3 motor CT reserved here. I can hardly wait. It is a lot bigger than my current ride (Prius) so I will rent a big F150 for a week or so before CT arrives.
Life will get easier. CT will be easy to see in the parking lot full of F150, SUV, and Prius around here.
I am a bit of a math and spread...
Any Scientific Wild Ass Guesses about the tri-motor will really need to have the 500 mile range and 0-60 in 2.9? SWAGs about what might increase highway range? Lower 0-60? My use will probably be 90% road, 5% gravel, and 5% nasty to scare people. I am willing to forego the nasty if it makes a...
Another idea: Why the focus on 3 motors, 600 mile range, 0-60 in 2.9?
For another 10-20k$ give me 4 motors, 800 miles, 2.3 seconds. And add a prop if the beast really floats. A titanium instead of stainless option to increase range and improve 0-60? This will be the last vehicle in my life. I...
IF Quad motor makes the CT faster and increases the range I will gladly pay the incremental cost over the Tri Motor I have reserved. It is excessive. I welcome more excess. I am old and scrimped for decades to have fun in retirement. I WANT a 4 motor CT with rockets. NOW.
I am a 'lowly buyer' I am buying my 3motor CT not for the towing (it has been years since I have towed anything) or for the bed capacity (I do not recall buying 3500 lbs of groceries).
To me the big draws are THE LOOK: The most radical look in town. THE 0-60 (smoke clueless teens in Camaros).
Why a steering wheel? Why not a joystick. Also gets rid of the gear selector clutter. Even better, what about a neural interface? I would sign up for the implant. Pickup folks are SO retro!
If Tesla does this and makes the CT look like a trashy Rivan I will cancel my 3 motor order. I do NOT want something that looks like an inferior rival.
I am 71YO, probably 73YO when my trimtor CT arrives. If I do not get approved for the 2024 Mars Colonization, the CT is my next most exciting option. Looks like a DeLorean with no cocaine risk, smokes Pesky Porsches, can haul or tow darned near anything. LOVE dog mode. Now PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...
It would please me if GM perished today. The Corvette is the only worthwhile product they produce. Let Ford survive. T F Series pickups are the best available for those without the courage and wisdom to buy a CT.
Tesla should make the Trimotor available ASAP for all those who want it. Drop or reduce production of all other models ASAP to enable this. And give me a rocket option.
I would prefer ANY smaller option if it kept the same battery and motor options. I am buying the CT not because of its massive size, but because it is so fast. If 0-60 at 2.9 goes down I will be even more excited.
I want the original. It is a DeLorean without the expensive cocaine. It is BlaedeRunner. I would buy the original brushed stainless even if it was an extra cost option.
The (3 motor) CT will be my first truck since a 1998 Tacoma that was in fine shape when I sold it in 2015. It be my first EV. It will be by far my largest vehicle ever (current is a 2014 Prius). I liked the Tacoma (2WD, V6, 5speed) but the CT really excites me. I always wanted a Delorean but...
