While we have a Model 3, I’m driving my dinged 2008 Nissan Qashqai to the ground or just until I get a CT. I love a car I don’t have to think about the paint on. EDIT: Btw Here are the “beauties” in the spring sun right now! A CT would fit right in here as the beast! (We used to have the...

I have only seen mostly older back-in and newer pull-through superchargers here in Norway, and thought pull-through would be brilliant for both the CT and my Model 3 with trailer. While the stalls in the pull-through a are fairly roomy, if you’re thinking of the CT with *really* big trailers...

Yep, all superchargers built since late 2018 which I have visited in Norway have been pull-through (except one because of the oblong lot). Several previously built ones as well. May have something to do with the popularity of small trailers and that few ordered a Model 3 (or X and Y) without a...

Yes, I know what objective means, hence the “warning” that my reply was “not non-subjective” and making it clear it was just my personal experience by using “in my experience” several times, exactly in lieu of any existing objective measure. Except for the vague Sandy Munro reference (in which...

My Tesla Model 3 has a standard CCS connector and so does the superchargers (and all other fast chargers) here so the Tesla home charger is my only point of reference for a smaller plug. Although the CCS supercharger plug is bigger it’s not noticeably heavier or something I think about when...

They *had*. It’s not non-subjective at all but my early 2019 Model 3 had a back side door that stuck out 0.7cm and a rear light which was much rougher around the edges than the other. Easily visible on close inspection. I’ve bought new cars before and have never experienced anything quite as...

I’d pony up a fair amount more to get Tesla to commit to shipping the CT (as is) to Europe (Norway). I can see why it would be more important to see how serious the preorder holders over here were before starting a whole export operation on the CT production lines. I assume our prices will also...

I know that. I’m apparently driving through a mountainous woodland wilderness on my way to the cabin too and the autopilot begrudgingly accepts the markings and the cameras in that I am in fact driving on a new highway, but it freaks out now and again based on map data of old roads which used to...

Also the system double checks with the mapping data that there is actually a tunnel there (also why would the road go there if it wasn’t?). If the tunnel is closed for some reason the car can get real-time traffic data and see the warning lights and signs. It’s the same reason some hooligans...

What was said about intrinsic value and market penetration above, plus that the CT is potentially a very high mass market vehicle, of the greatest car market, if the price is right. Then you can split factory costs and R&D on a magnitude more vehicles than you can with the flagship Model S. The...

? I thought you were going to say you’d have to have the solar option, *and* direct sun, to be able to open the door. I don’t think mechanical springs in known materials are very fitting for propulsion of a vehicle with the range and all the (safety) features we are used to today.

I believe Franz covered the loosening of an iced door in the presentation..

I didn’t know! Thanks! I added my wife before that apparently and it was an email process that took a week. Still, I assume this gives full access as the article states “as an owner” and my point thus still stands whether one should give such access to temporary borrowers. Until there’s a...

Oh, I wouldn’t register the app on anybody else (unless they come up with a “guest” option in it in the future). The very few times I’ve lent out my Model 3 (for family to test or for a guy to wash it) I give them the card. Only the wife and I have access to the car in the app. You can limit...

Yes, I would suggest to do it formally with a deposit. There’s luckily no clutch on the CT and I cant see it being easily stolen or chopped for parts, but there’s small things that can happen with children in the car which should be reimbursed if it happens, plus it’s tempting to get off the...

Yes, with that kind of car I am in danger of you being on your own road trips ? In that case I’ll chime in when there and see if I’m lucky enough to be able to meet up and see your CT somewhere at least ?

I see from the article what you are talking about now. Of course there’s more than one camera in one direction with different eye settings like zoom etc. Crissa said as much I just didn’t connect. Doesn’t look like there’s any limitation for the mentioned 360 view feature either, but their focus...

Hi, we’re still just doodling a possible roadtrip on the west coast of USA in the summer of 2022 or 2023. As it’s not sure the CT even gets to Norway it would have been really fun to rent a CT from one of you guys. We’re a family of four from Norway and used to Teslas. It would be for a week or...

Either way I’m sure Tesla is thinking of it and have sketches of a SUV. It’s just a question of where in the future pipeline and the success of the preceding models. Assuming they don’t think SUV is a deadend car type they can replace with other specialty types. I wouldn’t think it’s concrete...

Interesting about lidar. And yes a composite view would be an improvement over our two eyes pretty close together. But I’m pretty sure I haven’t thought this through, but I thought none of the cameras overlap each other and that was one of the reasons we didn’t get a 360° view on the Teslas...
