EXACTLY. If it's 100K I won't be happy.... but if it is it sure as hell better have 500+ miles and Plaid speed. I guess I'd probably pay it, but no way 100K for 375 miles or something weak like that.
Just because the S/X performance has less mileage than the LR versions, doesn't mean that will hold for the CT.
Main reason is Towing. S/X weren't meant for towing. CT is, and you need LOTS of range to tow.
If the Tri only has 320 miles, vs 500 (or at least well into 400), I'll burn all my Tesla stock and drive my Y over a cliff. That's how pissed I'll be. Don't let me down, Tesla!
Right....but I don't want a Loader. I don't need a loader. I want ONE tool that does it all:
Grocery Getter
Uber / Lyft money maker
SuperCar performance with Quad Motor
Snow Plowing Machine
Hot Shot Trucking Freight Hauler
Road Trip Cannonballer
Camping King
Off Road Beast
River Crossing...
What do you mean "the electronics have become useless"?
I've had no issues other than just traction and getting bogged down in really deep snow but that's just a function of ground clearance.
Here's a few pics of the Y
I'm super excited about the CyberTruck for MANY reasons... but one of them is just how awesome this truck will be at plowing snow.
For context, I'm "that guy" who now plows snow with my Tesla Model Y with a backward plow in the tow hitch. I have Nokian snow tires coupled with the Tesla traction...
Jeez, I hope the nose isn't chopped off...because it looks really goofy compared to the original...but of course hard to draw any conclusions from these photos.
I already have a PY, but now with the extended delay, might want to get a TeraTexas Y as well... but my interest would rely more on the 4680s and a range over 400 miles to enable better towing etc... otherwise I'll just wait for the CT.
Either way, whether Tesla publicizes it or not, I'm sure...
Yea, get the Y... although you might want to wait to see if it gets 4680s relatively soon, which "might" bump up the range over 400, which would be REALLY helpful if towing... Trust me, I've towed a lot of loads with the Y... 300 can work but is very far from ideal.
I just hope they carve out some space for a built-in Starlink Dish that's flush with the existing roofline but somehow still connects. I'd give up a bit of that view for the privilege as it really would only block the view when looking straight up while in the front row. It would be a bit more...
Heck, I put down $2500 right after the reveal of Y to reserve that....and I'm WAY more excited about the CT. Just now cashing in on the Y and waiting for delivery...only because I can't wait another 1 to 1.5 years to have another Tesla. I'd definitely pay 5K to reserve the CT, especially...
Didn't read all 13 pages of replies, so it's probably been said, but Tesla has known about these new batteries BEFORE they announced the CyberTruck. Meaning they already were calculating the new batteries into the specs and pricing. Sure, they were probably low-balling just a bit to be safe...
I agree if you are only on a short road trip, unhooking wouldn't be a big deal....but if you are really trying to log some miles cross country...it would get old quick. I'm also thinking not just for myself as I will get a CT and never use an ICE...but if we're trying to get the ICE truck guy to...
I'm sure many of you are wondering how Tesla is going to handle Towing & Charging once a million CyberTrucks are on the road.
As it stands now, very few Superchargers offer a good solution. Lots of SCs don't have any towing slots, some only have 1 slot.
As we know, when towing you will have...
As someone who's given nearly 3000 Uber & Lyft rides in a Tesla, 99% of the worry is just overactive imagination. Which is fine because all those worried won't use theirs as such and will allow those who want or need to make the extra $$ that much more profitable.
Also, as the owner, you have...
Lol. Ok great, you found the one use case where a Landcruiser might be better. The CyberTruck kills it in almost every other situation. And not too sure how many people go to South America on an adventure like that. Sounds super fun, but 99.99% of the US population isn't doing that ever in...
