Hey Admin. Could you do a single thread for all the wraps to date so we can vote on them or just scan for our favorites? Thanks Tinker71

I accepted the terms and took my first couple drives. I am really impressed and will continue to test it while I have it. If they will issue new revisions every 2 weeks the few small bugs will work their way out. Look out TSLA stock. These are my initial observations and...

From Sandys tear down we learned that the CT battery pack can be removed and replaced fairly quickly by knowledgeable and equipped team. I think many of us expected a permanently mounted battery pack with adhesives. Were they concerned with warranty cost from failed packs or did they have...

I am personally torn. On one hand I would love to gain 2-3% range on the highway, eliminate a little noise, and not have to worry about them getting destroyed. On the other hand I might be trending towards the older inflexible stereo type. On my M3 I would feel weird not having them. The...

Putting aside a moment that it is still in Beta, I would contend: 1.) It is worth less than FSD on a car because the cost per passenger mile will be higher. (capital cost and operational efficiency) 2.) It is only worth as much as the best autopilot. We don't know how much the Tesla ride...

None of the changes really hurt the Roll Over Cab Camper. ROCC. In fact they made things easier. 1.) The 48vdc connection at the roof will allow for actuators to be installed for raising the hard lid, rolling forward and latching. Not to mention lighting. ( I struggled with manual...

I am obviously joking, but I live in the Wasatch Front in Utah. 2 millionish people with 2 Tesla dealers and I have not seen one. I am just curious how many people on the forum have never seen a CT in person up close.

I am pumped about the range extender. An engineered high amp connection to the main pack is a game changer. I usually own a vehicle for 10 years or more. With built in batteries you are limited to the tech at manufacturing. (although if battery tech really improves I could see people...

Why can the big 3 build something like this. BYD U8 1000+ HP electric AWD drive, 49 KWhr battery pack. 2.0 liter ICE Generator. It is $150k, but apparently a real luxury SUV. Most of your in town and daily drives could be all BEV, I bet 80% over the life of the vehicle. Range only...

FSD reduced to $12,000, Highland price is initially $500 higher than current M3. I think both of these are telling. 1.) Highland was supposedly cost reduction driven. It looks like an performance upgrade. It should cost less to build, but Tesla is going to charge more to start with for...

I just completed our annual pilgrimage to an unnamed lake in Idaho. 780 miles in one day in our Sienna with 250k miles. We normally do the return leg in 2 days but we are dropping our son off at college today. (last one) So if I get my CT by 8/1/25 can I make the trip easily? This...

If the rumors are true and the first released models only have 300 is miles of range. First of all I called it. Second there are going to be some disappointed reservation holders. Most of us won't need 500 miles of range except for 10?? days per year. Personally our big family vacation is...

OK folks concentrate. The validity of this poll requires some assumptions. You might not like them, but live with them. You can tell me I am full of it in your comments. 1.) The price of the tri motor is $79,420, The price of the dual motor is $59,420. The single motor is not available...

This is exciting stuff. They are beginning to produce the body in mass production. Not to be a negative nabob of negativity, but if this is door, it is a long way from being a complete door part. But the fact that they made (4) of something is encouraging. They must have a plan to finish...

Who thinks Tesla will double stack the 4680 cells for the long range version? I just can't see it. 1.) Unless the lower range version is a lot different than the long range version there will be a 80 plus mm void or wasted space on the standard range models. or 2.) There would be a...

My dual motor reservation is 219,567 according to the tracker and 654,114 overall. I have sworn I will never buy a new ICE and my existing cars are all worn out. I am thinking about leasing the plainest Jane white Model 3 RWD this weekend. Currently the most efficient BEV in production...

If TSLA stock remains around $120 per share at the time of your order/purchase will you still buy? Personally for me, no I won't purchase it. I don't really need a truck and I don't plan my CT as a daily driver. I will probably drive my Aptera most places if just me and one other. The CT...

The price of the model Y is already fallen in China in Europe. This is a function of competition, increased production volumes and decreased wait times. I suspect Tesla will need to continue to sweeten the pot to keep up the sales volume, especially in a global recession. As an olive...

I read an article that Tesla locked up substantial lithium supply 10 years ago when there was little competition. How much could they have locked up? I can hardly believe the production increases in the stationary battery storage market, Tesla plus everyone else. That has got to be a...

@Crissa made a great point in the CT pricing debate. 'Tesla knew the CT would be a great cost/mile of range value as compared to the model Y' While this appears true today; I think you have to flash back to early 2019 when Elon was looking to shock the world with the CT pricing. During...
