the driver was still inside, so he likely opened it. Does make me wonder if thereās a way to lock yourself or someone into the bed. Like with trunks and drinks they have a safety door release. They should have one inside the bed.
Maybe Tesla purposefully doesnāt list accurate info on the screen for any leaked images/video. That remaining time 55min doesnāt make sense. Maybe explains why some testers get stranded with skewed info haha.
They probably just removed it from the Model Y agreement as it was on that document that āleakedā. Theyāll probably make a new CT agreement and have similar language.
Honestly 1 year doesnāt matter much. In 1 year they will still sell over sticker I assume. Tesla wonāt make more than 50k trucks in first year. Even if itās 100k trucks. There are hundreds of thousands of reservations waiting for years still.
Does anyone know if this becomes the case that Tri-Motor base model qualifies for EV Tax Credit, what if you select one option, be it wheels, FSD, etc, and it goes over $80k, do you lose the credit? Or would any added options, or even taxes, title, etc not count in the EV tax credit limit and it...
Given the fact that basically only one Release Candidate has been spotted towing a trailer, I donāt feel strong that theyāre really testing or trying to prove anything yet with towing. Which may mean 500 mile version is not out initiallyā¦.
So based on that articles assumptions, if 4680 batteries were SOLELY used for CT, they can make 600 a week (to start). They made about 500-1,000 M3 in the first year when they started in 2017. So not a bad start up production assumption. But what other model of Tesla will use 4680 batteries too...
That hood gap still looks pretty wide š§ definitely not sticking out like earlier RCs, but a bigger gap than all the other door gaps where itās noticeable. Looks clean tho!
What surprised me is the size of the Frunk, that itās more luxurious feeling than S/X, and that the glass is āregularā?. I mean will it still prevent a bearing going through?
Honestly I donāt care personally, but I would have thought they wouldnāt go to worse performance than their claim and...
Honestly it makes sense. Iām sure those trim levels changed or will be called something else. Or have multiple versions of each motor (ranges, performance, etc). So if Tesla plans to allow everyone to āre-configureā when itās their turn anyway, whatās the point in keeping their original...
Both my reservations now say āYou cannot edit design at this timeā (instead of before saying what motor/package I selected). I have RN numbers approx 5,500 (tri)
and 280,000 (dual)
I have had the original wipers on my M3 for 5 years. Not one streak shows when needed, still great. They sure know how to make/source them haha. I havenāt had to change ANYTHING on my M3, not brakes, never had to refill wiper fluid either. Itās crazy. 100,000 miles. Actually, Only the stock...
from what I recall, you get a VIN assigned while youāre still finalizing financing and payment and actual delivery. So thatās not an issue. Your assigned a vin and it waits for you.
And also your point about Europeā¦.well I assume they will prioritize US first since CT is made in Austin TX. My...
Just sharing experience with Model 3 delivery time.
First Delivery event was July 2017. Mine was delivered July 2018 (one year later). And I had VIN around 56,000. So thatās about 1,000 built a week for first year. 5-6 Months later I got another M3 that had VIN 112,000. So about 2,000 a week...
