Recently, my car was totaled. I really loved that thing but I couldn’t justify shelling out the money for body work when I already was anticipating some major repairs in the drive train. So I ended up selling it to a mechanic who loves doing that kind of work in his spare time. Problem is, I...

Might not have been the first. Electric vehicles existed in the late 1800s/ early 1900s before ICE vehicles dominated.

Id love to see a giant roadtrip van for the entire family and a few friends. A Tesla version of an E350….with a 1000 mile range.

So, even with the 4860 cells, you don’t think they will charge faster than 1C? That would mean that the only reason why you get more MPH with a CT than another Tesla would be because it has a larger battery pack. Charging at more than 1C with currently available cells can lead to cell...

Hold onto your reservation until we get closer to production. Given Tesla’s history, even early reservations could see a delay till 2023 or 2024, especially if they run into complications producing the new battery cells. You’d be kicking yourself big time if, by the time they start getting...

I wouldnt pay extra for a better 0-60 time either. Range is king, I just wanna do long road trips. However, I won’t complain if the tri motor time is better than 2.9 seconds. I am an adrenaline junkie, I like feeling the gees. And yes, they call the tri motor power train “plaid”

Acceleration is limited by max battery output. Cybertruck has an advantage over the S Plaid, as it will have the 4860 cells. Sure, it may not be able to go 1.9s 0-60 but, depending on battery output, getting to 2.4 seconds 0-60 is well within the realm of possibility. In other words, the...

I mean, this is how they currently do it, I see no reason why they would change it for CT.

Raising taxes on the rich does absolutely nothing, as the rich are most likely to be able to protect their assets from taxes. Largely because, with the introduction of the income tax, taxes on many other investment types were drastically lowered. A decent accountant is very affordable to the...

Guys, I know where y'all are coming from. But hear me out on this: All previous Tesla models have/had ordering pages like this: Single Motor RWD -Standard -Long Range Dual Motor AWD: -Long Range -Performance With the introduction of Plaid, Model S and X no longer have the two Dual Motor...

I’m sure the acceleration is limited in trailer mode, haha. Folks forget the F150 Raptor and other performance trucks. They exist, and its not far outside the realm of possibility for Tesla to do the same. The 2.9 second 0-60 is a by product of its all electric 3 motor design, and they...

CT will be delayed until 4680 cells are ready. They won’t make it without them. Model S Plaid + was supposed to use the 4680 and the fact that it was cancelled does not bode well. I and many others suspect that it was cancelled because they are still having issues producing quality 4680 cells...

Plaid would be a step above Tri. I’m saving up for a Tri but if they beat the odds (Me, way way down the list, getting delivery in 2022 or 2023) might mean I don’t have enough saved up to get a Tri.

I hope they don’t make a plaid because as it is I am probably going to have to downgrade my reservation to a dual motor. I definitely won’t be able to afford a plaid, if they make one.

You’d need to tie down your loads even for a 2.9s 0-60

I think its inevitable that a high performance package of some sort will be offered, probably starting at around $100,000. No idea what the specs may be...but 0-60 would probably be at least a half a second faster and perhaps ~185-200 mph top speed. Thoughts?

My ford focus from 2014 has horrible panel gap issues

A quick youtube video search gave me a bunch of angles. I guess I was mixed up by the patent drawing.

Good catch, I should go back and watch that EDIT: I did, the rear window could have a sliding panel set up like a lot of legacy trucks have, but I was more talking about the metal section the track is housed in. Seems like it stops just as it clears the window. Still, I get your point. Fully...

A pass through with the tonneau fully deployed would work. Thing is, it doesn’t look like its designed to be a conveyor type mechanism. It looks like it has linked rollers that move in a channel, and the design seems to suggest that there are some slats that never see the light of day, but stay...
