Its cute, but I am not sure about designing a car meant for highway speeds, to use the driver compartment as the crumple zone. Will they call it the Orpahnizer, maybe there will be stealth version called the black widow? Approach angles look awesome though. It could be a popular off roader, if...

Probably roughly similar to the cost to do body work to similarly damaged painted metal. The nice thing about glass, is your car still has not had body work with filler.

I just bought a 3 RWD today. After rebate it is $33,000. I got the Blue with white. White with black would have been $2000 cheaper. I already have a Model Y and we have off peak charging through FPL so the charging for the 3 will be totally free, as long as its off peak. So I used the tesla...

Yes, Scout was owned by IH, who was owned by Navistar, who VW bought a few years ago.

I was thinking, but did not state, I can not imagine a pathway to a sub $80,000 Cybertruck at launch. I very much believe they have the ability to get to the pricing mentioned at reveal, perhaps with an inflation adjustment. But it will come after production ramp. Elon has stated the importance...

It seems like with the early Plaid models, it was founders edition.

With very low initial production capacity, I can’t imagine a pathway to a sub $80,000 Cybertruck for the initial roll out. Tesla has told us time and again, pricing reflects a correlation between supply and demand. Demand is very high for Cybertruck, and supply is estimated very low, for this...

The body under the outer skin is painted. Only the outer skin is stainless. That paint work is much faster and easier though, as it does not require the perfection that a visible body panel would require.

Suppliers are not going to start producing Teslas in house designed 4680, until Tesla has the battery design finalized. Tesla hasn’t ramped production, because the haven’t finalized the production design. they must be getting close because they ordered 4680 machines for Giga Berlin a month or...

Tesla prices model Y within the average range for cars sold in the US. I think it’s intentional, and I think it’s a hint. The average truck sells from around $40k, and the average premium truck sells in the Mid $70’s. I think the first trucks may be ultra premium, and command a higher price, but...

That’s what ceramic is for. Our grey leather in our previous Toyota had jean staining, but no ceramic. Our white in our Y, has no staining after a year. I used Hydrosilex cleaners, and interior ceramic. It’s easy to use, and keeps the seats white.

Tell me you don’t live in FL, with out saying you don’t live in FL. We have white in our Y, and they are great. I got a 3 loaner from Tesla today, it had black interior. I think I got 3rd degree burns through my shorts. No thanks. I’ll get some seat covers, when it’s gonna get dirty. But...

are you referring to the bumper silhouette on the tailgate? Or did you see something else?

This comment is very underrated!! 4680's are the keys to production ramp and range, and probably cost. I assume Tesla developed the 4680, to be lower cost than 2170, and 18650. IF the 4680 energy density has not improved, there is no way it will be ready for Cybertruck. So Cybertruck may get...

I car camped in my Model Y Performance over the weekend. We started off at Walmart. Unfortunately, some undesirable individuals were also camping at Walmart, and they were acting inapparopiately, and even eliminating in the lot. This drove the store manager to call the police to make everyone...

You could build a box trailer 18 feet long, and 8 feet high. It would hold 6 Tesla panels on each side, and depending on width, it could hold 6 to 9 on the top. Make the side articulate up, like and awning, and you could charge your CT, to about 50% each day. Since the trailer is mobile, you...

I think Elon gave us some hints about his comments in other statements. First he said the next two models are coming soon, and those will account for 5,000,000 sakes per year. The silhouette looked slot like a refreshed Model y. Maybe produced with a more unboxed design. That’s means higher...

I doubt it. I think he constantly looks at statistics and sales volumes. He has said as much when raising and lowering prices on 3 and Y. I think there is a good chance the first trucks will be high end, and expensive, while they figure out how to ramp up. But The ASP will have to be in the...

I’m flying to Austin and letting that sucker drive me home!!!

I mounted my EVSE to the wall on the drivers side of my Tesla Model Y, and it’s proximal to the garage door. This serves a few functions. It allows quick easy charges of the model Y when parked in the garage. But if I’m doing a project in the garage, I can back up to the garage door, and still...
