Before Tesla attempts to build another truck they should at least make an effort to understand the truck market better.
They got a lot of pre orders due to its price and usability. What they ended up producing was anything but.
They have made their bed with the idea that 300 miles of range is...
I have said this over and over, but reducing price is not going to bring a lot of new buyers in.
I have still yet to see an influencer or reviewer who is using the truck in a manner most people I know want to use it.
If the 4680 is the most economical battery out there Tesla would be by far...
I had no plans to actually buy FSD, I reserved it because I figured they would deliver to FSD holders first and at that time I was willing to pay the $7k to move a little ahead in line.
Much has changed since then.
The price of the truck skyrocketed, and it didn't meet the tech specs.
Look...
I addressed this in another thread, but bonding plastic to metal is not the best idea, particularly in an environment where vibration is an issue, such as this trim peice where buffering off the windshield and mirrors.
Despite advances in adhesives, the problem lies in the fact the most metals...
I think it looks great. When comparing to the other campers it offers some advantages, and some disadvantages.
The primary disadvantage seems to be that it cost twice as much. The Urander cap is $3000, the Cybertruckco one is around $4000 after the discount code.
This one is $6500, and...
In my experience with Steel, a simple abrasion with P80 and cleaning with Methyl Ethyl Keytone doesn't cut it.
Often times and intermediary substance with high absorption is used, such as thin strips of ABS.
Also, the Steel should be sandblasted.
Im sure in whatever lab it is tested in, it...
Are the solar panels attached to the roof while you are driving?
How do they handle the wind while driving?
I was considering a similar solution with my A-Liner as I can get 4-500W panels on the roof of the camper.
My hope is that the reason it has to be installed at a service center and is not removable is because the entire bed has to be swapped out.
Even with the cover rolled ip and the air compressor, there is plenty of room between the bed and structural components.
Maybe you loose a couple of...
I got my invite in the 5/28 emails batches, but have held off on making a reservation. Despite this, my estimated delivery date in still Aug/Sept for the Dual motor and Oct-Dec for the Beast.
I wonder if people who gave received FS invites but have not placed an order will get first dibs on the standard builds, or if they will reset the queue.
I understand that option. My question is more along the lines of I need the truck for work.
In order to do that I would need the truck before October, which fits my delivery options.
However I need to make sure that one of the roof rack options is available and I need to sell the previous...
I am in the 11344 range and was sent an email last night.
Does anyone know how long you can leave that order open ended, and does Tesla close that reservation option after a period of time.
It's probably going to take me a month or so to iron things out.
