    How much is FSD worth on a CT?

    I'd put the value of FSD at the same value Tesla places on it at trade in. $3,900*. There isn't any depreciation of constantly updated software (it doesn't wear down or get old) so Tesla should add it's full value to cars with it vs. cars without, but they don't. I've had FSD beta for years...

    The Best/Worst Has happened

    I have enough cash to get it, but I didn't GET that much cash by impatiently overpaying by 25% for stuff I wanted.

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

    Gasoline has 33,700 Wh of thermal energy per gallon, but only 12-30% of that is available as motive energy. So trucks and SUVs only reap ~ 4 kWh/gallon and highly efficient small hybrids manage 10 kWh/gallon. The rest is wasted as heat and pollution.

    Let me know if they brew an IPA >75 IBUs and <6% alcohol.

    The Best/Worst Has happened

    I got my Foundation Series invite on Dec. 19th and the configurator is still active for me. I'm not pulling the trigger until the tax credit is available.

    The Best/Worst Has happened

    I'm turning the tables on Tesla by stringing them along for a while. I open the configurator, change an option or two, click the "Continue to Payment" button, then ghost them. ? That page sits open in a tab for a few days until I close it out, then reconfigure again... ad infinitum* *until it...

    First Cybertruck crash accident -- head on collision w/ Toyota Corolla

    Police officers write their reports defensively. Whenever they imagine a question that they may be asked on the witness stand, they document that point in their written report. Attorneys are notorious for taking anything you remember but didn't write down as unreliable, at best, a malicious lie...

    Got email for Powershare installation

    It might be limited by the zip code you want it installed in.

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

    And uses ~2000 Wh/mile @ 85mph. ? Unless the "pulls into nearly every station easily" you're referencing the problem of SuperCharging while towing a trailer, a F-150 would be using upwards of 3500 Wh/mile.

    Size of CT onboard charger?

    Well, you did say: ... without any qualifiers. ?? But you're right that the most powerful Tesla Wall Connector available from the Tesla store today tops out at 48A.

    Size of CT onboard charger?

    Mine's a Gen 1 connector. It has dip switches that allow it to deliver 80A from a 100A breaker. It's from the days of the early Model S that had the option for dual on-baord chargers. They would take 80A. I suppose Tesla learned an expensive lesson about that, because they scrapped that charging...

    First Cybertruck crash accident -- head on collision w/ Toyota Corolla

    $TSLA stock is reacting poorly to the news that people can crash into a CyberTruck without being killed. Elon told us that the CyberTruck would WIN in any collision. How can you consider it a win if your opponent survived?!? ? -*Rutrow *that's not an em dash

    Cyberbeast vs Cybertruck AWD Comparison

    ? If it was a lemon you'd try to sell it to somebody else?!? If it IS a lemon, lemon laws will apply and Tesla will HAVE to buy it back from you.* *I'm trying to eliminate the CONS for you.

    Frunk Auxiliary Power Tap / Power Feed Specs (48V and 400W)

    I would think that Tesla has prewired this tap for some specific accessory they have in the works. Let's all just speculate what that will be. My guess... ?

    First Cybertruck crash accident -- head on collision w/ Toyota Corolla

    Now I'm* worried about the wheel arch trim. ? *I was one of those worried that the chargeport door would be the fragile point when off-roading. ? ?

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

    When I first got my Model 3 my "efficiency" was about 800 Wh/mile too. it took several weeks of driving before I could resist "full send" acceleration at every traffic light and highway on-ramp. Their right foot will settle down eventually* *for most, but not all owners ?

    I bet the CTs in show rooms are roped off solely due to fingerprints

    When I get my CyberTruck I'm gonna pop a huge bowl of popcorn and spend the next hour eating popcorn and touching every square inch of my new truck. I think with a uniform coating of fingerprints they will all disappear from view.
