Too bad you guys are not located in Southern California, with so many off-road testing grounds like Baja , Johnson Valley, glamis , ocotillo wells , Barstow … The aftermarket upper control arm industry for trucks/suvs is massive especially for off-road applications. From affordable tubular steel...

Yes . This will be the danger of waiting for a cheaper awd version. No dual locking differentials, which was very unusual and great that Tesla included this on all awd trucks. Very few manufacturers have a dual locker option. I bet in a few years people searching for used CTs will look for...

So cal. Seems like no one cares much because there are so many driving around here . If anything positive reactions from children. Sometimes attempts to race from gas pickup drivers .

Yah. Same. Took a demo dual motor for the weekend . Went to the mtns and desert. Free supercharging along the way. Tried out the dual locking diffs, and different off road modes. Whole family loved it . Probably the best part is that steering ! Yeah that’s a game changer. Car handles like...

Whatever … in the grand scheme of things it won’t matter. You’ll be too happy with your Tesla to remember that $7500 bucks lost in the long run. I paid ~ 57K for my model three performance back in 2021. Now you can get one for like $47k with the rebate. I Also missed out on used EV savings...

I wonder if you can reinforce the cast aluminum unibody bumper mounts with a steel overlay that also bolts into multiple points . Kind of like how they sell, pseudo frame rails for Jeep XJ ,Cherokees, that are unibody. So people can weld shock mounts and roll cages off of that. when it comes...

The app should warn you “door open or window down .”

Outside of unit bearing hub and flange face should have some surface rust. My model 3 performance has this too. Although I will say teslas usually show a lot more of this surface rust vs other oems so I wonder who their parts supplier is for unit bearings and why they are particularly...

No transmission, no T case needed with EV. Also no stupid driveshaft that can get bent up, connecting the front and rear axles for Dual motor EV. Even smarter would be a quad motor so no differentials needed at all. no locking diff needed bc there is NO diff. You can start to do all kinds of...

Probably the 75° F August days . Also, if you were inclined, you can take your mountain bike , or surfboard , or dirtbike and head off in any direction in a days drive. Off road play grounds are beyond imagination in CA. The fishing is not just nasty ass swamp fish like bass or catfish ...

I can’t wait till someone makes a real long travel kit for the CT. Wider, fully fabricated upper /lower control arms & spindle. Maybe even reinforced subframe and upper shock mounts. Big coil over or bypass shocks. Porsche 934 CVs and all. Basically the standard proper long travel kit you...

At ride height? Or at full suspension compression (bottom out aka bump ) . Also at full wheel lock/ turn ? That would be the worse possible situation for tire clearance . Full bump (suspension bottomed out) + wheel turned . Off roading will see that condition or big pot hole / curb/ speed bump...

Just wait for our heavy winter rain storms + clueless drivers ?.

Hell yes. This is the 200+ IQ tire / wheel choice. Imagine how this thing will crawl over rocks and sand at 20psi with lockers on. I suppose the only thing better would be beadlock 18 “ wheels . Then we can get down real , real low in tire psi, basically caterpillar tracks.

True. Long term , less risk , less stress , buy at today’s price and hold . Cost averaging , ya , it will get there. But if you felt a big correction or dip was coming, I mean, just simple mathematically speaking , that would be the best time to buy in and hold right ? Literally + 30-50%...

Exactly, ride the highs , sell , then buy back the lows ;) Sometimes , like in nov 2021 , or now (Dec 2024), the stock price gets way ahead of itself and is basically what it is should be valued at in a few years time , so a correction or dip is inevitable. Don’t have to sell it ,could be...

The most important feature of the cyber truck is the dual locking diffs. Tesla didn’t have to do this. It’s rare to see a vehicle with factory dual lockers. In fact , this is my favorite feature about the CT. the fact that it’s a 600HP+ all EV, is still not as cool as it having 2 mechanical...

True. And just like the rest of the aftermarket /off road truck industry, I’m sure we will start to see real suspension kits offered for the cyber truck. I’m talking big Porsche 930 CV axle upgrade, humongous unit bearings with custom steering knuckles + control arms. Or even portal...

Undisputed. I have 3 teslas so far. I’m just pointing out a real and not so talked about issue , that will have more consequences as more EVs get on the road . powerful cars in the hands of so many. It will bring a new meaning to reckless driving , road rage, fleeing from authorities and...

This is what I’ve been saying. This is the first time in history where normal humans get easy access to a 500+HP vehicle. If someone owned a bmw m5 or Benz G wagon it was much less likely to see them crash due to them being very expensive and thus inaccessible to the majority of the public...
