Can Tesla get its cars to hold 250kw while charging longer than 2 mins.... Taper after 10 mins would be amazing!

Gross weight accounts for vehicle plus passengers and cargo, so not an apple to apples comparison. We should look at a comparison of the Lightning vs CT instead.

Yeah I agree...I'm sure Sandy has a lot of experience but at the end of the day these engineers are way out of his league as it relates to how and why they do things. At the end of the day he tears down cars to try to understand the why certain things are done. From all the tear down most legacy...

I wonder if they played with the idea when Elon said they will have a quad motor. Basically would the dual rear motor could also bolt to the front motor mounts giving a quad motor setup. If I was Elon I would have 1 custom Cybertruck with a quad motor setup because I can lol ?

This is a great video for those of you who were wondering why the truck is so expensive. Lots of custom parts inorder for them to make the best truck possible. Also tells me that Elon being the sales person he is, definitely under priced the truck in 2019 to create buzz. If you can afford the...

A dumbed down version is imagining each door, window, light, power seat switch is assigned a IP address. Instead of having a control module for each one of these systems, you can have one big control module sending a signal through one wire loom to each specific IP to control these functions...

From past models I know they will bake at least 30% gross profit margin into the truck at the beginning. Once they start pumping them out faster than demand, they will slowly start pulling back on profit margin to drive demand. I dont think a reduction will happen until 2025. They could just...

Pretty sure they don't deliver them in an exact order.

For my use case I don't think the beast is worth the $20k premium over AWD and definitely not the foundation series at $40k. The only difference I see is that beast is only 1 second faster to 60 mph. A spec I don't care about along with 1/4 mile time because I'm in SF and not racing ppl in my...

Extra accessories are great and all but a lot of being in the special 1000 club has perceived value too.

Sandy munro test drove a CT with autopilot he mentioned in his 2nd interview with musk.

This is pretty much the best answer.. the engineer I spoke with said that to get the best efficiency having induction in the rear was the best scenario with also being cheaper to manufacturer. I wonder if the semi will eventually do this vs having the clutch system they currently have. On the...

Keep in mind based on the given specs on the website.. beast is 2.6 0-60 with rollout subtracted…so it prob more like 3 seconds 0-60. dual is prob a real 4.1 0-60 …is 20k worth 1 second 0-60…which tbh you would never do launches to 60 because it’s just no where to do it unless a on ramp to...

For connections that are not exposed to the elements…nothing beats a screw down for simplicity and is universal.

it’s obvious you both are missing the point of the pricing increase. Inflation is just one broader factor. Here are some other factors that play a bigger role to pricing: - Elon priced the truck too low to begin with - Cost to manufacture the truck increased ie. * new custom tools to bend...

I think people have choices and there are plenty of options out there for everyone’s particular use case. People are only really concerned about the price. I don’t think there is a perfect vehicle/truck no matter what. You can’t make everyone happy…I thought I wanted 500 miles back in 2019…but...

Seems as though he think they will plan to sell less than 40k units in 2024. If they sell about 90k model s/x a year. An amount that won’t move the needle much is prob half of s/x production I’m thinking as they ramp. when I spoke with the Tesla engineer I guess he said the pack for single...

I would hope the connection in the frunk is a screw type connection for accessories for winch/lights/outlets

I believe b4 EV was mainstream like the current model y. In 2019 the only knock against an ev was total range. So for Elon to say we can have an ev with 500 miles of range in the hottest automotive market was a great ploy. It worked obviously, but as the data came through from the almost 2...

Although they are thin and led, they still generate heat and will melt most ice that accumulates...if it's snowing that hard you shouldn't be driving faster than 40 mph anyways. They did mention having the brightest drl too.
