I think most serious race cars use straight-cut gears. This video demonstrates the sound of straight-cut gears really well: Straight Cut Gears (youtube.com)

Could it be gear whine from the reduction gears? Maybe they're straight-cut gears vs. traditional helical-cut. Straight cut is more efficient, cheaper and lighter to build and house, and typically stonger, but noisier. The only down side to straight cut is the noise. Cheaper, lighter and more...

I love that the power icon in the app is a hexagon though, as are the features of the dog mode paw print. :)

This will be my 7th truck, two mid-size and four full-size truck previously.

There are a few factors: 1) No minor scratch and dent worries 2) Efficiency -- Arguably the most efficient EV truck available 3) Tesla charging network 4) Familiar minimalistic controls 5) Truck things, such as hauling large or dirty items in the bed.

...and then report back so the rest of us know too. :D

How about a mirror finish? Hopefully no one does this, but it would be neat to see. ?

The wheels seem pretty flat-surfaced anyway, so I doubt there's a whole lot of gain in efficiency when using the covers.

Nightmare? Seriously? In what reality does waiting a few weeks for replacement wheel covers constitute a nightmare?

My initial guess would be 40%. We frequent an 8-mile long steep hill. It takes 5% to ascend and we regen 2% on the way down.

I agree. My ‘23 MYP is averaging 83% of rated during its first 6,000 miles.

The only thing that might benefit from some sort of break-in procedure are the brakes. I've never worried about doing it though and have had no issues with longevity or braking effectiveness.

It's OK, not everyone can be good at math and physics. :D I know you're joking. If not, just play along.

A bit of time and experimentation with a 3D printer should provide an acceptable solution to the holes.

Thanks for the chart. Would this seem to indicate that the dual-motor will be rear-wheel-drive while the trI-motor will be front-wheel-drive under light-load highway conditions?

Exactly! And you won't get 90% of FMV on a trade-in because wholesale prices are WAY less than 90% of FMV. I would guess that wholesale is roughly 60% of FMV.

If you have data points showing that Tesla's wholesale prices are within 10% of FMV prices, I'd love to see them. Wholesale and Resale values are never within 10% of eachother in my experience.

And my data proves that Tesla offers roughly 40% of FMV. I have 3 data points proving it. You may have data points that prove Tesla doesn't always lowball that much, but they most certainly do offer 40% of FMV at least part of the time (100% of the time in my case).

Where did I say "all Tesla Trade offers" are 40% below FMV?

I'm not saying 40% below FMV either. I'm saying 60% below. Tesla pays between 39 and 42% of FMB 100% of the time in my experience consisting of 3 data points. !00% fact and true information you cannot disprove.
