Quality is actually better than average at the start of production because they spend a lot more time going over every detail. It’s as if each one is hand crafted. The second wave is where they bring on scale and less skilled people join the line and things get potentially sloppy. Eventually...

Yes. But a folding mid gate could mean keeping the Vault closed, and sleeping under the stars in an air conditioned / heated (and bulletproof) space without packing a tent.

Here's my list: 1. Powered gate. I HATE lifting the gate on my F-150, especially when my hands are full from unloading it. It's super heavy, and I'm sure the CT will be even heavier because of the ramp. 2. Folding MidGate. This would not only make longer items easier to haul, but make...

If the midgate drops flat, that would be HUGE for sleeping in comfort under the stars... It doesn't seem likely because they've never mentioned it could and Musk said it would be pretty much what they showed with only a few improvements. But then again, they didn't show 4 wheel steering at the...

Just typed the same thing. You hit save before I did. :)

They would need to drag it pretty far before gaining any realistic power. By then they's pass quite a few charging stations capable of a much quicker charge. Keep in mind that unlike a regular tow, the EV would put a significant drag on the vehicle towing it, which is why they're showing a...

I went head to head with a Patent Troll back in the 90s. He made a lot of money suing companies for violating his loosely worded patent ideas. He never even built prototypes for any of his patents. They were just concepts without plans to actually make them happen. In my case, he patented...

I got tired of waiting for them to potentially do another batch, so I just ordered on from eBay. Hopefully it's not a fake listing and it'll actually arrive.

You are probably right, but even if they're not trying to block companies from adding this kind of feature, it's just plain silly because nobody should expect generating power while being towed to be a better solution than simply towing the stranded EV to a power source. Even if somebody...

What I find funny is that Ford PATENTED this? What for? Turning a motor to generate electricity is basic science. Motors and generators are fundamentally the same technology. Give a motor power, it turns. Turn the motor, it generates power like a generator. What's the point of a patent...

Here's my take. I think the photo was more of a suggestion of the kinds of possibilities, but when it comes to practical pop-up camping, here's what I'd like to see: 1. The lift gate needs to be powered. Other trucks have this option, and it makes a HUGE difference if you plan to climb into...

I'm surprised the designers didn't consider projecting the speed on the windshield like a jet. That's the only thing that needs the driver's constant attention... and it doesn't require touch interaction. A friend of mine had that way back in 1993 on a Pontiac Bonneville. The center screen...

By saying "No door handles. Car recognizes you & opens door." Great for publicity, bad for understanding. The main issue here is we've never seen it demonstrated and an intentionally short tweet only makes everyone wonder what the heck he means. With 4 doors, and 6 passenger capacity we can...

No worries. All they's have to do is break the wind... oh. Never mind. :)

That's the main reason for my original post. I think a lot of people who placed reservations in the first days really didn't expect there to be over a million reservations, and that could mean a drastic wait if your original choice was single or dual. If they give single and dual reservation...

That’s all we can do. I just wish they offered me a chance to decide whether to upgrade to whichever ships to my area first without risking losing my position. It just bothers me that somebody in my area who placed a CT3 reservation 6 months after my CT2 could take delivery almost a year...

My top reason to get a CT is reliability. My brother has 4 Teslas, and in 7 years, had virtually no expenses (he even has free SuperCharging for life on one of them). The idea of a million mile battery is super exciting... and since it's literally built like a tank, maybe I can finally feel...

I knew it would be a few years, and I hope my F-150 will be my last ICE, because the timing corresponds to the length of time I often keep a vehicle before getting something new and my trade in value would still be pretty solid. I didn't think my choice of dual motors might add an additional...

The Reservation Tracker / Google Spreadsheet that's linked on this site is what started this whole thing. I looked at the estimated delivery dates for the lowest reservation numbers and all of the dual reservations were up to a year later. When I called Tesla to confirm this, they said they...

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! My F-150 has a carpet floor. I often find myself full of mud, so I have a set of rubber Husky mats, yet some of the dirt makes its way to the carpet, so why not skip the carpet floor... then add carpet if you want it? Virtually all drivers have mats... and the most...
