    Child car seats test! Fits up to 3 across (with 2 rear facing infant)

    Well, I’ll be! You’re right I thought that since my Model 3 had 3 anchors Ys would too. I stand corrected. ?

    Child car seats test! Fits up to 3 across (with 2 rear facing infant)

    All Teslas have 3 anchors across the back bench, but as I showed, only one in the center, or two on each side are safe to use at once.

    Child car seats test! Fits up to 3 across (with 2 rear facing infant)

    I'd like to see the CyberTruck owner's manual on this. Other Tesla models have had room for three child safety seats(CSS), and have provisions for having a CSS installed in the middle, but are not approved for three.

    CT does or does not qualify for the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit as of 1/1/24?

    Woodrick seems to be referencing the tax liability portion of the credit qualification, while Old Pro is asking about the income limit portion. Woodrick is under the impression that, since the credit is "non-refundable" that you have to have at least $7500 of tax liability to take the credit at...

    4680 cell improvements by 10-20%

    But, the majority of what Jordan was talking about regarding the chemistry change and the PDO additive was how it increases cycle life. The patents he was talking about were about how to save cost and time in the production of the PDO. The physical change to the jellyroll was an asymmetric...

    AC charging limits

    The "Mobile Connector" you're referring to isn't an AC to DC converter. it's merely an AC charging cord with a little logic capability attached. The "Charger" Crissa is talking about is a component permanently installed on the vehicle in the doghouse above your battery. The old, optional Dual...

    4680 cell improvements by 10-20%

    Rob Mauer, channeling The Limiting Factor, indicated there was some confusion as to whether the 10-20% increase was cell density? or production rate? Big difference.

    Hey... Go easy on Christian. He's been a member of the forum for NEARLY A WHOLE MONTH!!! There's a lot to take in in that short of time. Us old heads know how shrill commenters can be early on, but we also know that they'll either calm down or fade away in short order. Let Christian enjoy his...

    Day one reservation holders?

    Not me! Sure "most people who can afford $100k..." include every billionaire and multi-millionaire on the planet, but there's a LOT of prudent blue-collar workers like myself who can afford an $80k vehicle but chafe at the thought that a ~$1000 wheel option ends up costing me an extra $7500...

    Getting the trailer moving isn't what limits tow rating. It's getting the trailer to stop and maneuver safely tests that set the towing specs.

    AC charging limits

    Seeing Tesla lead the way in transitioning vehicle to adopt a 48V architecture, I wonder if they'll ever try to transition our home power from AC to DC? With solar panels and battery storage/back-up becoming more common there may someday be an opportunity to ditch the inefficiency of inverting...

    Lockers confirmed but not yet available! "Locking Differential Controls Coming Soon"

    Yes, you can do damage to a vehicle when you lock the differentials. If you use them in conditions where the tires need to turn at different speeds (ex. in a turn) but cannot readily slip, the axles, gears, hubs, etc. will be subjected to huge forces (if the wheels CANNOT slip, something WILL...

    Wh/mile efficiency reported on the highway (heat on, 30°F, 85 mph)

    Bjørn Nyland tested a Model X a few years ago and found that driving between 93-106 mph (150-170 kph) was the quickest way to cover the greatest distance, taking into account charging stops. He thought 93 was the best speed because Tesla's cruise control will still work at that speed.
