Current X range is 320 miles. The LR X had 420 miles of range, but you cannot order that anymore. Check the Tesla web site. There is only one range option. It is why I am not driving a X while I wait for my CT with 500 miles of range.
My reservation is for a tri AWD 500 mile range. 320 miles does not work for me. The Chevy gets 450 miles. I am aware the range on the X has dropped from 420 to 330 and you cannot order anything else. You guys in small overpopulated states have no idea of the need for range. 320 miles will not...
Well, I live in Reno, Nevada, where they make batteries at G1. There are over 7,000 employees there, which is a class with priority that does not respect the reservation system, but will fill up many transports. I am hoping one falls off the transport at my house, since I live by the main...
I definitely advise you to go to a Service Center or Showroom. I have been a frequent visitor to my Center here in Reno. Very nice folks. They will give you the straight skinny and you will not be scammed. The phone call sounds fishy.
I am not holding my breath. When the web page changes, then I will start getting excited. From the report, it appears they are having problems getting the production line in gear. CT's are just trickling out.
"Cybertruck deliveries start in October"? Well, it is 12 October and the only "deliveries" have been to employees for testing. Us deposit guys have yet to see one. I live in Reno, Nevada, and, you would think, with 8,000 employees at Giga 1, we would see CT's all over the place. I have yet to...
Exactly. The alternator just went out in my 2010 Chev 2500HD Silverado. You would think, being only 14 years old, GM would still stock the alternator? Nope! My local dealer here in Reno said "discontinued". The parts manager found one in Colfax - an hour down the road in the PRC. And, yes, I...
Correct. NUCOR is the largest steel producer in the USA. Most of their mills are "mini-mills", which produce higher quality steel, especially specialty products like SS. When I built my barbecue, the stainless top I bought from PDM, but it was made by NUCOR.
The Rivian does not compare with the CT. R1T is about the size of a Ranger. The CT is supposed to be about the size of an F-150. The R1T is too small to be useful for me. I could not fit my two German Shepherds in the R1T. I can fit them in a Model X with two row seating, but not a sheet of...
Paying attention to the fence top, you can see snow. I live n Reno and nearby Truckee got snow out of the last storm. So, I think the mud splash you see on the fenders is driving through snow on the highway. No need to go to NZ!
And how many CT's of any trim are in real customer hands? How many CT's of any trim are available for MT, CD, etc. to test? Chevy has actually sold WT4's to real customers. Chevy is cranking them out as fast as they can, with the strike. Tesla doesn't even have a web page that lists anything...
Elon has to, at the very least, update the web page with prices. They already know everything that will be on the "forever" web page. Why not share it with fandom? A lot of CT fans are getting fed up with this tease-tease stuff and will go with the Chevy. Here in Reno, my Chevy dealer has a...

I expect the LTZ will be comparable in trim to the CT. Elon doesn't do fancy. My current Chevy is LTZ and it is pretty...
The Chevy has a openable partition. 450 mile range, too. WT version available now. Elon should have beaten Chevy to market. But Chevy looks like all pickups for last 70 years....
Did you know Black Rock owns a huge ranch that borders on the "desert"? They now own the Fly Geyser and those large ponds just south of the geyser. I do not know why they don't hold the event there and blow off the BLM and Pershing County.
