My language is more Engrish ? So I realise I was talking about amber turn indicators. Haven’t seen any Tesla with red turn indicators.

In Europe Teslas have amber turn signals. Some American cars used to get special permission to have red turn signals but these days they are either converted by the importer or delivered with amber. My model 3 also has one white reverse light because cars also must have a red rear fog light...

Not here, but anyway the point was that it was notable that it suddenly wasn’t a fully electric vehicle that sold most.

We know, but most people don’t know or care about that. I was thinking more of branding and marketing. And the difference between GM Hummer and Ford F-150 EV and Mustang E-Mach, vs those European companies who have been very eager to drop long standing popular model names when going EV.

The Bollinger went out of my reach (and is not as interesting anymore) but the CT Trimotor is ball park in reach and very cheap here compared to similarly sized SUVs (trucks aren’t that common). There’s no engine pollution sales tax or VAT (25%) on EVs so it’s a good deal until the government...

I used to think GM was wrong to “just” upgrade the Hummer to an EV (marketing wise). A huge Hummer has been the literal opposite of an EV. But after learning about the US long standing massive truck market maybe that’s a better marketing strategy than the European companies that have broken with...

I can’t understand (max) half of what is said in this thread, but I am in awe of the knowledge here. And hope you are right in whatever the consensus of best solution for Tesla long term is.? /End intermission

Regarding the Ferrell/GM Super Bowl ad: I just read right now that the most sold car in Norway in January 2021 is NOT an EV for the first time in a year (Overall EVs win of course and it’s Audi e-Trons when Tesla is not shipping ). The most sold car in January is a Toyota RAV4 plugin-hybrid. I...

I’m a Ferrell fan, but we Norwegians do mostly buy *American* EVs though ... That’s Teslas. The GM brand has little standing here I think. The Bolt was briefly sold as an Opel. We tried to make an EV of our own called Think in the 90s which Ford bought and closed down I think.

I don’t know if bears would try to tear through a tent on top of a huge stainless steel structure, but yes, Sentry Mode flashes lights and what not.

He was somewhat a gushing fan at times, but also wasn’t afraid to criticize and come up with his preferred solutions at other times. Thumbs up. Should have insisted on some CT tidbits though.

I’m not that into Android but I see Volvo and Polestar have a customized Android system on their screens, which reviewers have been whining suspiciously little about.

Was Cybertruck mentioned at all? Before I saw it through I would have thought Munro would be all Cybertruck.

48V Power-over-ethernet I think was vaguely mentioned in the new interview. I guess less (theoretical) powerloss, less copper for same watts and power integrated in existing cheap standard of communications wires. I’m by no means an expert though. All may have been discussed before in the thread.

I’m not really interested in that myself either, but I assume they would get filmed by the interior camera and probably have to sign on to some terms and conditions when booking and probably a ... “reclaimable upfront fee” (don’t know what it’s called in English). It could get messy (in all...

I don’t know if it’s a Norwegian phenomenon but two superchargers close to me are reverse-to (backwards parking) but there are curb stones which you have to park a cm from and still pull on the cable to get it straight into the charge port. Newer ones are made to be “drive-through” on the side...

Almost all I have heard since the launch is that they ditched the small size reduction all over. Which sounds good. Hope they’re true to the prototype in most other regards as well. But I did also hear the “chine” on the side would be more level.... It’s such an unusual, spectacular and...

Do they also call it “steering control” rather than “steering wheel”? Else it may be down to semantics. The Tesla yoke is certainly not a “wheel” of any form if they’re going to be stubborn about it.

Anything by Kavinsky Very car (Testarossa and Outrun) oriented 80s retro synth music.

Interesting. First problem though is that I know of several superchargers around here where the cable won’t be able to reach the CT prototype charging port when parking as intended, let alone two cables.
