I believe earlier the Engineering was complete. But I assume that internal or exerted none structural changes may still have been changed. I'm sure since the Engineering was done that also ment which machines were ordered for bigger/structural stuff.
I have no clue just thinking out loud, and...
Can't wait to see Munro's tear down of the new S. To see if they made a structural pack for new S using the 18650 size with the 2170 chemistry. That may give us a bit more of a clear picture on what's next..
Possibly like the S Plad+
There were pictures floating around that showed 2 in rear and one in front.
What type of motors I don't know. I know currently the 3 (IPM-SynRM) more efficient is in the front. And the S (Induction) performance motor is in the rear.
At least the CT would not catch fire like the Lordstown truck.. lol
From what I can see the Tri is still not ready, but the dual can do it. But is has much less range. I'm sure Tesla would not make a one off Dual with Long Range (500+), as then lots of people would want that...
Of all those trucks how many are as large as the CT? Although there are bigger trucks of the same one they usually are the smaller version. Besides the price of a smaller vs a bigger. It's easier to use a smaller when going to customers location. I could see many companies experiment with a few...
So I am hearing landscaping and snow. Snow I'm sure would definitely need a Dual version. Landscaping would not need 4x4 but need lots to tow the dirt away so that may be a Tri motor. Others were logistics so this are Van's not trucks.
Please let me know if I'm missing anything on why a company...
Anyone else notice the screen and Yoke size ratios? Looked like the Yoke is bigger than the screen. Personally I think the S and X need a minimum of 17in screen and the CT minimum of 21in.. dreams...
Think about it this way, the solar may help with miles. But when your camping it should be enough to charge the Quad, induction top, or other power needs. I have a 400 watt panel on my Suburban with a 5.2k Tesla module running off a 3k Pure inverter. And that is plenty of juice camping in the...
Now that Single would be coming out last instead of first, due to demand. By the time the single would come out the eF150 *should* be out and this that would be Tesla's competitor. And no longer the ICE F150.
I'm not saying don't get the Single, I'm just looking at history and timeliness of...
Or remove the single motor and have only dual and tri. As I thought he said at start 300... like other models no says there will be a single motor... then later removing it. For those that say a smaller CT is ok, or that trucks are too big as is.. I'm assuming are currently not Truck owners...
Trim and your location. Quicker sale if your closer to factory. Just speculation from my part.
I am waiting but have to be realistic as well. I waited way too long (24 hours) so I am later on the list...
Or maybe the Roadster/CT/Semi are 48v as they are on new platforms. But the things to keep in mind are what uses the 12v/48v rails.. Lights, phone chargers, MCU, airbags, seat retentions, radio, breaks, etc.. If all are made in house then they may be able to be engineered to 48v. But if any...
My off reading will be on the sand dunes, our camp site is right next to the ocean. Only one way to get there is driving through the sand maze. Sand is much more difficult to drive on.. Can't wait :sneaky:
Older article but still a great read and great pictures. Learned a bit more on its battery and range in different conditions. Would love to due a side by side with CT in same conditions...
