I'm sure the Top Gear peeps have an NDA till reveal night. But the back door of the CT was open in the video. No one outside of the Top Gear people took a look inside to see what all the fuss was about in the back seat? Do these review trucks have ALL the features? Or are some features being...

There has been a lot of discussion and that is not a universally accepted opinion. I'm not expecting a 5th wheel and the storage area in the bed is just lending credence to the CT not being able to have a 5th wheel hitch.

How long till we see a video of some car prowler sneak up with those fancy gloves they have to break side windows? I'd like to know if the CT glass is going to shatter the same way most car glass does... No use having super powerful glass if it can easily be shattered and then cost the owner an...

If a kidnapper pushes you in there, closes the door, closes the tailgate and drives off? Somewhere along the line you might at least think about opening the trap door before opening the tailgate.

To me, that departure angle looks more like the consequence of stacking the bed floor, license plate, and tow hitch. Having the placement of those pretty much set, there isn't much room to change the departure angle. Unless.... if the rear axel was pushed further back toward the rear then the...

You think Elon and Jeff are best buddies like that?

LOL. But what about all that excess weight from the internal ramp. Oh, and it will need to have detectors to prevent the closing tailgate from operating when the ramp is out or when there are fingers about to be pinched.

Nahhh. MDR will be back at the delivery event interviewing the tear-down crew for the great insights they will speculate about having just spent the day setting up and tearing down chairs, curtains, speakers, and lights.

Have a wonderful time there. As for Greggertruck, just look for this guy:

So given the size of that storage area, where would one attach a 5th wheel hitch? From what I understand, the best placement would be right over the rear axel. But that would seem to put it in the middle of that storage area.

I was actually thinking carbon fiber. But for extreme maybe Mylar balloon sheets. Or tin foil for those who see the great conspiracies. But wood would be cool.

I’d watch that video. What it takes to replace the skin. How it looks with the new skin. Measuring the new stats on range etc. And then the inevitable off-road video that may or may not turn out how one might think.

Agree with you. Can’t be a “mute” point if he was “just saying”.

For all those who don’t see the SS skin as part of the “skeleton”, one could replace all the factory SS with a much thinner skin to save weight and add range.

Touché

There are also the multi-fire crossbows. Speaking of crossbows.... That should be another demo on the CT.

I'm not so sure that the "Tesla way" as you describe it will 100% hold for the CT. In general I totally agree with your assessment as to how Tesla has been handling options on its vehicles. However, for the CT, there are possible options that would be made FOR the CT as opposed to being part...

Ouch. What's the printer filament cost going to be?

So don't drive that fast. The amazing torque allows for some nice abilities. But you worry about pedestrians is getting addressed with FSD. Right now pedestrian deaths are very high and no one seems to mention it except on Halloween night when drivers are warned about the little...

Prescription safety glasses (at least when I was wearing them) were often made with polycarbonate lenses. If FSD works like human eyesight, then polycarbonate should work in principle. In practice though, no one has 1" think glasses. And combined with an actual glass sandwich, I'm not sure...
