CT will be fine. You'll see the blue snowflake a lot more in the winter when temps are <40. Preconditioning helps and if you care about efficiency, chill mode helps (doesn't heat the battery as much). Congrats on Bend though! That's an awesome town and would be near the top of my list of...

In NA, the 22-23 standard range/RWD cars a guaranteed to have the LFP. In late 21 the standard range cars got the LFP battery, but 21s had a mix. In 24, the early highland standard range (called RWD) had LFP, but Q2 (iffy on the exact timing) they switched over to a RWD with the full...

New: Y Standard AWD - 42k is a bargain for all that it offers. It hits a really nice sweet spot of price/capability. Used: 23 RWD 3 - They are coming in off leases with 10-35k mi and are ~22-24k. The LFP batteries are incredibly durable and will last a long time. The 23s had most of the kinks...

They do… they are gearing up for Berlin dry cell production and getting the assembly line ready for that model in a more price sensitive market where the new cells will help them. Berlin 4680 lines should be up and running by the end of the year. Fully ramped in mid 27. It was always an interim...

Brakes and cooling. Given you're in Florida, brakes are likely less of an issue as you won't have steep grades to go down. But 12k is a lot of weight. I think the factory pads are rather weak on repeated heavy braking. Most of my towing has lots of elevation changes so my experience likely...

The casting is way stronger than the rating, that would be the least of the concerns that I'd have at that weight.

Supposedly any ordered CT would apply as well, but having a salvage Tesla with FSD laying around for 6-12months waiting for a delivery doesn't seem all the feasible or realistic.

Frunk is likely the same and the L tracks are offered by Tesla as an add on now ($250). The power outlets in the bed are there, but the two in the console are not. Adding those and the rear screen could probably be done, but I wouldn't imagine it to be cheap utilizing Tesla components. On the...

Tesla would just scale back that pack if needed. The only reason that pack currently exists is that Tesla has a bunch of 4680 cells laying around (they've been well over 2x CT production rate for over a year now, dry cells since Q3), and they have an excess of production currently. The new Y...

As of today, it is just the RWD interior, you can find pics of that in the wild (linking to a thread here). The RWD had ambient lighting and the color is more of a dark grey than black. https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/long-range-rwd-delivery.48429/#post-30668793

Dry cells have already ramped well and far outpace CT production. Hence why the Y is getting a new 4680 pack.

There has to be a supplier spool up to fulfill these orders, and clearly the availability tracker just gave up (just says 2027 now). Clearly enough demand to continue to offer, now the question of if it is enough to add a shift in the fall when the suppliers catch up. Happy this is working and...

The best estimation here is that Tesla had a lot of RWD parts inventory. Decided to give a test run on the model. Whatever is to be delivered in the June/July window is just depleting that inventory. The Sept/Oct window is the time they need to give suppliers to spool their production back up...

The 21-25 S/X version is buggy and needs perfect calibration to work okay. It does make a difference in some very specific instances. It was a rather poor implementation of the technology. The recent refresh in 25 brought improvements and is on par or slightly better than Lexus vehicles. Who...

Everybody's insurance will be different, just ask your current company for a quote. Mine decreased from my M3P. Less than my wife's 25 Land Cruiser.

These parts are all likely leftovers from the canceled RWD trim, just paired with a front motor this go round.

Given the difference in most half ton trucks with towing packages vs not is typically stiffer rear springs, bigger front sway bar and cooling improvements, a relatively small amount of difference in the suspension causes some large differences in towing rating. IMO it is perfectly plausible and...

I’d add off-road use that needs more clearance. Which admittedly most people don’t need more than 10” of clearance, but that’s another use case where air suspension is better on the CT.

It is a matter of production line utilization. The line was built with 250k in mind over 3 shifts. So roughly 83k per. Add in some maintenance downtime and various things you get to 70-75k per shift. If this current price means they can fully utilize the line for a shift, then it is worth it...

You won’t get confirmation unless you pay for a teardown test from an engineering firm specializing in that.
