I know we saw pictures of a CT going through a water ingress test chamber, but I can't remember seeing any posts or quotes that confirmed water proofing. If I take a nap in the vault with it closed, am I getting dripped on? Same question about air tightness, if the vault is closed and there's...

I'm confused by your chart @scottf200 . Why is the Dual AWD R.E. showing up with lower total range than without R.E.? Formula error?

FIFY. Neuralink might be a lot further along than they're releasing publicly ;)

Yep, and your second res number is higher than my lowest one by quite a few too. Unfortunately, @cvalue13 was completely right, "the line" is a myth. Invalidates every argument for the anti-reselling clause right there, if Tesla just picks arbitrarily who they want to sell to first.

Shouldn't that be auto-islanding?

You're not the only one who is not shocked. Prices that they are rolling out at make perfect sense to me considering the capabilities and features of the vehicle. But, they're not what most people wanted, can afford, etc. Also, Tesla chose to make yet another halo product, not the value...

67% pass rate = 33% of people are some flavor of interested . Would love to see the same survey for a Mini, or a convertible, or other slightly unusual form factor vehicle. I bet those would all come in at 50+% not interested rate too. In other words, this isn't really news, but what did you...

The hard partition between cabin and vault is number one reason I'd pass on my CT reservations. If it was a foldable midgate, or as you suggest refactored to be mid size to full size SUV form factor, I'd be way more likely to convert my preorder to full order. Agreed that I don't need my utility...

Use a dumpster with a known quantity of stuff in it to "tip the scales"? Sorry, humor based on a British-ism probably not appreciated here.

IIRC Carmudgeon or it on the scales and it was 6717lbs empty weight IIRC. Does curb weight include a driver?

All of your statements might be true, but do not have to be true simultaneously. For example, if it's really cold enough to ding my range 25-30% (yes that happens up here), I'm not stopping the charge at 90%. In that 1-10 times a year situation, I'll take the extra 0.1% battery degradation when...

The "here's a bottle opener (, now please put us on the top of the Beast delivery list in return)" moment was pricelessly awkward on both their parts. That and the way Musk is able to make "I can't make forward looking statements" sound like a verbal middle finger to the SEC is hilarious. But...

No that pic has been around, but good callback @CyberGus. To weld the doors closed, or not weld the doors closed.... Decisions, decisions ... Kidding of course. I'm way too old for pole vaulting into my car through the window.

It should be this. Really confuse the heck out of the EV hating red state types.

Needs a special edition gold tone wrap color called "prime radiant".

I remember seeing complaints about that on the Rivian forums, before their admins made participating in that forum absolutely unlivable. It's a valid concern. Time will tell. There's tricks like hydrophobic films and such. But the real solution is enough heat to anti-ice that area. No idea if...

815V x 150Ah = 122.3kWh, rounding error away from 123kWh. Since there's no units on those lines of the doc, I'm going with that as my guess.

Keep in mind "looks like a teardrop" and "aerodynamically acts like a teardrop" are not always the same thing. Area rule is not the area law for a reason :)

RV Park with 14-50 should be plan A. Generator running all night should be plan G.

Just cause it has a diaper on the back end doesn't mean it's a baby! :)
