    Elon Confirms New Battery Cells in Texas Made Vehicles

    i really dont think so. They wouldnt have just invested in additional presses and the Roadrunner project facility if they were trying to remove production from Fremont. They are actively still adding onto the facilities there. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-fremont-expansion-ga-4-5-permanent/

    Elon Confirms New Battery Cells in Texas Made Vehicles

    q1. yes As Elon has said, this is about to be the most popular vehicle in the world q2. I doubt it, there has already been speculation that there are vehicles out there with the new batteries already, we just dont know to what degree. I dont think they would want a mix if batteries in their...

    Elon Confirms New Battery Cells in Texas Made Vehicles

    yep! I believe they are making enough in fremont to send batteries to Texas for the near term until the battery portion of the factory is complete. As far as we know the battery lines for Texas could be complete, sitting, waiting to be installed somewhere as well. Lots of unknowns, but...

    In a brief twitter response, Elon confirmed that the MY will be using the new battery cells at the Texas location when production begins. This all but ensures that all CTs rolling out of Texas, following the MY, will have the same.

    What SOC to keep tri-motor CT at?

    Yes, in some cases it does. In my 2013 Model S, charging the vehicle up to about 95% is the only way I can make it to my parents house and back. its an extra 30 miles of range on the screen, probably about 15 miles of usable range in all actuality. and there are no superchargers along the...

    Charge sharing service-it's a million dollar idea

    Your idea is the reason i didnt buy the Tesla branded charger for my home. as EVs continue to grow in popularity, inevitably more visitors to my home would potentially have EVs, and its nice to be able to offer friends and family the option to charge their Tesla or non-Tesla vehicle if they...

    Battery size on the single battery Cybertruck will be same as and dual and tri motor?

    its not just the battery you are gaining with the tri motor though, its the performance gain as well. the 0-60 is faster and there are opinions out there that the tri motor may have different aspects of the plaid powertrain where other versions may not. Until we get more definitive specs...

    Charging at restaurants hotels and work

    we also have a group chat where folks are pretty good about offering to move if they are charged up. It doesnt happen often as they arent the fastest chargers by any means but im not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Just this week we had Facilities put up a EV only sign as we have...

    Charging at restaurants hotels and work

    its really quite easy, you sign up on a recurring schedule and then every week you get that time slot. Its a bigger deal in the winter when it give you priority parking by the entrance, and is -20 outside. :ROFLMAO:

    Tesla Battery Day Announced For September 15 (Predictions anyone?)

    He made this statement for a reason....he always has a reason for doing these things. And the timing does line up, we are expecting the CT to start being produced late 2021, that means full tilt production in 2022.

    Tesla Battery Day Announced For September 15 (Predictions anyone?)

    Im onboard with this idea as well, I think the incredibly interesting point will be the cost. Much like the CT unveil and the gasps from the crowd at the 39k pricepoint, being that its investor day as well, i think they explain the cost difference and what that means for Tesla financially and...
