I think the manual says to remove the front and rear ones to avoid damaging them when going off road.

Can you provide the weight of the parts? I’m sure this will potentially impact payload capacity, handling and braking if they’re all heavy duty steel parts, not to mention some range loss from the front bumper’s effect on aero.

Always check the expiration date on the box.

The whole argument is whether the 4680's can be improved upon at a faster rate. Suggesting that other batteries have progressed more slowly doesn't mean that these will, they are not the same thing and should not be compared to the current lithium ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries have NOT...

Simple! There was no production 5 years ago for these types of batteries. The Giga factory in Texas is only a few years old. These are entirely new batteries utilizing new technologies. The rate of improvement for lithium ion batteries with wet electrodes has been stagnant for the last 25 years...

Wrong. They already did it! That’s the evidence. What other batteries can you name that are as innovative as this one, let alone have finished the manufacturing hurdle and have gone into production on consumer vehicles with an entirely novel chemistry? Further, they are no longer constrained to...

Why a decade? You have no evidence to suggest you know what Tesla currently has in the works. All we have are rumors, that’s it. Given the current rate of improvement from the previous version of the cell, it’s highly likely that they will have something much sooner. They didn’t acquire Maxwell...

What’s the weight of doubling the pack? The weight of doubling the pack would not automatically mean you get this extra range. Doubling the pack would mean your payload capacity gets cut in half. That means your handling and breaking performance severely decrease. Just because you see extra...

I call BS.

I think it will be just fine.

No it’s not. It’s subjective and there is no evidence to support it. If build quality was the issue then the lemon law provision/state statute would come into play. It’s already established that the real reason was economic.

He needs written consent before he can sell. Further, his request must be in “good faith” and his request based on “quality” was not the correct approach. Why would Tesla admit poor quality in writing, not a chance. A good faith request would have elaborated on the cost and financial hardship...

Then you made the right choice! Glad we’ll both be happy ?

The CB trap speed is below the limit, how will that make a difference?

Happy I didn’t go for the AWD despite the delay for the CB. This thing is worth the wait. Considering how many cybertrucks will soon be on the road, it will be great to have the performance over the base model. The difference is mind blowing.

They’re losing 30k on every car manufactured. It’s only a matter of time. Tesla made the model s profitable before starting on the model 3. If Rivian starts producing their new cheaper model before resolving the issues they already have it will accelerate their collapse. Rivians will be like the...

How much added weight will the rear steel bumper add? Is the steel front bumper optimized for aerodynamics? Weight for that mod? How much range do you lose from adding the mods you have in the pics (spacers, wheels, tires, wider fenders…) are those tires wider than stock?

Edmunds did the test.

I had this happen once on my model S after having it detailed. I think a sensor got wet and threw the system out of whack. Next morning everything was fine.

Very cool, thanks! Looking forward to mine.
