It is likely a handling/trailer sway issue. Understeer with a trailer is how the handling rated and then a trailer can only sway so much. Both of these are counteracted by suspension changes in all trucks, regardless of their setup. Typically it means stiffer suspension, especially with sway...

The Ram is simply stiffer in the rear, sits higher in the rear so when loaded it doesn’t compress too much, and has a solid axle. Tesla absolutely could get a coil springed CT to tow 11k, it would just have compromises. Most notably to ride height and ride quality. Tesla simply chose a softer...

Check the pressures when towing 9k+ or 11k in the bed. You’ll see how high the pressure are to maintain the height.

The CT went through a cell change last fall. The Y is getting them because the production is going well and they feel they can scale the production. Also why they can offer a new CT trim to test the price issue.

Its volume… take a cut on each individual vehicle to make more as a whole with a more utilized line. They are testing out the elasticity in real time and seeing if 60k can get them the volume needed to make it worth it. If it doesn’t, they can fall back to what they have done for a year or so...

My location says Sept-Oct. It’ll vary a bit by delivery logistics. Then if demand is beyond what they thought, it’ll be in how they can replenish the supply of the various different parts. Which is probably the reason for the jump from July to Sept. Lately Tesla hasn’t been maxing out a single...

It’ll vary a bit by surface, how level, etc. but the higher the ride height, the higher the pressures. Just how these types of systems work. Extract will be near 200psi if raised and you hit a bump.

The air pressure will increase with ride height. You can see this in the service mode. Medium will be 6.8 bar in the fronts and 7.3 in the rear. High will be 8.1 in the front and 8.9 in the rear. Low will be 5.9 front and 6.3 rear. These can all be seen in the service mode. I should state this...

It’s the same as the RWD CT stereo. I have no personal experience with that to say. Sure somebody here does.

The CB simply has a lot more weight. That’s why it’s numbers are lower. It is a heavier vehicle, which payload is a total number thing. CB and AWD with AT are rated for the same gvwr… their payload difference is simply the difference in their weights. With AS the CB is rated for 29 pounds more...

The CT will very likely live to AI5, but the odds of it being a priority to upgrade to AI5 are likely very low. AI5 will hit the road in ~16 months and the priority for that rollout will be Robotaxi and Y. Tesla will want the training data and the impact there because those are the models that...

The numbers are vastly difference in the coil spring vs air suspension AWD. Tesla has rated the coil spring version far lower than air suspension version. Like for like there is a big difference per Tesla. IMO Tesla recommends low because the pressures needed to keep the truck level are pretty...

With V14, the speed cap got eliminated. So the switch from V13 to V14 in that timeframe likely would have a portion to do with any change in estimate. If you previously set it to say 80 and it goes 82-85 now, it could be a large impact. Beyond that, it is likely simple variation. You can check...

It can be done... the Lightning, GM EV trucks, and Ram 1500s all use coil springs in various trims. It is simply a compromise of ride quality vs capability. Given how few people tow loads that large, especially with EV trucks, it makes sense to lean towards comfort over capability. I'm sure...

The range estimate is not tied to FSD profile. They don't speak to each other. It is tied to the route taking into account weather and assume you drive the speed limit. Two things... first, the higher the speed, the more any weather variation will impact the range estimate. At 82, if wind is...

When towing heavy loads, the air suspension does a lot of work keeping the truck fairly level and reduce how much the rear sags. If they tuned the suspension for more comfort, it will likely be on the softer side. Which with a lot of tongue weight, would cause the rear to sag quite a bit...

If you looked at the energy app, it should explain why. It is probably wind/temperature/elevation/speed related. I have a stretch I routinely drive that is a ~45-50 mi slight uphill (~1500' elevation gain) the whole way that frequently has a crosswind... and I speed by ~7-8mph. Routinely the...

This is 100% the trim to get, and if I was buying today, this would be my order. Losing the air suspension is the biggest thing, but odds are high this will have a lower failure rate and simply be easier to service. The cut to towing rating has to be with the suspension. Sound system would be...

And Tesla has zero desire for an EREV. So we won’t ever find out from them. I wouldn’t bet on Ram fulfilling all their promises. They’ve canceled or changed the vast majority of their EV or similar plans.

Opening that up to the aftermarket is putting a lot of trust in those companies to engineering things properly. Then if they don't customers make a huge deal on how their battery was destroyed and that Tesla is denying them coverage. There are engineering issues that have to be solved. They...
