You will be cycling maybe 10-20% of your CT battery per day. Kind of equivalent to adding 30-40miles on the car battery life. Considering the battery is good for 500K miles your using up .008% of the pack life per day. This equates to 14.5K miles extra wear per year on the car battery.
Not...
I think the Powershare v3 gateway you are not getting is at least $2K as well. And maybe they won't include the wall connector? So really loosing $6K in value on a beast.
OUCH.
And it will have 500mi range. Just not gen1. Which can only get to 470 EPA miles by removing half the truck bed.
look - back in 2019 Tesla thought they had some battery breakthroughs that would dump cost and increase capacity. Decrease weight. There was a lot of battery buzz back then. But it...
Welcome to the world of being an early adopter. Nice to have you here. However your expectations are not aligned with the the regular early adopters like myself.
In 2019, Tesla showed us their truck CONCEPT. Not a production product. They built ONE prototype and shared their design goals...
A lot of happy Tesla employees getting their cars. I hope they switch to regular joes soon.
I’m guessing they are either missing a part or wanted to do more beta testing before a general release. Maybe bake the software some more.
If they don’t look bad, I’ll switch to the all season tires/wheels and gain 10% range later in the year. Works for my use case which has mild off road trails and more miles.
I think the current all terrain tires are the real culprit to the disappointing numbers
You will gain 10-15% in range with the stock tires available later this year. For now you have no choice with foundation.
I may swap to the all season tires once they are out depending on how bad they look
Don’t forget that the Foundation CTs have the all terrain tires. You can downgrade to the all seasons and gain another 10-15% in range. This should put it on par with the Rivian range.
In reference to ccs gate -
it’s a firmware and a new adapter away from working. It can work. It’s just a matter if Tesla wants it to work. Historically they’ve responded fairly well to customer demands. So this can happen.
in reference to FSD gate:
in its current beta form, it is not...
I believe actual delivery order will be based on when you placed your Foundation official order relative to others, as well as your location. I doubt the original RN plays any role in delivery after the real order is placed.
Meh. I’m looking forward to my CT being dirty and trucky. Last thing I want to do is put a wrap on it that can be damaged by rocks. Tear etc. I’m going to enjoy all the rawness of my CT.
