If they can get anywhere near 75k units sold per year at this price, it would be a huge achievement. My guess is if they held at $60k pricing, they end up closer to 45k a year. Anythinvg near 50k units would still be a huge achievement, no one has been able to make an EV truck appealing to the...
The bed divider is fantastic for big items like cases of drinks, makes sure they stay where you can reach.
Frunk only gets used for me on smaller trips or where I put the most sensitive items.
$65k AWD Standard, $75k AWD Premium, $95k Beast is my guess of where this ends up. Optional luxe package for $10k on Premium and Beast only, but this happens once the S and X are gone.
Standard sized reusable shopping bags give the frunk a real hard time. You can fill them maybe 2/3 of the way, or else they make the frunk pop open. You can then put bags three wide, before it gets to the lower clearance part of the frunk. I seldom only get three 2/3 full bags when I go...
If you got behind the wheel of a Lightning, your mind would be blown.
A M3P, you may cry.
A Beast or a Plaid, you may die.
P.S. - I helped teach my niece to drive in a Lightning, it wasn't too much speed and it has more zip than AWD CT.
My gf and I had a serious talk about the new trim. She drives a M3P and I drive a Beast. She said she wouldn't want to drive any CT that isn't a Beast, too slow. I certainly am not giving up the Beast. So this is not for us, but it seems more like a good vehicle for a teen you don't want...
To me this seems like the mass market price they need to hit. The features they are removing from the AWD premium won't be missed, especially air suspension. Most people buying $60k vehicles don't have air suspension experience, so it will be like everything they every drove before.
Also, the...
With the Lightning, at launch every dealer got one Pro that was $40k. There was a big fight to get them, because after tax rebate, the Lightning Pro was a highly capable truck that cost less than a Civic. At that price and with 220 miles of range, the thing was a perfect around town work truck...
This is one of the best posts in this thread, because it gives a measurable way the OP has been impacted. If he is driving 400 miles regularly and has home charging of $0.15 per kWh and supercharging costs $0.40 per kWh, you can easily back into extra cost that was not expected. If you drove...
I have seen quite a few postings that HW4 doesn't physically fit where HW3 went. If HW5 fits in the space of HW3, that will be the first sign Tesla is serious about upgrading older vehicles with paid FSD. If HW5 doesn't fit, it is a pretty good clue they have no intention to bring us new hardware.
I would exchange lifetime FSD for lifetime supercharging, but I also expect nothing, because Tesla has already delivered exactly what I ordered. Why would they give me more?
The people who should be upset are the ones who didn't get their lightbars yet, they didn't get what they ordered. This...
I have an early truck and have the occasional button issue. For me at least, when it is too wet or snowy, the buttons don't always register a press. When it happens, which thankfully has only been a few times, I need to use the app. Unless other people have another issue with phantom presses...
I assume the range extender was canceled because the low take rate on a vehicle that isn't selling well. A portion of a small amount wasn't enough to make Tesla keep moving forward with the project. I wonder how many people that went through with the purchase of the truck placed a reservation...
Cyberbeast has an extra motor and is significantly faster. Of course it has less range.
The MPG in a Prius is better than a M5. Which would you rather drive? That's AWD versus Beast decision.
But you need to differentiate hardware and updates. The updates come fast and furious, which is arguably the best reason to own a Tesla. The hardware changes every 4ish years, not very fast at all.
But this is where hardware matters. If you like those fast and furious updates, not all of...
Fair points for sure. I am assuming HW5 is in CT early next year, but absolutely could be later than that. If it ends up being end of 2027, not start of 2027, that is a heck of a long wait.
Will be interesting if they can deliver on their version of FSD. $2,500 one time charge for a system that includes radar and lidar, and will be level 3 in 2027. From a pure driving standpoint, the vehicle will be fresh and certainly attract some buyers, but it seems like a Model Y is still...
