    Tesla "recalls" Autopilot on nearly all vehicles to add more alerts and controls

    Ah thats what that update did. Meanwhile I'm waiting 2 months now for the single Chevy EV tech within 75 miles of me to have an open time to perform the battery recall software update on my Bolt.

    What’s the word on 2024 deliveries? Production ramp up numbers?

    For that to be right, in the next 7 weeks (including holiday) they'd have to produce an average of ~1500/week starting MONDAY. Here in reality, Tesla will be lucky to be ramped to 1500/week by March. And I think thats an optimistic reality.

    Prediction: A slew of CT cancellations on the horizon

    You're right, "normal" OEMs rely on incentives and "cash on the hood" deals like Truck Month to make $10k price changes. Same effect, but rather than running a constant sale Tesla just changes the list price.

    Prediction: A slew of CT cancellations on the horizon

    I feel your pain. I bought a used 2018 Model X in 2021 - and its now lost an additional ~$45k in value. You can now get a new MX for just just a little more than I bought a 2018 used model for 2 years ago.

    Tesla Cybertruck towing range vs. gas & diesel trucks | dual motor

    I don't know why we're fighting because I generally like your posts, but -- I live here, in this state, and camp 1x/month or more for 9 months of the year. I've put 90k miles on EVs since 2018 driving around Michigan, and I am very first-hand intimately familiar with the charging situation here...

    Tesla Cybertruck towing range vs. gas & diesel trucks | dual motor

    Also, lets be a tad more realistic and not include anything less than 150kw on that map, because that's not "reasonable" for a general market. Take a look at northern Michigan and say again with the same confidence that you think this is good enough.

    Tesla Cybertruck towing range vs. gas & diesel trucks | dual motor

    Oh its getting better for sure, but its not there yet. I just had to get the CCS charging update to my Model X so I could visit relatives in the UP for a wedding, and had to sit for nearly 2 hours at a 50kw CCS charger with my kids. Doable, but...not enjoyable. There's really only 3 active...

    Tesla Cybertruck towing range vs. gas & diesel trucks | dual motor

    Agree heartily on the availability of charing. There are places in my home state I can't really visit due to distance from a supercharger, even without towing.

    CyberTruck Fleet Announcement (Speculative)

    IMO Tesla won't establish a true fleet motion until its no longer supply capped. Why spend capital and cause org headaches elsewhere to sell vehicles you can't make anyway at a lower margin? Tesla already has delivery headaches, the last thing they need is fleet-sized delivery headaches. But...

    🥊 Them's fighting words! Ford's Farley disses Cybertruck: 'I make trucks for real people who do real work'

    90% of these arguments will become resolved and clear once we know two things: 1) Price 2) Availability/volume produced Lifestyle vs "work" vs fleet, all that is quibbling over 10% of the sales equation. The value perception is already generated in a core audience, and will primarily be driven...

    🥊 Them's fighting words! Ford's Farley disses Cybertruck: 'I make trucks for real people who do real work'

    As a (former) auto-industry marketing professional, I can tell you the following are statements of fact: What the buying drivers are for vehicles is very well understood. In fact, frequently I know more about why someone is purchasing a specific vehicle than they do. Brand loyalty is also well...

    CyberQuad lives on!

    Racks and a winch are the two big things I use most frequently, and both would likely require frame and suspension modifications. This is a wild guess based on appearance only, but that suspension looks soft AF and I don't see a way to mount any sort of front racking. Maayyyybee a rear rack, but...

    CyberQuad lives on!

    I flipped a quad and nearly killed myself back in 1998. Now I stick to the safer stuff, like my 30-year-old no-name (I think it was a Coleman?) 3-wheeler I use to haul the manure cart around :LOL: TBH I was hoping for a utility quad, not a sport model. Something akin to a Sportsman. I'm with...

    I'm going to rent a Model 3. Any suggestions?

    Yeah its all car-based, but if you're getting an M3 from Hertz chances are its an LFP battery pack (almost all their M3 fleet is LFP) that should be 100% as frequently as possible.

    I'm going to rent a Model 3. Any suggestions?

    I rented a MY while my X was in the shop (from Hertz), and recently a M3LR (also from Hertz) while it was back in the shop for an unrelated reason. Both times it was a great experience. There is not a way (that I've seen) to pair the vehicle with the Tesla app. Due to that, you'll lose a lot of...

    So I am attempting to do a thing

    I haven't figured any of that out yet, tbh. Its very possible I come to the same conclusion and decide to just lipo the whole thing. Holding out hope I win the lottery and can just have my own personal Megapack.
