The only reason I come to this site anymore is to see if my daily CT news scouring looking for info on the solar cover missed something. So far. Missed nothing. Still waiting for breaking news on this solar cover that may make or break my purchase decision.

112744100 reservation. I watched the reveal live online in CO, and I reserved the day after. Some of the reservation numbers mentioned in this thread are later then mine but the people are saying they reserved during the reveal. I think some people are misremembering when they reserved. I...

SC's will probably never be as plentiful as gas stations today. People charge at home most of the time, so there is not a good reason to put a charger on every major intersection and in every neighborhood. The SC network will control grow, but people said that 4 years ago too when I was...

Actually I want to edit this comment and say most of the time the desire to maintain a healthy battery will also be the case. So more often then not the state of charge will also limit the range, with the AT tires and battery degradation.

True, but the tires and battery degradation will simultaneous, while the state of charge and weather will vary and can sometimes be worked around or planned for and other other times not.

1. To maximize the health of your EV battery you should not fully charge nor fully discharge it. 2. CT EPA estimates are based off HT vs AT tires 3. Tesla's EPA estimates are just a little inflated because of the way they calculate their EPA range vs the competition. 3. All vehicles to include...

The way Tesla designed the range extender is a no go for me. So regarding the CT I'm giving up hope on a 500 mile variant and I'm hoping RAM comes through at a reasonable price. I'm still interested in the CT with the solar cover option. It can't be too expensive and I still want the CT...

I'm not ignorant. I've been here for 4 years. I work with people that drive EVs and we talk often. I'm well aware of the SC network, and ABRP, and my own driving habits and use case scenarios. Again, I'm not telling you what you need or questioning your driving needs and use cases. Don't...

According to the unofficial tracker...39% of the reservations were for the 500-mile variant. That's more than a few. The point is that there is demand for a 500-mile variant. they knew that 4 years ago. That's why they had it as a reservation option. All the manufacturers still know it. That...

I don't know about promised, but the cover was mentioned just prior to the delivery event as being an option or accessory. No details since. I want it for when I'm not at home or near a SC. Yeah, a genius idea that takes away a good portion of an already smaller bed (by comparison to my...

...yeah, I'm going to switch from a CT to an Aptera. Totally comparable vehicles. /S I never said I wanted a solar-powered vehicle. Just looking for more information on the mentioned solar cover. The range isn't what I need, and the range extender they are offering is a hard pass from me. If...

This is what I'm talking about. I didn't ask for info on a solar tonneau cover.

Yeah...this is the news that broke the info...but no news, images, reviews, drawings, pricing, specs, capabilities, statements made since then.

Still looking and can't find shit. Was this just more lip service?

Has there been any news, images, reviews, drawings, pricing, specs, capabilities, statements made....anything at all on the solar cover? It is by far the most interesting accessory to me.

They are not misleading. We all know they were an estimate and now the price is a fact (subject to change). It just happens to be a fact that their estimate was up to 60% off which is highly unfortunate if they were truly trying to make a full-size mass market EV truck.

When trying to make a point, I think clarity and brevity are key. I don't know if I can do that regarding what happened yesterday, to include some of the comments here since then. I don't own an EV. I've only driven 3/4 ton and 1/2 ton trucks with 8' or 6.5' ft beds for the last 24+ years and...

Cherry pick two specs? You mean price and range, the two most important specs since day 1 of EV's trying to make a case for themselves. They made a case at the 19' reveal and then failed to make the same case at the delivery. We can easily buy 500+ mile range, full size truck, 4x4 and add...

No, the point is that this pricing for this range, isn't going to disrupt the ICE truck market.

And those are flying off the shelf...
