I would think that with the recent spate of new pics, more people have been drawn in (or back in) to the CT discussion and are discovering the existing images. This pic looks good since it has the wiper arm, so folks unaware of the newer mirrors may believe it to be new.
I agree that these betas are likely being used for testing HW4, which explains them being in Northern California. Elon has also been up there for the trial. If they are testing out HW4 and possibly other systems on these, I can see them not being concerned about the center taillight or the BAW...
Yeah, my wife is also not fond of the look. I am one of those who planned to use my stock gains to purchase my CT. So, now I am hoping for enough of a delay for the stock to recover, lol!
Also, since the configurations have changed, everyone will need to go in and change their order, especially...
Not to be the grammar police, but I need to make one correction:
instead of saying “you’re hoping…” I think it is more accurate to say “you’re dreaming…”
They need to keep it simple to get it ramped up and fulfill potentially over a million orders. They already have multiple motor...
Guys, if they are digging a big hole, maybe they are planning to bury something…
Or someone?
When seeing the remark about the CNC, my first thought was for cutting SS panels prior to folding.
Also, they could simply be increasing capacity for the Model Y, or additional presses might...
Well, I am thinking, after some introspection, that they will be more likely to offer the 4ws on all CT models. It does make sense, Elon didn’t say it would be an option, it will make them more nimbl, save on complexity, etc. - all great points.
As for making one version with four motors and...
I think the options will be:
🔳 2 motor
🔳 3 motor
🔳 4 motor
🔳 Premium sound
🔳 Quad Runner
🔳 Street tires
standard features:
4WS
Tow hitch
Air suspension
High performance armrest
Glovebox
110/220 outlets
Air compressor
LASER headlights
Battery sizes linked to Motor options
I’d love to see a...
I am on the list for a dual motor and I am still fine with that, but the four wheel steering seems like a nice feature.
I feel like this will only be offered on the highest-end model at a nice premium.
Does anyone have a reason to think otherwise? Maybe it will be easier to add the AWS hardware...
It’s all good.
If someone gets the F-150 Lightning or an EV Silverado, great!
I hope it suits their needs AND it‘s electric, non-polluting and a huge step forward. These will hopefully be around, so for those grabbing another type, they can still get a Cybertruck later or vice-Versa.
There...
Maybe that is a spot they were looking at mounting the rear view mirror? Should be up there, somewhere near the middle… I like the look of the door panels, too.
Ok, I must admit to skipping a couple of pages in this thread, Ute it looks like no one mentioned the obvious point: like the side mirrors, owners will be able to remove this giant wiper themselves, after they take delivery!
This creates a third-patry opportunity for an aftermarket solution...
A little too early to tell. Maybe after the factory opens, they will mention this? I didn’t have that option (picking up directly from the factory) with our m3, but Covid was also a factor.
Your order number will also likely be skewed based on what model CT you are getting versus what the...
I would keep the air compressor and the under vault storage, and those features that are not optional and likely opt-out of the ones I didn’t want or couldn’t afford.
Thankfully, the aftermarket tends to help fill in the gaps and will help me customize my CT!
RFTs are VERY heavy! Hopefully, the newer type of open mesh run-flats will be made, creating a lighter (usable) tire for an electric vehicle. Maybe that’s the one called a “tweel”? And, as mentioned, RFTs are also loud and stiff.
As to the dealership/store discussion, I have found that the old...
Yeah, the way I expect it to go, will be:
The first models built will be the highest-end, with several options, such as: four-wheel turning, solar tonneau, tow hitch, maybe some wheel option?
I expect Tesla to honor the pricing, but reservation holders , as they come up, will be offered the...
