, and who actually finalizes their order when they finally get...
