I probably contributed to that. We won't see a full double stack. Maybe some remote areas. Under the dash area or maybe the under the back seat if they do make a 500 mile version.

I think you are about right. I plan to take advantage of a $100 dip. I have played the dip a couple of times, but not to the extent that I plan to. I am no selling my pre 2018 holdings though. I am probably affecting the market right now and should shut up. :)

Thank God there isn't a 11/31 so we don't have to worry :)

I don't think it is about battery supply. It is about pack configuration (single stack), energy density. and lowest manufacturing cost. I am guessing that there will be a single size pack with around 350 to 400 (street tire option) miles of range. Greater ranges will only come with...

150 live chickens. 1500 dead ones.

Long range model looses the under seat storage. That is my WAG. There is something big here that they are hiding. What else haven't they revealed?

Some long guns, golf clubs, groceries, small cooler, small tool box or tool bags. It is big enough to be very useful. Do I wish it where larger sure. I just wish there was some side storage in the bed for dirty straps, a pair of vice grips etc. The underbed storage is not very...

Thanks JBee. My WAG was pretty close. My VW has 1mm skin which I can flex when I push on it (door skins etc.). I always like to split the difference so 2 mm sounds good to me. The casting system that allows for 3500 lb payload without a flex joint is efficient but could probably be...

Unfortunately this is what I see happening. TSLA is in for a ride. Note Elon backed production down for 250 to 200 k. I think that is foretelling.

An extra 500 - 800 lbs makes a difference off roading. Ask the Hummer driver that totalled their rig going over a bump.

2 mm would be very strong yet 30% lighter. IDK 250 lbs for bragging rights . Just guessing.

We think there is around 2 million total reservations, but didn't Elon say over 1 million. I think they have already filtered out many of the duplicates and who they think will drop out. 1 million is still a big number. Some people might not cancel their reservations, but pass on the...

What ever you call it, 6000-7000 is heavy for a daily driver. Most users will not need the payload capacity or bullet resistance or 500 miles range yet we are all paying a weight penalty every day. This hurts off road performance, total efficiency and tire costs. (5) 200 lbs men plus...

I understand perfectly. Light racks. Tire variation, roof racks etc might be.a couple hundred pounds all together. The spread is mostly batteries.

We won't see them until the delivery event. They will continue with the slow release hype build up.

The extra motor is only 150# or so. Batteries are probably 8.5# per kWhr at the pack level. So 745 extra for the Tri motor. WAG

That doesn't make sense. How do you accelerate if your one pedal is always your brake.? One pedal implies accelerating and decelerating from one pedal. With the brake pedal being used when your need for braking exceeds the regen braking. It is very easy in my M3 and smooth. At least I...

I suspect you guys are talking the same thing. I try to avoid using the brake pedal at all. So "one pedal driving"? (except a couple intentional hard stops a week to keep the brakes from fouling) Besides the hypermiling I want to return my lease with enough tread to avoid buying the...

There was a good article about hot climates being harder on batteries. Deduct another 2-3% if you are from Phoenix. 2023 M3 2.22% loss in 8 months and 13,000 miles. LFP entirely level 2.

I think some models have batteries under the seat. You could fit another 40 Kwhr under there and keep the single stack everywhere else. Just a guess.
