Any such feature would require special hardware and installation on your house side, similar or the same to what you would need for a Powerwall/solar implementation. I understand the appeal of having a backup power solution, but vehicle to home charging is more complex then the vehicle simply...

I doubt the trim you selected for the reservation will actually matter to when you receive the order invite. Some of those trims might not even exist like one motor trim. For the Model 3 it didn't appear to matter at all what trim you indicated on your reservation, they simply sent you an email...

Yes, essentially. If they only have the two-motor to start with and if you get an early invite when that is all they have, then you would have the choice to order it, or to delay your order into the future when other models release. We are not necessarily going to know what those future models...

If we use the previous Tesla Delivery Events and pre-orders as an example, we likely will not know pricing and specs until the Delivery Event itself. During the Delivery Event they will announce basic specs (speed, basic features, number of motors, range) and pricing for the initially...

This would be a very early stage, not the full production where vehicles are coming off the line every minute. These pictures and videos are likely of production line validation, testing, and calibration of the line as they produce an incredibly small amount of vehicles each day/week and work...

Utility - Ability to Haul and Tow - I need a truck for home-improvement and other projects. I don't currently have a truck and it makes it so I can't do so many things I want to do without getting assistance from friends with trucks or renting a vehicle, often leading to me putting off those...

Congrats! If you do see one (or more), and photos are allowed, can you please get a few nice shots of the truck bed and specifically the tonneau cover tracks/grooves and where it goes into the truck. Hopefully they will have one on display, and hopefully it will be a newer prototype and not...

For model 3, production started in July 2017 and first deliveries were in July 2017. For model Y, production started in Jan 2020, and delivery began in March 2020. Most likely we would see a launch more similar to Model Y, imo.

Why is that optimistic? Seems like a realistic timeline based on all other evidence. The design has been finalized. It can be assumed that the final design includes a breakdown of how they will source / manufacture all parts, a plan for how those parts are built, by what equipment, ect...

Existing Superchargers don't need to be, do they? Correct me if I am wrong, but a 900v system would still be able to be charged by existing DC fast chargers without changing them. Porsche Taycan has an 800v system and it can charge at most CCS chargers even if they don't support 800v. I assume...

The Musk quote seems to support Tesla aspiring to keep the costs down, not make an expensive truck, and that doing so is one of the primary design challenges. Musk wouldn't say "creating an expensive truck is relatively easy" if he wanted to jack the prices up and drastically increase...

To be clear, your reservation would only be on the spreadsheet if you put it there. It is not an automated system that pulls information from somewhere, you have to enter your own reservation using the form for it to show up. It is just a form for us end-users to report our reservations and to...

No, that is someone else's registration. You have to register your number. You are the one who does that, it is not pulled from a database. What Tesla sent you is the correct number. You should use that to register it on the site.

I am of the opinion that for the next few years every electric truck produced will find a buyer simply due to the demand for electric trucks. The Rivians, Fords, GMCs, ect will not materially dent the demand for the Cybertruck at launch. Yes, there will be some individuals who had put down...

The weight of the pack with seats and center console is 1198 lbs (543kg). Some additional information was posted on the Reddit thread about this video from an employee at Munro that was interesting and adds some context: Based on this, the pack itself may not be lighter then an equivalent...

I think the most interesting thing about this video (and it is all pretty interesting) is what they said about the weight of the pack being something like 1000 lbs less then many of the competitor packs they are looking at. It sounds like the weight advantage of the 4680 + structural pack...

And you might very well be correct on this. I think it depends on how mature and well scaled 4680 production is at that point, other supply constraints (glass, seats, chips, ect), and how fast they plan to ramp the line. If the battery and motor are not constraints, and the software for the...

This would also line up with the history of the Model 3 program. They first launched with the mid-tier long range RWD vehicles for nearly 3/4 of a year before they expanded to Performance vehicles. The mid-range vehicles used less motors and less battery, which reduces constraints from those...

There probably will be a price increase to account for increased costs. I did a comparison last night of the price different between when I got my 2018 Model 3 LR RWD and the cost of a Model 3 LR AWD today (a somewhat close comparison, though not the exact same vehicle), and the price since...

Yeah, I think they intend to stack the packs for that version, so double the batteries and double the packs they have to supply. I am interested to see how battery production ramps up over the next couple of years and if battery day will shed any more light on batteries for the Cybertruck.
