I hope that the Tesla Semi will not get the same kind of tale as the Cybertruck...
The Semi, being a commercial vehicle, has different expectations (efficiency, reliability for fleets), but it also deals with range anxiety, charging infrastructure, and proving real-world cost-savings, needing...
I often drive at night on highways between major cities,
and I call tell you that many truck drivers put tons of lights
all around their semi-cabine and trailer.
I hope Tesla will make a smaller version of the Semi as a heavy duty Class 4, 5, or 6 truck (like F-450, 5500 Ram, etc.) with dual rear wheels (dually) and the possibility to instal a Gooseneck Hitch.
Tesla should absolutely make a shorter 3-row SUV version of the Cybertruck.
I think this could be a very successful vehicle, like the Rivian R1S outselling the R1T over three times.
Not everyone has the use of a pickup truck, while a roomy cabin version would be very popular.
Also all the...
One issue, is if you park the trailer under the sun for getting solar energy from the solar panels installed on the roof of the trailer, then will have to use the HVAC during the day .
So it could be useful to instal a switch to use external solar panels exposed to the sun, instead of the solar...
1. Really interested having an additional dashcam to get continuous recording,
because the Teslacam only stores recordings when triggered, like using a horn,
but often I which I was able to retrieve an older event.
2. Something I noticed with the Teslacam recording is that the front camera...
Valuable camping trip experience with the Pebble Flow: (I wish I could rent one)
World's First Pebble Flow Review (Electric Travel Trailer Camping Experience)
Very commonly people get a new car after 5 years or 60k miles,
thereafter a car is more difficult to sale or you don't get too much value for it.
It doesn't mean than a car is bad, it just a financial decision between
maximising resale value and future repair costs, mostly transmission work...
In Texas, you only pay sales tax on the difference between the new vehicle's price and your trade-in's value, a significant tax credit that applies only when you trade it in at the same dealership where you buy the new vehicle, not if you sell it privately.
If you trade-in your RWD Cybertruck...
I would not be surprised if in about 10 years, insurances would force cars to use ADAS and have dashcams.
No more Saturday night drunk drivers entering freeways using the wrong exit.
Why?
I noticed that when using FSD, I am the only one going at the speed limit or stopping at a stop sign !!!
For city driving, I basically only take over when making a left turn at a busy intersection with no separate lane and green arrow light. Left turns are always a little bit scary, but...

I noticed this 2024 CT for sale on car.com with a polarizing Blue Sky wrap color.
Something interesting is that the door jambs get also wrapped.
This must require some extra work for removing and disassemble the doors.
But the result is quite outstanding and looks like made for a car show ...
I previously ordered a CCS-1 Adapter directly from the Korean Tesla website around May 2022, using a local Korean address and then forwarded it to my US address. This was before Tesla US was providing it online.
So I suspect that the Korean Tesla website will provide this particular CT CSS-1...
I kind of agree, why not having collapsible legs located outside of the bed.
So it would be then just a matter of lowering the suspension to have the tent platform out of the bed, and it would be even more stable when the tent is above ground.
This would free space in the bed, especially to...
Actually, the Look out from the previous posting might be more toward the Lake Tahoe.
I was thinking in fact about: The Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness, California
