They don't ship these to your home - they get shipped to a Tesla service center of your choice and you have to make an appointment for installation. Kind of annoying as I'm perfectly capable of swapping my own wheels and I live almost 300 miles north of the nearest US service center (I suppose...

I’ve taken mine through my local auto wash many times without issue. It’s pretty new though (built about a year ago) and has foam paddles instead of the older style bristles on the rollers that scrub the vehicle.

The only option that I know of (so far) is the normal Tesla CCS -> NACS adapter plus and EVject adapter to be able to clear the fender. This isn’t officially supported, of course, but several on here have stated It works (I just got my EVject adapter, but haven’t tried it yet). A2Z had a...

Same, 100%

I've been eyeing these as well. My big concern is the tire would block the rear view camera.

The big problems with the Silverado EV, in my mind, are the weight and the poor efficiency. Sure, it has a longer range than something like a CT, but charging is going to be expensive and time consuming on a long road trip (unless you can find 350KW+ chargers along your route which are not...

I was a bit apprehensive about the wheel before delivery, too, but quickly got used to it. It's just so natural now with SBW. My other car (MINI Cooper S) was in the body shop the first month I had my CT. It was shocking how different the MINI felt when I picked it up. The MINI wheel feels...

This is pretty much what I've been experiencing in rural NW MN too :)

There are a few running around, actually. Not too surprising with DigiKey in town (major electronic component distributor). Lots of befuddled people, though, for sure. Pretty much everywhere I stop there's someone asking what the hell my CT is :). Though the younger they are the more likely...

The Tesla insurance quote was even higher for my CT too (I haven't used Tesla for insurance in the past). So I stuck with State Farm which, for me, wasn't much more expensive than the MYP I traded. Though I had to increase my deductible to get there. I'm at less than $150/month when bundled...

I live near Thief River Falls - not too many Teslas (or other EVs) up here. There have been sightings in Grand Forks and Fargo, ND, too though they could be the same one (not mine though).

You could be right as I don't follow Rivian super closely either. I've heard the positive gross profit goal for Q4 or Q1 2025 and I guess I assumed they meant it would be sustainable from then on - my bad. I agree they are far from out of the woods. They are burning through their cash pile...

Agreed - I didn't even notice it until over a week after I got mine. Who stares at the bottom of their accelerator pedal?

After just over a month I still get mobbed pretty much wherever I go. Not surprising as we don't have many non-CT Teslas (or EVs period) here in rural NW Minnesota. I don't expect to see another one here for quite a while. Though there have been sightings in some of the bigger towns in the...

They have been guiding for a while that they expect to be gross profit positive on the R1 platform after this year. That still means they're losing money, though, as it doesn't cover the non-R1 production costs (e.g., SG&A, R&D, etc.). That is a huge milestone to hit though. I think they need...

I will likely be waiting for these, too, though primarily for the quick attach system. The others look like they're directly bolted on which means it would be a pain to take them on/off. That would be no bueno if/when I get a Cyberlandr.

I tend to tidy up cables at L2 chargers when I see them in disarray too. Just seems like good karma to me. I tend to fetch a shopping cart from the area I park (if one is there) and bring it in with me for the same reason.

lol, MINI's aren't that small :cool:

To preface, these measurements were taken behind my driver's side seat in its "entry mode" position which is most of the way back in the tracks. I'm 5' 11" (181 cm) for reference. 1-1: 57" (145 cm) 1-2: 30" (76 cm) 1-3: 9" (23 cm) 2: The steering wheel is heated. 3: Both the 1st and 2nd rows...

Mine had a distinct haze on the inside of the windshield, too, in addition to the strongest "new car" smell I've ever experienced (and I've bought more new cars than average over the years). I actually kept one of the rear windows cracked open the first few hundred miles to help it escape. The...
