I know this was a LONG time ago, but the onstage screen had a picture of an open sail cover. Things could obviously have changed a lot since then, but this was at least a Tesla notion at one point. In this pic it appears that only the outward facing panel moves. This design would allow mounting...

To each their own. While my CT with street tires may look lame to you, you tire mileage will look very lame to me ?

I thought I read a comment from someone attending who said those two attachments were strictly for moving the prototype around, I think he said it didn't have a usable drivetrain (or something to that effect). Point to consider - my memory has reached a point beyond peak performance, now on the...

I just had a HORRIBLE thought. I am slightly afraid that someone at Tesla will read this and say "what a great idea". I hope not, but..... What if they opt for most money to start with? And by extension go for FSD orders at max price, so those with $15K FSD move to the front of the line...

What are you talking about with the wheel wells? They are rounded at the top. If you account for that, using the shiny bits as the mark, you will find this line parallel to the rear roofline. It seems to me this is a version of the actual cast parts. There is so much detail here that would not...

Speaking of range, if the Semi has somewhere between 1.7 and 1.9 wh/mile, fully loaded (around 81,000 pounds).... what efficiency could possibly be in store for the CT? So.. considerations for aerodynamic efficiency, actual voltage for power train (not charging voltage), tires, battery size and...

It didn't say electronic parts. It said "electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof". I can certainly believe that could be the press, especially given departure and arrival ports, and Elon confirmed. Doubt if you wish, I choose to feed this glimmer of hope.

I believe you meant to say eliminating, not illuminating.

Oh, and one more thing, when Elon said the CT body, I think he might be texting/talking about the exoskeleton. Now I have no idea if that would be aluminum or not. Perhaps a metallurgist can inform us of what material could be used. Although it would not be cold rolled. Hmmm.

I'm no expert, but isn't 9000 ton (2,000) equal to 18 million pounds, or 25 times 700.000? Just asking the question.

I still want a full size spare. I'm hoping the under bed location, accessible from the bed. Yes it will be slightly inconvenient, but a little planning can go a long way. If you know the bed will be filled, perhaps stow the tire for this particular trip in the frank (space allowing), or in the...

Thanx so much Crissa. It does look more like a recruitment, more of a conceptual design than something to be built. As always, I really appreciate your very considered input on this site. Thanx, Paul

So where does one go to find out more about the competition (or at least get an English translation of the screenshots? Before beginning the design it might be nice to know the specifications of the CyberQuad. Without that they pretty much have the design - it will use 2170s. Everything else...

I always assumed the tri-motor had two rear motors, so that shouldn't be a huge problem for the quad if they do actually offer a full size spare. The Rivian looks like it has a full spare accessible from the bed. Maybe that will instigate Elon to match it? Hopefully.

There appears to be a very large hole in the survey... those selling some shares < half the cost of the CT. From reading the posts so far, that would be a fairly significant category :) I initially invested in Tesla to help pay for the CT. Then over time I realized the potential value and...

I agree .... pretty crappy English in the last sentence. "Please replied", with no punctuation between obvious sentences.

Perhaps I am missing something on all these magnetic designs. My question is how will you actually get a magnetic solution to actually move the wiper blade. Remember it is magnetically attached from the outside to the inside of the windshield with enough force to prevent blowing off, falling off...

It appears to me that the original prototype has a dip in the flat space where it meets the windshield, the flat space being between the forwardmost edge of the dash stretching to the windshield. This new version seems to have a trough, no longer a flat space, that also has a dip where it meets...

One of these days I will remember to read every word, sometimes that autocorrect.... actually does correct ?
