Silverado EV is built on the GM BT1 platform that underpins the sister GMC Sierra, Hummer pickup and Hummer SUV, and the (very awesome) Cadillac IQ. It will also be the platform for the 2026 Tahoe/Yukon and for the 2026 Suburban/Yukon XL if GM sticks to plans. This quarter GM sold just shy of...
These low volume vehicles are high volume platforms. The Hyundai/Kia eGMP platform, for example, is running 60,000 units a quarter. The TNGA-L underpins teh Lexus LC, Toyota Crown, and the LS. The eTNGA on the RZ is also the vehicle platform for the BZ, CHR, and Subaru. The Volvo EX30 shares...
You local Air Force recruiter needs to pay you for that or at least buy you a beer, it is going to get more than a few young folk's attention! It is nice to see something a little different and creative. Well done.
Yes though I have (and Kyle Tested on the 70 mph test) the 2024 Gen 1.5 dual motor which still had the 131 kwh large battery but picked up some efficiency gains and came in with 352 miles EPA range. Now with the smaller "large" pack on the Gen 2 it is rated at 330 and the max is at 420. The...
Noting that the 2024 model DM, Large on 21" wheels gets a 70mph range test of 345 mph so with no improvement on the charging curve from 2023 (which is incorrect, there have been gains) would look like this
And with Silverado for good measure.
I keep reading variations of this comment and I do not think the data supports it. The top 1% of households has a net worth of $11 million or more and the top 2% have a net worth of $2.7 million. So having a couple of $100k vehicles in your garage requires how much in net assets (I know it will...
In my experience, Geico is Neiman-Marcus pricing for dollar-store service. Progressive is Target pricing for Walmart service so at least it is roughly balanced. With Pure or Chubb you pay a lot, but you get something for your money. I was longing for those comforting words, "don't worry sir, we...
FWIW, we left Pure, went to Progressive to save money, and now we are back with Pure 12 months later. Someone bumped into our Model 3 while it was parked. I called progressive expecting them to behave like Pure. LOLOL. It got fixed, but the extra cost of Pure is worth taking the hassle away when...
There were lots of sources. Elon himself said at Battery Day in 2020 "The orders are gigantic, so, we have like, I don't know, well over half a million orders. I think maybe six-hundred thou -- it's a lot, basically. We stopped counting." and Franz said "more than a million" as part of his...
It is not propaganda, and I am not sure it is particularly unusual. Ford had 200,000 reservations for the Lightning before launch and it ended up selling 20,000 in the first 12 months after launch. A 5% - 10% conversion rate is pretty typical, it seems.
There are still plenty of CT reservation...
Battery pack prices are 20% lower today than they were in 2019.
Hot-rolled Coiled Steel was $703 / ton on April 1, 2019 and was $696 / ton on Friday.
I think this is less about inflation than about someone's cost model being a bit too optimistic...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is possible, of course, but on this thread and on the other, we have only seen one single, solitary person calming that they are still waiting for an invite. If there were still a significant waiting list, I would expect that at least a few more than one would be on the owners forum...
Try going to the Tesla web site on your desktop browser and login, click "manage" under your CT reservation and then "start designing." It should take you to the non-foundation design configurator.
It is a hypothesis. I say, let's ask the Forum.

It appears that Tesla has now invited all reservation holders to order non-FS versions. Are there any US reservation holders still waiting for an invite to order a non-FS version? If so (check your account first...), post your ~ reservation date and location below.
