Am I the only one who feels like this person is not supposed to be in the vehicle? How he is touching stuff and the backpack makes me think he is not an employee or someone authorized to be in it.
Interesting video though, still trying to digest it.
This was my first thought as well, but taking a few more views of the pictures I realized there is a high probability they opened the doors to get inside the vehicle after the crash test. They probably need to open the doors for a variety of reasons after a test. Also, them moving it might...
Not a huge fan of this sort of video. I personally see their videos as an extension of their business, and as advertising for their business. If it doesn't make financial sense to tear down a vehicle on the business side they shouldn't do it.
I would assume the costs of breaking down a video...
Probably 35 MPH if this is for NHTSA testing.
Between 30 MPH to 40 MPH if testing against what the IIHS tests for.
My understanding is these are the required test speeds for various front test types:
NHTSA Testing
Front Crash Tests - 35 mph
IIHS Testing
Front Overlap Tests - 40 mph

This is not true or is poorly phrased.
Its about your tax liability, not how much you get back because you over pay (ie, your Refund). It works similar to the tax credit I claimed back in 2018. It just cannot exceed the amount of taxes you actually owe to the government. How much of a...
We don't know what they will release with first. We have seen signs of Dual Motors being tested, but there is speculation that tri motors are also being tested.
They could release both a Dual Motor and a Tri motor to start with in a mix, or one or the other. We really have no way of knowing...
That is a really stupid article. Some commenter on some blog page said they tore down an early Model X and claims that all Tesla's are bad products and customers who buy them are stupid. And from that the author of the article concludes that the Cybertruck is going to be a bad product. I do...
I did! Though I think there are some in this thread with lower reservations numbers then me, like Tokyov.
It all depends on pricing, availability, and specs. If there is a tri at near announcement pricing of $69,990 then I would pull the trigger on it. That said, dual motor is sufficient for my...
Interesting. I wonder if there is a pattern between those who no longer see this and those who still see it.
I no longer see my Design on the reservation page. There are two differences between us, we have reserved different models and we have different places in line.
My Reservation:
Dual...
Yes, it was definitely there last week and now it is gone on my page. They are obviously making some changes in their system, though its difficult to say if it means much.
As Crissa said, it was always more of a survey then locking you into a specific model anyways.
The CT is not a Tesla Halo vehicle like the X and S, it's a mid range vehicle more inline with the 3 and Y, as evidenced by what we have seen of its interior (not to mention announcement pricing placing it in the Y price range).
For the same reason it likely wont have auto presenting doors, and...
I doubt its sensify, as cool as that sounds. I don't think Brembo is planning for Sensify to come to market until end of 2024.
My guess is that is an automatic tire inflater, which Tesla has a patent for.
US20180297423 - AUTOMATIC TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM WITH THRU-HUB AIR FEED
These are much larger tires then those on a sedan like a Model 3, so this is about what I was expecting.
Larger tires just cost more in general.
Here is an image to show the tire size difference between these tires and those found on a Tesla Model 3.
I do see some tires for as cheap as $217...
They already have a system that works. When order invites go out, you will be asked to configure and put down a non-refundable deposit ($2500 most likely, like with other Tesla's in this price range). They are not going to want to complicate things and piss off their customers. Your...
