Looks like A2Z has a CT CCS adapter on the way. They appear to be working on a Supercharger compatible extension cord too.

For sure, definitely worth looking into if you have the time and flexibility. I was just pointing out it's a factor and one that's easy to forget about. In my case when I checked back in March before configuring my order Carvana was less than Tesla's trade-in offer (taking into account the tax...
In MN you pay sales tax on the difference between the purchase price and trade-in value if you trade. So, for example, if they offer 30K for your trade in on a 100K CT you'd pay sales tax on 70K instead of 100K. If you sell separately to a private party, Carmax, Carvana, etc. you lose out on...
Pretty much all cars other OEMs would be looking to license FSD for also do not have rear steering to worry about. Also once Tesla has a model that works with rear steering for the CT it should make it easier for other rear steer vehicles (e.g., larger variants of the next gen platform). And...
My guess is it isn't significantly easier to retrain AP to account for rear steering than it would be for FSD. I suspect we'll get them both around the same time. Locking the rear steering out for highway AP is an interesting idea, though. Like you said I imagine most would be happy to make...
My guess is it's a combination of weight (the beast is a little heavier) and the permanent magnet motor being in the front rather than the rear. For efficient cruising the induction motors can be deactivated without creating much in the way of drag, though I suppose there being two for the...
It stinks, but the Tesla autonomy team just has bigger fish to fry at the moment. It sounds like the issue (as someone else pointed out earlier) is the rear wheel steer which no other Tesla has had before. So they essentially have to retrain the "outputs" of AP and FSD to take that into...
Congratulations! One truck closer for the rest of us stuck in the MN wilderness :)
I also just realized I never officially added the info for my AWD order to this thread, though I do have an entry on cybertruck.vin somehow:
1) RN11294xxxx (Dual Motor)
2) Date Configured: 03/24/2024
3) Date...
I totally agree - it's just that it happens to fit nicely with the type of camping I like to do as well. I do intend to use mine for other purposes, too, like a mobile office when traveling or my own "guest house" when visiting family.
A Pebble appears to be about twice the cost of a Cyberlandr. And, yes, it has its own drivetrain so it doesn't affect range. But that also means you're going to have to charge it (in addition to your truck) every leg of a trip longer than the initial range of the truck. I imagine that's not...
Correct, I don't disagree there. It looks to me like the Cybertent was designed to fit above the range extender and that most of the functionality of the Cyberlandr could be cobbled together much more cheaply, though I struggle to see how that would be 10% the cost (maybe 20%).
The experience...
Sorry, but the Cyberlandr and Cybertent are not really comparable. You're correct in that the square footage is similar, but it has many more advantages than just a built in shower and toilet. Let's explore a few, shall we?
Height - you can stand up fully in a Cyberlandr, not so much in the...
Correct, though I'm single, pack light, and I'll be getting a dual motor. Again, if range is your overriding concern you have options. Even with the beast and a passenger or two you're probably looking at 175ish. That would still be perfectly fine for me. Note I didn't choose the dual motor...
Firstly, I don't agree with this opinion. 200ish miles of range under most circumstances seems like it should be enough for most use cases. It's certainly adequate for any situation I plan to use mine for.
Secondly, we don't know that Stream It isn't working on a version that could be fit...
Thanks for doing the math - I was thinking of doing something similar after reading through the prior replies. Even my MYP pulling a 3500 camper (Taxa Mantis) can manage around 100 miles of range under most non-winter conditions, so the idea of having to stop to charge "every 80 miles" sounded...
My understanding is that Tesla cannot completely block the sale. However, they can try to collect the $50K fine stipulated in the purchase agreement and permanently ban the seller from ever buying a new car from them again. Doesn't seem worth the risk to me.
I've been using a Weigh Safe hitch for many years. They're not cheap, but high quality and they have a tongue weight gauge right on the hitch making it super easy to measure. It's modular so you can mix and match parts to fit different vehicles (currently have a modified "L" to clear my Model...
This gives me some hope too. I couldn't order mine till 3/24 though (RN11294). I would love to get mine in time for a camping trip planned for the end of May but that isn't looking too likely ...
