Before I get blasted, I still want the truck, it is the best on the market at the current price. Congrats to owners. I may still buy one, but the reservation system means nothing and I might as well take my family out for dinner. At least 1 of 3 things would have to change to help me...

I am a huge EV electrify everything fan so when I get lectures about how more range is not required I get annoyed. I am not trying to tow a home on wheels either. I don't want a 9000 lb vehicle 95% of the time either. Everyone has different criteria, but road trips that I dream about and...

The Scout Harvester concept is intriguing. It has the ability to add 150 miles of range to a 350 mile range BEV pack. I want to hear more. How big, what ICE tech? I am thinking this is the ~ 12 HP ICE that I have been lobbying for forever. It just needs to be big enough to take...

Normally I discount future battery news as Osborne effect FUD, but if Factorials announced 450Whr/kG with Mercedes is true for 2025 mass production, and an equivalent battery makes it way to the CT, an AWD CT will get 553 miles. The CT will remain nimble and bad ass overall. I don't...

Hopefully administrator can view this as an investor post rather than a political rant. After about 350 Whr/Kg @ $80 per kWhr it is game over ICE and game over hydrocarbons. We are so close and Tesla knows it. We don't need to ban coal. With the low cost of solar and wind and now stationary...

The EV truck segment is going to be so competitive in 2025. I would have placed a deposit today but I read it is non refundable if you get a call to configure. I can see them jacking the price like Tesla did and taking my measly $100 while trying to harvest the cream. I really want the CT...

I think it bodes well for Tesla and the Cyber Truck that both LG and Panasonic are diving into the 46 wide format. I was a little worried for a while with all the noise about solid state competition and getting passed up by BYD and other suppliers. My new feed is full of these "break...

With the recent news that batteries are not the limiting factor on the CT ramp I think we can expect the Range Extender any time. That is assuming it uses 4680 batteries. I really want to see the hackability of that connection. Did anyone recall from the tear downs if this was identified?

Hey Admin. Could you do a single thread for all the wraps to date so we can vote on them or just scan for our favorites? Thanks Tinker71

I accepted the terms and took my first couple drives. I am really impressed and will continue to test it while I have it. If they will issue new revisions every 2 weeks the few small bugs will work their way out. Look out TSLA stock. These are my initial observations and...

From Sandys tear down we learned that the CT battery pack can be removed and replaced fairly quickly by knowledgeable and equipped team. I think many of us expected a permanently mounted battery pack with adhesives. Were they concerned with warranty cost from failed packs or did they have...

I am personally torn. On one hand I would love to gain 2-3% range on the highway, eliminate a little noise, and not have to worry about them getting destroyed. On the other hand I might be trending towards the older inflexible stereo type. On my M3 I would feel weird not having them. The...

Putting aside a moment that it is still in Beta, I would contend: 1.) It is worth less than FSD on a car because the cost per passenger mile will be higher. (capital cost and operational efficiency) 2.) It is only worth as much as the best autopilot. We don't know how much the Tesla ride...

None of the changes really hurt the Roll Over Cab Camper. ROCC. In fact they made things easier. 1.) The 48vdc connection at the roof will allow for actuators to be installed for raising the hard lid, rolling forward and latching. Not to mention lighting. ( I struggled with manual...

I am obviously joking, but I live in the Wasatch Front in Utah. 2 millionish people with 2 Tesla dealers and I have not seen one. I am just curious how many people on the forum have never seen a CT in person up close.

I am pumped about the range extender. An engineered high amp connection to the main pack is a game changer. I usually own a vehicle for 10 years or more. With built in batteries you are limited to the tech at manufacturing. (although if battery tech really improves I could see people...

Why can the big 3 build something like this. BYD U8 1000+ HP electric AWD drive, 49 KWhr battery pack. 2.0 liter ICE Generator. It is $150k, but apparently a real luxury SUV. Most of your in town and daily drives could be all BEV, I bet 80% over the life of the vehicle. Range only...

FSD reduced to $12,000, Highland price is initially $500 higher than current M3. I think both of these are telling. 1.) Highland was supposedly cost reduction driven. It looks like an performance upgrade. It should cost less to build, but Tesla is going to charge more to start with for...

I just completed our annual pilgrimage to an unnamed lake in Idaho. 780 miles in one day in our Sienna with 250k miles. We normally do the return leg in 2 days but we are dropping our son off at college today. (last one) So if I get my CT by 8/1/25 can I make the trip easily? This...

If the rumors are true and the first released models only have 300 is miles of range. First of all I called it. Second there are going to be some disappointed reservation holders. Most of us won't need 500 miles of range except for 10?? days per year. Personally our big family vacation is...
