There are several functions of the 12V, and there were recently pictures from China built Model Y’s with a new integrated lithium 12V battery into the vehicle. I may not be understanding your question fully, but if you leave your CT unplugged, you will have what most refer to as “vampire...

Tesla has not yet developed steer by wire, they use traditional linkage and hardware. They also leverage servo for the autopilot function. Brakes are hydraulic, as usual.

I’m genuinely curious in each of these scenarios, whether or not Autopilot was actually engaged, and how it’s verified after the fact. I do wonder how many people have gotten comfortable driving their Tesla in true Autopilot mode, that they may only use TACC, and wrongfully ignore they aren’t...

They have a covered carrier they’ve transported and unloaded it from. I tried posting a video of it but it was taken down because it was an “old video”. Not sure the limitations around here on what video you can post, but it was from when it was being displayed at the Peterson exhibit..so..not...

As said previously, the availability of scale on the 4680 cells is likely a factor. The biggest design change we’ve heard about to date, that would require much more than just a functional layout change, would be the late mentioned 4 wheel steering. Not only do they need to make sure the rear...

I have owned my Model 3 for 2.5 years, and originally kept my Mazda 3 as I figured I would drive that as a backup, to keep miles low (I drive a lot). After the first year I sold the Mazda because I had no interest in driving it over my Model 3. I loved the Mazda 3, the Model 3 was just more...

I understand the need for keeping shareholders satiated, and understanding general market interest in your product before you invest in production. That being said, I hope the market shift to BEV’s reduces the need for these folks to use preorders as a justification/gauge for production...

I can understand if you have a sensitivity to light, or the distractions cause by a “strobe effect”. In my two and a half years of ownership with my Model 3, I often forget the roof is glass. The tint is darker than I imagined when I first saw the photos compared to real life, and have not...

This may change with the CT, but I have used my frunk a total of 5 times, and only one of them was out of necessity. It’s not as convenient when you’re pulling front end into spaces, or your garage to then fetch something out of the frunk. Obviously I get the “job site”, or parking outdoors...

I didn’t, however, I am a current Model 3 owner, so they won’t have any benefit in hitting me up to purchase another one haha. I did consider upgrading the 3 to the Y instead of the CT, but the CT is adding significant functionality for me over what a Y could offer.

Worth noting start of production could be 1 truck by 12/31. I for one fully expect we see actual “volume” production in Q1. I was an optimist thinking they’d beat timeframes (last year’s optimism). I now don’t expect to see my CT before March of 2022. I’m about 8500 “in line”.

@OneLapper thanks for sharing these! Jealous! I can’t even imagine what this thing really looks like in person. I only imagine what it’s going to be like driving one around. My buddy told me to plan an extra 30 minutes if going to a store. He figures we’ll be stopped talking to someone...

I’ve found on my Model 3 in subzero temps to get roughly 40% worse efficiency at the worst. Typically I’ll see 20% on anything 20°F and above. Obviously there are a lot of factors too. You mash the pedal (easy to do in a Tesla), your efficiency reduces. I often run my temp between 68 and 70...

Welcome to the MN thread! Welcome to the MN club! Great to have another one of us to see driving around in the future! Cannot wait to see you driving around somewhere. Hopefully we’ll pass each other on 62, 94, 35, or anywhere in the cities! I’ll have to look at the local group. I’ve been...

My advice, don’t try to make something work out. Get the electrical addressed now, plan for a 60amp circuit, and be able to use your home and charge your car with confidence. One perk of having an EV is being able to stop going other places to “fill up”, and starting every day certain you’ve...

I think Elon suggested they’d consider a pass through. As folks have asked him with exactly what you mentioned in mind. Which admittedly doesn’t mean much. I’m interested to see what pans out. Im sure if they don’t, we all won’t really mind anyway, because we’ll be pleased to even have it in...

I wouldn’t expect the manual available until first vehicles get delivered. Typically it’s tied directly to your online account, and available through the touchscreen in the vehicle. Until they truly finish the final product, they’ll likely spin up the manual a month before launch.

I was contacted last month about it being available in my region. Just outside the twin cities in MN.

Some things to keep in mind: You will want to max charge to 90% daily. Typically anything 70-90% is recommended. You’ll start off by warming up your vehicle 20-30 min before you leave for the site, which will help condition your cabin, and the battery pack. If it’s like the Model 3 and Model...

Here’s how it will likely break down. If you reserved your truck at the $7K, and don’t touch your reservation (any changes in config), you will continue to get the $7K. If you decide to edit the design, yourdesign is then subject to a cost raises in FSD, regardless of your initial reservation...
