If I had to take a guess, I would say the tires are Goodyear wrangler territory RT or MT tires. Goodyear did the custom tires for the prototype that sidewall matched the hubcaps. This sidewall looks like it might match the wranger territory.
Let's hope the CT is more performant in all categories...that means more range and efficiency, which I really want. I was just using the R1T, which is more the size of a Tacoma as a benchmark. The CT from all accounts is larger than the CT in width. I'm not sure about height. I will be very...
Out of Spec Reviews Youtube channel did highway speed loop tests on range for both Rivian and Ford. I believe they were in the 2mi/kwh range. To be exact, Rivian R1T was 2.15 mi/kwh on that test. The R1T is smaller than the CT, but let's assume the CT will get the same 2.15 mi/kwh on the...
One thing to keep in mind, though is that Chevy has put out a lot of material and produced a pretty show model. They haven't done any videos showing a true working prototype. All the video of the silverado in motion are CG, and they don't even let people other than GM lift and raise the...
I really like the Silverado EV. The styling, functionality, 4 wheel steering, etc. It's not as fast as the CT, but would still be quite quick and from all the videos I have watched that talk about it, I think GM/Chevy have built it on a good platform. Let's be honest the Ultium platform at...
I love it when someone responds sarcastically with no meat behind it to convey the sense they are smart, when actually they are just a smart_a$$. Actually my statement does explain it, but you have to read between the line. The rounded edges do help maintain flow attachment for shapes that are...
Drag coefficient is dominated by two things in vehicles: Frontal area and how well the flow stays attached as it gets to the rear of the vehicle...or in other words how you can reduce the area that sees positive pressure on the front side and reduce the negative pressure on the backside. The...
One other notable difference is the front bumper is now rounded for whatever reason which also detracts from the prismatic aesthetic. I really, really hope this is some Frankendesign mashup of different ideas they are wanting to test out and not the final design.
I hate the look of the curved windshield. Go back to flat panel please...if the change was for aesthetics, it was a fail.
I sure hope that Tesla is just testing out some things on the wiper. I can't tell if it is a wiper that travels on an arc or straight left to right. If left to right, like...
I agree that most skid plates on trucks and jeeps are metal, but for SxS the best skid plates are 3/8'' or 1/2'' UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) plastic. It's quieter and more durable thank aluminum. It definitely protects from boulders, etcj as mine has protected my ranger from countless...
There was a photo on the second floor, but this one appears to be on the bottom floor. Look to the right and it is at ground level, as evidenced by the ground water just outside the slab. I could be looking at it wrong :unsure:. I still believe it was from the same day, though.
Most buyers do their research on youtube these days. I know I do it for everything that costs significant money. I wanted to buy a new compound bow this year. I can find countless number of youtube channels that do reviews of every bow I might consider getting. When I buy a new vehicle, I do...
If the range for CT3 is lower than the 500+ that was promised at reveal, then I would consider cancelling my order. If I wanted a 300+ mile truck, I can just go get the F150 lightning or the GMC SilvErado when it comes out.
The other things I highly value from the CT that would get me thinking...
It seems to me that a lot of people don't realize how large a 35 x 12.5 tire is. On my 3/4 ton truck, I have to deflate the tire fully to get it to fit in the spare tire area. The F150 lightning comes with a 33" tire (32.8" diameter to be exact) and it barely fits in that compartment behind the...
What will come at delivery depends on how the CT wants to be perceived. Road truck or off-road capable... If they want a road truck perception, then they will offer the street tires other truck mfg. offer...you know...the ones that guys that hit dirt every once in a while get rid of...
