Please quote me where I say “it would be $X because the MSP+ was”. Also, wtf are you talking about insurance?

What makes you think I have a problem? And what makes you think I want to pay more? If you don’t have a perspective or something of value to bring to the conversation, why post at all? As for “Elon himself said”, well Elon says a lot of things... I don’t doubt it’ll be 70k, I do doubt it’ll...

Perhaps to a certain extent, but Tesla is past the part of their life where their focus is one of milking money from halo cars to cover R&D. (OK, maybe except for the Roadster) Tesla is all about volume now. There’s a reason why all you hear about is how many cars Tesla is shipping any given...

yeah, that’s a good point about the quantity produced. Just seems like the overall cost to build each vehicle would be roughly the same. If the price of the CT were 100k, I could see it, but dang it’s such a massive difference in price. I’ll be thrilled if Tesla delivers what they say they’re...

I just can’t wrap my head around how Tesla is going to charge “only” $70k for the tri-motor CT when the refreshed Model S Plaid+ Is going for. $145,000 to start. They both are going to share the same battery architecture (and have the same 500+ miles of range). They both have air suspension...

Anyone recall how far out from production we saw images of final design exterior/interior of other Tesla Models? I seem to recall we were seeing tons of different test mule “spy shots” of Model Y about 6-months out. From everything we’ve heard, it sounds like the CT that is out there now is...

I think the main issue with this would be - how do you do it safely? To etch steel, you need a Class 4 laser. There are very tight safety regulations with Class 4 lasers. Those things will blind you faster than a Red Ryder BB Gun. Even a reflected beam off a surface can ruin your life. They must...

I think you mean hot colors... I’ll show myself out.

I expect there to be two options: Rugged - This would be your utilitarian, take a hose to it work truck version. Marine grade vinyl seats, no carpet, or easily removed carpet etc. Luxury - This would be a higher quality finish out that will have at least two color options, but will not have the...

Probably super cost prohibitive since you’d have to disassemble the truck. No plastic bits are going to survive that heat. I also don’t believe we’ve received word if there will be any type of protective coating over the steal or if it’ll be raw. Just the trial and error to get it right would be...

I’ve seen countless airstreams on the road that are highly polished. It’s cool for a vintage trailer. For a CT? Man, I don’t know. To each there own, just remember, that “mod” is likely permanent. When the day comes to get rid of your CT many a buyer might see what you did as ruining it.

1. Lifestyle vehicle - I tend to own two vehicles. One sports car and one utility vehicle for light off-road capabilities. To me, The CT is the first EV that checks one of those boxes. 2. Range - I’ve always told myself I’m holding off on getting an EV until I can go a full day’s road trip on...

RE: Wrapping a car - Wrapping a car isn’t overly difficult. Wrapping a car well is very difficult. To do it correctly, you often need to remove body panels and bumpers. There’s a reason a good wrap job runs $3k+. Given the size, I wouldn’t be shocked at all to get quotes of $4k+ to wrap a...
