so... he didn't even mention the CT, the article is definitely misleading. I'm not holding my breath, only time will tell.

yeah wow... I just found a 5x10' sheet of vinyl car wrap for $100....

Given the simplicity of the CT shape I'm sure there will be tons of "CT Wrap Kits" for sale I just don't wanna pay Tesla ~$2,000 for something like that (making up numbers there)

I'd argue the true advantage is that you could wrap this car yourself for the cost of material, a squeegee and an exacto knife (probably won't even need a heat gun) The truck is all hard angles and flat panels, this thing will be a breeze to wrap yourself even if you're a novice. No tricky...

Idk if I would call it journalism. He's bringing up valid points, and specifically stating he hopes he is mistaken with his concerns. I think it's pretty clear he's a huge Tesla fan, but at the same time he isn't one of those guys trying to sugar coat everything or overly inflate production...

honestly not a huge fan of this idea... it won't help with production speed, even if the effect is minimal... buy it stock, wrap it later... this is coming from a guy who plans to have his CT wrapped most likely...

would be all for something like this. once FSD comes to full operability, I'll engage it so my car can drive me home from the bar ? for daily driving I will honestly enjoy being in control for most drives.

wouldn't surprise me, we've been hearing about the 8,000 ton press for months now, I'm sure they were building it well before that youtube video from IDRA came out a few weeks ago. I'm not saying I'm 100% sold that those drone images are of the 8T press, but it's certainly possible

the cyberlandr website shows it is $49k... but if you throw a $5k downpayment on it today it will knock $10k off the actual price, that is, assuming it isn't vaporware as mentioned above... I'm in no rush, the amount of aftermarket products that will be built for the CT will likely be staggering

I won't be naïve and say I have no concerns, but I will also point out that given sentry mode and cameras, Teslas will capture vandalism occurring, whereas most all other vehicles don't, so the data is sort of biased on the surface... it's like saying houses with ring doorbells get robbed all...

maybe anyone with M3 pre-order experience can chime in? How early did you get the true configuration and pre-order email from Tesla before taking possession of your M3?

And the M3 requires paint, didn't have a giga-casting, and Tesla was still very much in its infancy in regard to making making vehicles "for the masses". The M3 was the first car that was much more accessible to the average earner in the US, and their first time having to aggressively ramp to...

I wonder... with Ford making 1 Million+ F150's in a given year, how much bigger is their factory? That number seems astounding, especially given that it is built in the more traditional car manufacturing process that Tesla is claiming to be so inefficient both in time and cost? Genuine...

This^^ -- I think there is confusion that Fremont is being somehow used to speed up delivery of the CT, when realistically it's an effort to familiarize personnel with the building process, and maybe iron out some real world kinks in the system before *actual* production begins in Texas. Will...

My guess is the timeline is going to stay the same at best, and this is simply going to help for production ramp as things heat up in late (late) 2021 and then into 2022. I'm happy they are trying to get employees familiarized with the process in an effort to hit the ground running, I just...

Sounds a lot like taxi drivers getting all up in arms because Uber was utterly destroying their overpriced business model... Innovators gonna innovate... car dealerships are letting out their death cry as they see the end is in sight... sorry, you took advantage of people for eons, everyone...

The insurance question is such a moving target, I feel it's almost pointless to speculate. So much of someone's insurance costs come from their provider/age/driving history/location etc. that we will see rates varying to the extremes IMO Overall, I could agree that the "average" - whatever that...

I hope they go public so I can short their stock ?

see this is why I am just a dummy on the internet and not a Tesla engineer... that's pretty cool... from a "less parts = better" standpoint it sorta seems like trading one part for another, also the mechanisms needed for a self-opening door would seem to add more parts to the overall vehicle vs...
