  1. New Battery Range & Pack Architecture [Announced at Battery Day]

    Keep in mind that when I say long trip that equals 1100+ miles and it will be FAST. UNDER 1000 miles = not a long trip and no big deal. I've made the trip from Austin, TX to Memphis, TN and from Austin to St Louis several times in one day on a Harley. Doing that in a 500 mile range CT would be...
  2. New Battery Range & Pack Architecture [Announced at Battery Day]

    What I think would be a great option - especially, with these new batteries! - is that Tesla makes an auxiliary battery pack that could be managed / moved by two people. It could be placed into the back of the CT when needed, connect through a special port (that has a dual liquid line and an...
  3. New Battery Range & Pack Architecture [Announced at Battery Day]

    Thank you for the advice. I'm aware and have used that web site before. But, your more detailed description if charge times was great. What you delineated in your comment is why I'm excited about the CT. However, in the context of the discussion that was being had people mentioned that long...
  4. New Battery Range & Pack Architecture [Announced at Battery Day]

    I don't think you read my post.. Yes, we switch off drivers every six hours... And, no I'm not "talking myself out of a CT! Why do so many read things into a comment that aren't there? The context of the discussion that was being has was that long range want really needed for an EV. This is a...
  5. New Battery Range & Pack Architecture [Announced at Battery Day]

    I'm describing my trips with my two sons... Apologies, it is 14 hrs - not 16. And, we drive mostly at night and several times just pull over on the side of the road in desolate west Texas to pee. We rarely stop more than five times in the whole 14 hr trip. Three times to fill up (one of those...
  6. New Battery Range & Pack Architecture [Announced at Battery Day]

    Just recognize that not everyone wants to drive as you do when going long distance. My vacation time is limited. When I take my two sons skiing we, typically, only have a couple days travel time for both directions! It is 16 hrs one way with only one stop for a sit down meal which is less than...
  7. New Battery Range & Pack Architecture [Announced at Battery Day]

    Maybe, you do - and, I'm sure many do. But, when I'm in a road trip with my sons we stop just long enough to pee - and, not a second longer! Hard to get those electrons when the entire stop last less than five minutes.
  8. New Battery Range & Pack Architecture [Announced at Battery Day]

    Wow! You people up in "snow land" sure have it bad! My personal scale: 40F = F'ing cold - like, don't go outside if you don't have to! 60F = winter wonderland (wear a jacket!) 75F = Room temperature with A/C 70-115F Is nice outside - get outside and play! Hahaha! I'm 52, lived in the...
  9. Air suspension and tire in/deflation from cab

    As an option... OK. As a feature for all trucks - no. Personally, I would not be interested! My Chevy has sensors for the tires. The two front ones are defective (@180k miles) and are $126/each! Screw that! I'll get it and check the air myself for that much! But, now, I'm stuck with the...
