No body damage or glass damage to be found. However, the weak point is the tonneau cover. It did take from what I can tell 4 visible dents on it. For others if you may find yourself with enough warning, I would recommend opening up the cover to prevent damage during a hail storm to protect...
I can trust FSD almost all of the times except for when another driver does something stupid. Primary them cutting in front of me as a blind spot lane change maneuver. I have taken over control every time this has occurred (that I am aware of). Any feedback on how it handles the situation for...
So solar was just installed on my home and I would love some input from those more experienced.
At peak sunlight hours I overproduce power from my solar system (w/ 1 Powerwall 3) depending on when air conditioner kicks off. Rather than sending the excess power back to the power company where I...
An the past week I have noticed that my Cyberbeast while on FSD is doing some rather strange behavior. When it encounters skid marks or burnout marks on the roads it does a rather aggressive swerve to avoid them. I have also had it swerve rather hard when a car floor mat was also on the...
Regarding the Safety Score that drives your monthly payment.
Pros:
Acceleration is not a metric.
Speeding seems to be static based and not based on road limits. IE, something like 85+ mph creates a ding. It is pretty forgiving.
Cons:
Traffic aware cruise control will constantly ding you...
From Bradley IL (60915) to Willow Grove Camp ground TN.
Mostly traveled speed limit to +5 for the entire trip.
Roughly 800lbs of gear filling the entire bed of the truck along with a few items filling the back seat floor area and running on ATV tires reading 49psi.
Standard mode the entire...
Being the panels are just glued to the inner high strength steel support structures then hung on to the vehicle does anyone concerns that the inner structures are going to rust out over time? The seams visually from what I have seen do not protect from ingress of water on to the inner supports...
Now how can I convince ComEd that my CyberTruck is a energy storage device? Reading the PDF I am not finding any information requiring it to be stationary or fixed to the dwelling or property.
My impressions:
As I understood it, the Chicago CT within the past few days got transferred to Naperville, IL. So me and wifey (12/11) headed to Orland Park, IL to take a test drive of a Model Y LR which we ordered but decided after to go visit the Naperville store front (30 mins away) for...
I know I am guilty of composing work emails a day or two prior where I though I clicked the send button but had so many windows open that it went for awhile but this looks like it went farther that that.

Just running some numbers and if:
US Model 3 RWD (50Kwh battery) that now sells for $40,390
30% profit margin brings the cost to manufacture to $28,273
EV Manufacturer incentives of $35 per KWh reduces the cost by $1,750 (if I am not mistaken)
This brings cost to manufacture it down to $26,523...
A question about switching from 400v to 800v was posed to team Tesla. Elon and team mentioned it was not worth it to convert the existing vehicles over to 800v for a $100 per car savings. They went on to say 800v would be more useful for heavy load vehicles such as the Semi and CT.
So gleam...
If you haven't seen this guys videos, check them out. He produces about 3-4 per day, so a lot of content at about ~10-20mins per video. Very likeable enough personality and provides pretty current and up to date EV info covering most all aspects. You won't find much hate from the fella so its...
If you think prospective customers are eagerly waiting for final CT specs, imagine how badly the OEM competition is waiting, lol.
The OEM's are totally left in the dark at this point and unable to even plan for what they need to compete against.
I am going to predict a few of the toughest...
Has anyone given any thought if the existing 6 Gigaton press can handle the front clip of the CT? I could see the 8 Gigaton ton press being absolutely required for the rear end but I do question if that would be required for the front end? If the 6 Gigaton press can handle the front end, that...
Being the profit margins for the FSD equipped CT are way higher being it costs Tesla the same amount to manufacture with or without the option I could see Tesla going this route. What are your thoughts? Being it's going to take some time before they can backfill the Tri CT's I would not be...
