Funny thing is, owners who don't quite understand range will still come back to bitch about Tesla AND Edmund's, when they don't see these results in some random drive
Because (shocking!) Edmonds does this test to roughly replicate the EPA-like range conditions:
"Our test targets an average...
Yes, if by VIN, that number would include 130 ārestā vehicles (110MCs and 20 showroom units), but would not include the VIN gaps remaining for Cyberbeasts (conceivably 300 or more).
Folks need to remember that, where it comes to VIN numbers, there are essentially two different vehicle streams...
Longtime members know I hate the 2019 F150 tug-of-war stunt, because it only impresses people who donāt understand towing/pulling - which comes down to the relative weight and traction of the other vehicle.
But, Iāve been surprised to not yet see recreations of that stunt, either from Tesla or...
this already strange saga only getting more strange, e.g.:
fanboi: āstainless panels mean that *real* trucks wonāt get scratches, dents, or look messy, and wonāt need fussy maintenance like paint doesā
my grandfather: āsince when did *real* truck people care so much about all that?ā
fanboi...
Where all these RE questions and curiosities are concerned:
Possible the range extender concept was an 11th hour bandaid addition to the delivery event/website launch.
Anyone seen an IRL photo?
Did Tesla have a proto at the delivery event, like the tent protos or other accessories?
There...
I think people considering PPF are aware that things can buff out
The concerns instead I think are about too frequently - for their aesthetic tastes - needing to buff out the stainless against staining/fingerprints/scratches
Just like I know my expensive stainless kitchen pans *could*...
letās assume there are equal numbers, proportionately, of employee/VIP orders for AWD/Beasts - and the overall percentage of AWD to Beast orders is 60/40.
For the first non-employee AWD deliveries, It was over 2 months from delivery event.
meanwhile, Teslaās been producing 1 beast for every 9...
āFoundationā series?
more like āFoundissueā series, ammirite?
kidding aside, wiper, aero caps, transport/delivery prep procedures (bc rail dust) are all the earliest gremlins to be uncovered bc theyāre the easiest things for reg folks to notice, on the surface and visual.
For same reasons...
because of the sensors/cameras behind the windshield, these vehicles have to have glass with excellent optical qualities - somewhere between a ānormalā windshield and a camera lens
I donāt know whether products like rainX or clay bars could actually effect the optics/sensors, or if Tesla legal...
I know that some of the early proto parts were getting essentially hand spray can coatings, awaiting/before manu process coatings.
Rocker panels, etc.
Canāt say for sure thatās whatās going on with the tow hook, but would make sense

Since 2019, NHTSA requires all major automakers and motorcycle manufacturers to provide consumers with online access to recall information on vehicles searchable by VIN. This information must be updated at least weekly.
been discussing for some time that I believe these FS trucks are from a...
for whatever reason, Tesla's recall website is still absent any information about any cybertruck
was merely strange when it went offline, it's now increasingly bizarre it's been offline this long
@Jhodgesatmb
they started producing trucks for sale (including the delivery event vehicles) about 7 days before the deliver event, or 12 weeks ago yesterday
As of ~last week, theyād produced no more than ~2,000 trucks total in the proceeding 11 weeks
For this 12th week, if your guess of...
no Iām not
Iām saying I suspect buyers are saying theyāre not satisfied for a mixture of various reasons, each unclear in their relative magnitude, and among the reasons appear to be several that possibly reflect more on the buyers than the dealerships.
that is a very different point than the...
oh no doubt people like buying online!
itās why, for example, Ford has just forced 1/2 of its dealers to get onboard with a hybrid Tesla model or get out of the way
Iām not sure what backing youād like for which points. Like you said, it was very long
Hereās a start at one suspected aspect...
