Building BEVs at high volume is no simple task. Keep in mind nobody else has done it yet. Tesla model 3 and Y being the only high volume BEVs in the world. I'm as impatient as the next guy and with reservation #546,000 I'll be waiting for quite a while...

Lol so true, and "mass production" meaning 10k units per year. Same as most other "me too" BEVs.

I am actually very optimistic about production. The factory is going up really fast. Radio silence from Tesla and Elon about CT is not evidence of bad news. I predict 20k CT deliveries this year. I think they will start deliveries by end of October.

I don't think there will be any new prototype iterations. The design is complete, factory tooling has been ordered and is already arriving on site. Tesla is very mysterious about features. I wouldn't be surprised if there are very few additional details provided even at the time of placing...

As a status symbol, Tesla is the new BMW. I think BMW is pinning for the good ole days. I hope they can pull this off but I'm not holding my breath.

They sure don't make em like they used to... Also, the new hummer is WAY too expensive! I'm sure its a beast but that price...

Sure, I would call it a party trick. :unsure:

GM and Ford are brand new to the EV space, and we don't know much about their batteries. Battery tech is king. Range and durability need to be really good. A bad battery can effectively kill a vehicle. Look at old Teslas - a few faulty cells can kill the whole pack and cost of replacement is...

Seems kinda gimmicky... A feature you would try once or twice and basically never use again.

I will occasionally borrow a camping trailer and pull it with my CT. I fully expect to have to disconnect the trailer in order to charge but I don't mind. Besides, where I live there are so few Teslas that it is rare to see a single vehicle charging.

For some reason it looks even better when dirty...

Even an imbecile can see that pre-orders alone will dwarf this idiotic estimate... Even if 90% of pre-orders drop out they'll still crush the estimate by delivering 100k in the first year easily.

I agree, but I might be interested if they offered heat treated SS!

Well that makes sense. I have a feeling Tesla will force all Canadians living in Canada to pay the Tesla Canada prices regardless of factory pickup. Tesla needs to know where you live for warranty and service, and what about FSD software - I assume those features are also tied to your Tesla...

I am surprised at the number of comments saying the CT is function over form. I disagree. Good design has many layers of thought, art, and craftsmanship behind it. There are a million ways the CT could have all the same specs and features and look like a box on wheels. Elon and Franz...

Lol wife acceptance... time to grow a pair.

Interesting design, but not for me. I like how the EV revolution has opened up the possibility of new auto maker startups. A decade ago the idea seemed impossible! That said, we have yet to see any real volume production from anyone except Tesla so maybe the whole industry is vaporware...

Teslas in Canada are very highly marked up compared to US prices. It is a point of frustration for a lot of people who might otherwise be able to get a Tesla. For example: Tesla Model y Long Range = $48,990 USD for Americans, and $69,900 CAD for Canadians. Note that $48,990 USD = $61,715...
