inb4 Tesla breaks NHTSA's crash test machines again with CT

Actually, I'm pretty sure some mercedes have electrochromatic glass

If the window can indeed be removed, does that mean you can load up long planks and whatnot completely inside the vault?

I like this ring setup, even better if they coated it with brass so it looks like coils, that would be cool looking

Looks like CT is roughly R1T tall, maybe even a bit less

Windshield doesn't really matter. If they removed the heatpump and whatnot they could then stretch the frunk back under the dash

Lightning is 400 liters? Then CT probably closer to 200 or 250 max If the rumors about shrunk CT from original prototype is true, then that's part of the lost volume, along with extra stuff like heatpump, air suspension and big HEPA filters.

1 with seemingly collapsed suspension. Also the frunk looks to be ~300 liters

Would love a set of steelies with rally turbo fan aero covers

Saw all the debate about CT not having Lightning sized frunk. Would you rather have air suspension, heat pump and HEPA filters or a big frunk? Cuz all those features take up space in what would otherwise be the frunk of a CT. I have no skin in the game and will not likely to even test drive...

You can do that, but it will ruin the flush look.

Probably pre-production things. No reason you can't have ramp and flush lift gate

Kneel down is very likely, interior handle to get in is a likely no, judging from recent interior shots

Anodised aluminium would explain why the tonneau cover is a different color from SS. Or maybe it has a rubber liner? Either way, I think the cover should hold up if it's as strong as the prototype which withstood Elon's weight

Assume vertical hailstorm: From the top view, the only place with SS are the hood, the edges around the glass and the very sloped upper side. With that in mind, the hood is the most likely place to suffer damage. It is not clear at this moment if Tesla opted for a thinner SS for pedestrian...

??? How are the castings and structural battery pack not part of the exoskeleton? They are literally load bearing, exposed to the elements and not inside some other structural components. The real point of argument is that CT would only have a real exoskeleton if the stainless body panels...

I don't see no rear blinkers ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It's 55k, unless you are a fleet buyer

70k won't induce a market capacity of 300k+ CT annually, but might suffice for initial production ramp of say, 60-80k annually.

Guess what? That doesn't contrast my point at all, as now the competitive pricing has dropped to 70k for 300ish mi truck. My point is that Tesla will price it right at the point where people will buy up the production rate. What determines buyers' interest? Availability, relatively pricing and...
