Bruv, they’re completely comparable. Do you think that 50% of the CT buyers or potential buyers were all in line for the looks? I’m here for performance, tech and engineering. They should give me a discount for the looks, lol. The truck is clearly polarizing on the design, I’m messing around, I...

I think you’re referring to the weight on the steering wheel. Blue cruise is fully hands free in places where it’s available. Lane centering and adaptive cruise is available nearly everywhere else where the lanes are marked, but requires a hand on the wheel. However, I hold the wheel from the...

Okay, you're dragging me into this. Just because there's gas stations at every other exit doesn't mean that I want to stop at every other exit. They didn't outfit gas cars with 5 gallon tanks because the average person drives less than a 100 miles, and there's enough gas stations to cover...

I'm going to ignore use case, and range need as there's plenty of other discussions for that. I know bc I'm heavily involved in those ?. Focusing specifically on ability to do the swap, whether cost is prohibitive, potential value if possible, or possibility of doing this. Because it's going in...

My question is; could the extender technically be removed and sold independently of the truck to another buyer? I'm a cost guy. I'm always thinking about dollars; resale, residual, markets, supply/demand, etc. As I started leaning towards the Silverado RST I was kindly reminded by a WSJ...

Discounts. Same way I got my brand new Lightning Lariat extended range for about $62k last December. Got my CT invite, but no tax credit and lacking the range I need. Point is that the car market is soft as it is, just reiterating what the other poster said about the market for expensive trucks...

When was the last time you checked pricing? There’s sales everywhere. MSRP for the regular raptor is about $80k and readily available, unless you want the Raptor R, but you rarely see those. Lightning is about $85k top trim. ICE is having massive sales. Fully loaded GMC Denali 1500’s for low...

I wish we'd get better data on the extender. That would help with the decision making.

Gotcha, have they provided any estimates on when those will be implemented so that the CT becomes eligible? Different tools for different folks. For example, I have a cargo trailer for the really heavy stuff. As long as I can comfortably tow 10k, I'm good. I don't need to load a pallet of...

I think that's going to be a big problem for Tesla. Frankly I'm surprised they didn't do something to address this early on. Literally every manufacturer has made it a point to make their mid-trim trucks eligible for it. Technically the CT is now is $7,500 more than its equivalent competition...

I still don’t understand why FSD package is necessary if you can just pay monthly. Isn’t it like $100/mo? It’d take about six years to break even.

It’s a Catch-22 though. If history is any indicator, there is a tendency to overpromise and under deliver on dates. So if they’re already slipping on dates, then it doesn’t seem like a practical idea to hand them $2000 for a product that doesn’t have a firm delivery date. I’m not sure it’s going...

Not from the looks of it. Apparently you have to go ahead and put down the $250 nonrefundable deposit go through the ordering process and the week before they will discuss it. At least that’s what I took from it.

I just got my invite, and the range extender expected date slipped from early 2025 to mid 2025. I'm going to mentally note the range extender is unlikely to be widely available for the CT until 2026. I'll make my final decision this week on the CT, but this new info sort of makes my question a...

Whoa! Just got my invite a minute ago, RN 1143! I thought I had a few weeks, I guess it's time to decide. Waiting on accountant to get back to me with the commercial tax credit recommendation in a few days, and making the final call between CT and Silverado EV. How do I get the trade-in amount...

Agree, mostly it takes the guess work out of things, which is where peace of mind comes in. My AirBnB last month had a regular 120v outlet and it was enough to cover my daily driving on this project using my Tesla mobile charger, but at my new one they didn't let me charge. On one drilling...

I had personalized Texas Oil and Gas plates on my Lighting. They will be going on the CT if I pull the trigger when my number comes up. We all got a kick out of it. ? The ironic plates may be funnier to us in the industry though.

Yes, 2023 Lighting Extended Range, it just got replaced by Ford with the Hybrid, but already missing the EV driving experience. I have a 20' enclosed cargo trailer that on occasionally I tow up to 900 miles. More importantly I sometimes end up in rural areas for months at either a AirBnB or...

Anyone have any substantiated ideas on this. I'm likely to buy an extender if I follow through on the CT, but don't want to tie up deposit money. I'm assuming not placing the deposit just means that you have to wait until the deposit holders get theirs. If it's anything like the FS roll out...

I was wondering if retractable running boards would ever come out for the CT.
