It looks to me like they just gave those mom and pop shops the ability to raise their prices across the board. We wrapped our Y, for about 5K Canadian. that equates roughly to half of what Tesla is charging.
I don't see many using their service, other than the lazy people with money who simply...
They're using the same type of seal as the model 3/Y. We've had no issues with ours, no water or dust comes through.
Admittedly, my 2020 3 is quite loud inside the cabin, however the newer Y is not (thicker glass in the Y I believe, so the seal is not to blame)
if the interior of the cab were, in some way heated (I know, I know at this point we don't think it is)
Then it may melt the buildup of ice on the cover, much like the snow/ice melting off the windows/roof of the current cars when the cabin heat kicks in.

This says 95% on L2 charger, and 60-85% with L1 charger (dependant on weather)
Throw away 2% for a cool wireless charger pad? sure!
I feel like I'm missing something here, how would this help non home owners?
You still have to feed the wireless charger on the parking spot with the same (or more depending on efficiency) as a wired charger? It's merely an easier/lazier way to hook up to the electrical system. Or am I...
I wanted to agree with this post.. as a Canadian (we DO often get screwed with currency exchanges)
However, I just checked a model x plaid - CAD vs USD on Tesla's site, I see 108,490 (US) vs 148,990 (CAD)
Google says 108,490 usd is equal to 146,521.98 right now. That's nothing to complain about
It's a lot easier, when the plug is within a couple feet of the charge port, when you dont have to take loops of cable off of the charger, and walk to your destination. (I know, small thing to complain about)
We've got 3 chargers, one on either side of the garage, and one on the exterior of...
we have 2 gen 3’s and 1 gen 2 wall connectors hooked up for our current cars… with that being said, I would not suggest you to buy one until we get the charging capability of the truck.
During our Canadian winters I've only ever had to bash the model 3/y door handles a few times, 99% of the time ice hasn't been an issue.
I can't imagine the battery consumption it would take to melt the snow off the top of the truck, seems very wasteful for what is supposed to be an efficient...
Yeah, I remember hearing Elon in a podcast... maybe it was the Joe Rogan one? Where he cited complexity & costs being involved with hiding the wiper. The whole point of this truck is to be inexpensive.
so... does this mean we don't get a 12v or a 48v battery?
I was thinking about when they mentioned "the best part is no part".. something along those lines anyways.

I know, not perfect. But probably pretty close.
Scaling the image based on our known truck height of 75", she appears to be almost exactly the USA average height for a women.... so no. She's not small.
So... my Mini Cooper started to break down, and rather than feed the money pit it was becoming we jumped at a model 3 LR.
Keeping the deposit on the truck, now the plan is to keep both. :D
My first EV, such amazing cars.
