I am not hating on Ford.. Honestly I would make fun of ANY Major car company that made a press release saying they had doubled their sales on a model.. when that "Doubling" was 7,000 units. That is what we expect from rivian etc.. NOT from a company with over 100 years in the industry.
In Europe, laws and road widths vary by country; the minimum widths of lanes are generally between 2.5 to 3.25 m (8.2 to 10.7 ft)
n the United States, the Interstate Highway standards for the Interstate Highway System use a 12 ft (3.7 m)
Sooo european roads simply aren't really wide enough...
I would be exceptionally surprised. Every customer that drops a reservation is a dissatisfied customer.. .as a rule of thumb in sales you have to make 10 customers extremely happy for everyone you upset to break even. I do NOT think Tesla wants to upset that many customers.
IMHO they will...
a quad motor would enable you to have one motor per wheel.. while i don't think thee software would be there initially .. at slow speeds and with 4 wheel steering you can do LOTS of space saving tricks.. including tank turns.. diamon turns crab walks etc. it would just take a lot of software...
IMHO an international verision IS possible but it would indeed require a complete rework.. the truck is simply to wide for roads outside of north america.. and not sure there is the same demand over seas for a LARGE truck.. and lets not kid ourself at 22' long and just short of 80' wide that is...
i have a rule.. i never argue with guys that carry guns... the time to argue with the cop is monday in front of a judge flanked by a lawyer.. NOT on the street.
See now the lack of color/trim doesn't bother me at all.. if i want my car a different color i can get it wrapped or painted for almost the same price a premier paint would have cost from the dealer... trim level stuff is mostly the same.. tons of companies make all the cute stuff so you can...
see i am the opposite .. i almost never stay at a hotel.. if i am on the road i am generally either not going far.. or not staying at a hotel.. i can count on one hand the total number of hotel charges i have on one hand. So the only real destination charge i have is at my house...
with that...
Not really no.. i can go to a supercharger and charge my Y up to full in what 15-20 minutes a CT will prolly be half an hour unless it is a level 4 charger .. in which case.. don't order food you are NOT going to be there long!
so why would i want to choose a slower charge rate... find one with...
If i remember correctly.. the law in texas is either 2 side view mirrors or a rear view in the cab..
Will i remove mine.. prolly not as i don't wanna have to argue that with a cop that doesn't KNKOW the law and assumes they are required... since i was prolly speeding anyway.. no need to give...
THAT is awesome.. not sure where he gets his info but he is right more than he is wrong!!
If they are moving a full production lines worth of workers there in early july.. they are expecting that would mean to actually run a full line in mid to late july... 8) I AM STOKED..
actually i agree with Crissa ... i was VERY surprised to find out there is no set definition that defines what exactly a light truck is or a heavy duty.
8)
that is 100% correct they have released the specs for how you wire it.. NOT how they build their controllers or programs to keep track of what is available where. Tesla's job was to build a standard that would work for a long time.. and make sure everyone could build TO that standard they have...
for me.. it will be going to the same extreme.. again i am very self centered... for NON-Tesla owners.. it means that the existing ccs charging stations have a chance of surviving and there is a good chance that cars with small ranges and low charging rates may have a place to charge in the...
