On a 35” tire I think even offset it will cross the midline of the truck and block the camera. as for the license plate, I’m pretty sure in PA it’s legal to block the plate with a rear cargo carrier that’s in use but not when not in use. So a bike rack with bikes in it is ok but an empty rack...

I'm sure it's included and maybe it's part of the 20k foundation series. I would prefer it if they put in writing in the formal agreement all of what you are getting since it the lack does give them some leeway to maybe swap things around but I don't have any reason to worry at this point. On...

This is definitely true. When I ordered it over my wife's objections she mentioned that I ordered it in a family text chain and I was pretty roundly made fun of for ordering the ugly truck. Then my father-in-law saw it at the auto show. He's a pretty conservative guy when it comes to style and...

There is definitely something to the notion that people are less likely to tell you to your face that your truck is ugly than to write that online. However, given all the wonderment we see about the truck on sentry mode it's not all that. People are genuinely intrigued by it and that's before...

That seems about right. Given the recent uptick in daily VIN assignments, can you redo your table predicting time to delivering the December and January orders (conservative estimate without further ramp, just at current production rate)? That would be presumably a lot more optimistic than the...

That looks nice but it shouldn't be necessary on a vehicle that comes from the factory with a Class IV hitch.

I understand the concept of torque and lever arms and cantilevered loads. It’s not as though a trailered load can’t put high instantaneous forces on the tongue when you go through a dip or hit a bump. I don’t see how they get to 160 lb limit. I’m hoping it’s just like @PistolPeteCT said and it’s...

While waiting for my truck I have been browsing the owner’s manual now that it is live on Tesla’s site and I noticed this section about carrying hitch mounted accessories: The hitch receiver is designed to support vertical loads up to 160 lb (72 kg). When carrying bicycles, skis, or other items...

I’m failing to understand the criticism of MKBHD in this. He cited a real and significant problem and Elon acknowledged it and said it’s an easy fix and is being addressed at the factory. The rest of the video was really pretty positive and the main negative of the truck he cited was all the...

Given the hardness of the stainless I bet it would take a lot of elbow grease to get a high gloss surface and if you managed it the glare would probably make the truck a hazard on the road both to you and others. I would think it could be achieved, though, if someone really wanted to.

I like it, but it will be the only Tesla logs on the whole truck. Maybe do ones with the triangle CT logo, that would be sweet!

I hope they make FSD/autopilot on CT utilize the side view cameras more than rear view, just like a human driver has to given the blocked rear view. Then it won’t matter if you have a rack or trailer there. Given that, I hope there is a way in a future release to just display the two side view...

Funny, I have also started a first ride playlist, leaning heavily towards belter ballads but how could I start with anything other than Fast Car by Tracy Chapman (with the Luke Combs version also making an appearance further down the playlist). I may need to figure out a long drive home. I keep...

Excited to see what you all do with the CT. Is there any hope of squeezing a front winch into that front bumper or, of not, adding a front hitch receiver (normally hidden behind an aero cover) and wiring harness that someone could drop a winch into when needed? The latter would probably be the...

I actually went the opposite direction and recently changed my order from AWD to beast. I initially ordered the AWD largely because of FOMO and the hope that I could get one early in production just as the ramp was happening. Clearly that hasn’t happened and no reason to think I’d get a VIN let...

That’s awesome, thanks for doing that! :)

Awesome, thanks for that. I had downloaded the manual but didn’t browse through it yet. Will definitely want to be familiar with how to get in there and pop it open before locking myself in there.

I absolutely love the lexan hinged insert idea. I am still waiting on my truck but unless there is an interior tailgate release that no one has mentioned, I’d be insanely nervous locking myself in the vault knowing that either phone or truck battery could die. A hinging panel that could be...

I think the side walls of the bed are angled and my guess is they made all the bins the same to match the bed wall angle. If they had designed the three so the middle one was bigger you’d have more space but couldn’t nest them or swap them around. I think the wasted space is probably worth the...

at 2 am…and especially when that concrete wall is a decent distance off the road. I’d bet it was alcohol AND something else. Maybe the valet story was just to buy the owner enough time to sober up before talking to the police.
