"FSD capability" is the same verbiage they have on the current order page for all other Teslas. I would actually read this as what is normally a $12,000 option as being included in the purchase price. If so, the foundation series isn't a terrible deal.

Not much worse than a typical winter drive here in the Midwest...

....Or EV car owners like myself have a different use case for a truck (i.e. towing) that requires more range. If I was buying the CT to replace my model 3 or Y, 300 is fine. Honestly 250 is more than enough for the vast majority of my daily driving. But my hope is to replace both my model 3...

My main reason for the long range "need" is towing, and especially in cold weather. I tow either a boat, utv, or snowmobile trailer on a fairly regular basis and most of those trips are 150 or more miles. If I never towed, I could absolutely get by without a true long range version. But if that...

70% of the pre-orders were not for the "short range", <300 mile single motor version. I'm pretty sure those only accounted for ~30% of pre-orders.

What parallel universe are you from? Also funny is that my screen name on forums used to be red02f4i (my first bike). Never had a ninja, but just about everything else over about 10 years of street riding and track days. Now I'm just old and boring......

I'll give you that... there is A market for short range EVs. What I really meant was that I don't see a large enough market for a sub-300 mile TRUCK to make it worthwhile for tesla to offer it.

Agreed on the 200k for the 300-ish version. What I said was that there will be enough demand for the standard range to sell everything they can make during the ramp (maybe around a year). But to sell 200k a year, they will need a long range (500+) version to convert many ICE truck owners, and...

I think a lot of the confusion surrounding the 2019 trims vs what is now (presumably) being released comes from the fact that in 2019, Tesla named the variants by motor number, rather than range. It made sense at the time, assuming they had originally intended that each variant would have a...

For me, there is a big difference between being able to do something, and being able to do something efficiently or with minimal sacrifice. If there was no other option, yes, you could make it just about anywhere in upper Michigan in an ev. Even pulling a trailer with a 350 mile CT. BUT..... It...

Destination chargers are great if they are located at your actual destination, and there are enough of them at that location to ensure that everyone that shows up for the night has a plug available. But having just returned from a road trip across the WI/UP border, I can confirm that the...

The way the gen 3 wall connectors work on a single circuit requires a sub panel. The wireless communication allows each circuit to have the same max load as the main circuit. i.e. 50 amp breaker on the main panel feeding 2 50 amp breakers on the sub. You then set up the wall connectors based on...

I was a reservation holder for the 3. It was a long time ago, but I think it was $1000. The process was still very similar (online reservation). The big difference then was that at the reveal, they just said it would start at 35k. No different trim levels, etc. So they honored that price...

It's not just about what people actually need on a daily basis, it's about what people THINK they need (or only need on very rare occasions). That's a big part of why the F-150 is the number one selling vehicle in the US even though the vast majority of owners rarely tow. Even if they never...

Maybe it's just me, but If I were that concerned about vandalism at my home, I would be prioritizing a move over a new CT purchase.

That will depend on the final pricing of the CT. I have an '18 model 3 that I am planning on trading in. Resale is way down, but a year ago, when resale was high, I also had very little confidence that the CT would be anywhere close to reveal pricing. Price cuts have made it reasonable to...

If I thought I would be sitting in the back seats myself, I might care more. For my kids.... looks much better than what I had to sit in growing up, so they will be fine.

That multi-year backlog will disappear very quickly if the truck isn't priced at least close to reveal pricing. With the exception of a very small percentage of the population that just wants the CT and will buy it at any cost, the CT is actually competing with everything. The competition is...

I mostly agree with this. I'm very much a "don't look at me" guy, and the look of the cybertruck was definitely a turn-off to me on reveal night. Honestly I kept waiting for them to roll the "real" truck onto the stage. It took me a couple days to get past that and focus more on the specs vs...

I think the huge price reductions of the x and s are bigger news. The x, which is low volume and has many premium features can now be had for just under 80k and qualifies for the tax credit. That news has me more hopeful than I've been in a long time that the tri motor (or whatever 500 mile...
