Iām with you on that, it does seem like we are now seeing what the CT really is.
It never was a work truck or a cheap truck, it was always going to be a feature rich Tesla. The unrealistic part was EM setting a too low price.
I too thought $80k for a truck? At least until I checked the cost of...
no point making any decision now. Wait until they give the opportunity to order, the decide.
Initially I thought Iād get the RWD, but historically time changes everything at Tesla, so Iām just waiting to see.
The other part is realizing where the market is at this point, the pricing is right...
Very much a wait and see. The specs of the RWD aren't set and are likely to be extremely fluid.
I'm betting the range of the RWD is artificially low to encourage folks to get the AWD
regular 18" for me, aftermarket covers maybe. My truck will go off-road about as much as most 4x4s - which means maybe 24hrs over a five year period.
Caliche side roads don't count as off-roading :cool:
I'd love this to be true, but honestly, how often does anyone in a Tesla gallery/store know anything to do with time frames for anything, let alone how the reservation system works in relation to delivery.
99.999% of the time they just say what the customer wants to hear
So far Iāve seen two CTs at superchargers, neither of them had any issues with charging. The amount of slack of the supercharger cable was just like all the other Teslas in other stalls. Probably keep a 14-50 extension in the sub trunk under the bed and keep the frunk for groceries.
This is based entirely on what it looks like from the outside.
In practice you can't look through at least the top 8-12" of the windshield anyway, even more if you include the glass that bonds to the top of the frame, so the patch missed on the remaining visible portion seems to be the same as...
Feels like there are so many of them driving around now that it's hard to miss them.
Saw one at a supercharger outside of Houston last weekend. There was a steady flow of other pickup drivers stopping by to get up close and take pictures.
Sight unseen is only going to apply for a few months ;)
Even the guy who wrote the whining InsideEVs article admitted on the very last paragraph that it was a prototype he was looking at, but he still submitted all of those ācrappy buildā lies as if this was production.
just the small point that nobody knows right now, because well, nobody has one to sell and won't until at least December 1st.
But there are always some crazy numbers happening just after the launch of every Tesla.
