Euro: The 13-pin plug on my Model 3 is for «normal» trailers, also with brakes but without EBS (electronic brake system). Although pin 12 is reserved for future use according to the ISO-standard. But I would hope the CT would come with the 7-pin trailer connector (ISO 7638-2) for heavy-duty...

True. I was thinking more in marketing terms when you price a very basic base model with little profit or even at a loss but the options/version 99% people need pulls up the profit margin to an acceptable level. A very few (hopefully) will still get the basic base model though, but maybe tell...

Isn’t also the theory when you are at a certain volume that you subsidize the cheapest models with higher margins on the more premium models in order to get in all the customers?

Oh. I thought the rear view camera was at the rear like other cars. Just because the tonneau cover blocks the view from the cabin all the way to the rear. A camera on top before the vault would miss a lot just behind the tall rear end. But as has been said they could be smart about it with a...

It’s maybe nothing but why would he add that he was just in the studio, when he previously said the design was finalized a little while ago. Surely they’re not finalized before he gives them his go. From which time he would not see anything new in the studio concerning CT. Maybe not as finished...

I would think there are between 60,000 to 100,000 preorders from Europe which you guys can disregard. Between 6,000 and 10,000 preorders in Norway according to different articles referring to Tesla Norway. There’s no way they will start to fulfill these as long as there’s an “insatiable” demand...

Many of you are truck guys with higher and more specific demands than me, but this may apply to someone else here apart from me: I preordered the CT because of range, price, looks, space (seats+vault), stainless steel durability, and lastly capability in snow and *light* off-roading. The Rivian...

Agreed. Have driven much more in the Model 3 than any other car. Had I had an EV before 2017 it would have been a small city EV as a second car.

This is my hometown and where I worked as a (golden) car retriever all day on the ships. Not any Teslas back then unfortunately, or fortunately perhaps as I would be out of work if the cars could just be summoned off?

I don’t know where you get your numbers (76,789 EVs (excluding hybrids) were sold here in 2020) or why it’s so threatening and enraging that Norway likes EVs. Especially odd on a EV forum and when Norway most prefers American EVs (Teslas). But, yes the numbers say Norwegians buy much more EVs...

It’s China by far in absolute numbers. It says so in the article as well. The chart however is for biggest EV share of new cars sold. It’s supposed to say something about sentiment/predilection and incentives/policy in the society, not within which borders produced EVs are going. And China still...

I wish urban camouflage wrap actually worked ?

??♥️ ?(+??)

Do you really think our euro orders will allow us to pick up in the USA? There are also differences between the US and euro Model 3 cars due to regulations, which may be the same with the CT (assuming it’s allowed at all in Europe). But actually “used” American cars are sometimes given a pass...

I said “hood or in front window” where for the latter I should have used windshield. Totally agree with the road wildlife dangers.

This may have been mentioned but you get these as film with a small cable in the corner too. We’re going to have the dark type for the full height windows in a new part of the house, and milky white in the plant growing (orangerie) part. With opposite no-voltage state. Wouldn’t look good...

Thats a good point. Not getting a moose/elk crushing the hood or in the front window is a big plus. A very common road warning sign here. And instant death by shifting it 5-10 meters into the air before it hitting the asphalt behind is maybe more humane ... ??

I’m sorry you have a closer relationship with that specific metric. When it comes to driving around in such an alien beast, it was pretty annoying how people stood watching in the windows of my Model 3 when I first got it too. Some people even followed me into parking lots for a closer look...

The hammer was enough (and the not as easily cracked window had it worked). Dents are a more familiar metric to most people. Got a lot of attention from stating that other thing though.

Since CT is a six-seater and has a lockable vault it’s as much of a SUV/Van as I need. Also, a van version wouldn’t look like a rowdy Mars vehicle. Just think if a van was what they first launched. I don’t think it would have been as popular at all, first of all because it wouldn’t be an...
