Probably because watching someone drive around a $100k vehicle while they are trying to figure out how to pay for college and barely afford to rent a room somewhere or live with their parents until they are 30+. And a lot of Elons comments and representation of Tesla have really put the next...

Those bearings were as big as that guys head.

It traded lithium and martian scenery for the promo videos.

Coworker just got his FS CT. its sitting in our parking lot right now and my jealousy bubbleth over. He said he is in the 1100 range for the VIN number. I don't know if that helps at all to get an idea of where they are with actual deliveries.

It really doesn't make sense why they would be skipping people. maybe they don't have the locations in their account etc. i am 11284xxxx and i got the invite last week. i think i ordered the day after it was around the 24 hr mark.

Tesla is hurting right now and frankly Elon is sort of being a jerk and not helping the cause in my opinion. I wouldnt be surprised if they push the FS series only sales as far as they can without major backlash. IMO thats at least a year. They seem to be working through FS invites at a rate of...

I got the invite today. 11284xxxx. I am working on building a rental house. Gotta focus on those appreciating assets first.

Seems obvious. He’s been waiting for a CT for 4 years

When you don't factor cost in this all makes sense. Yes, you can extend the range of the AWD but you will be at about 100% more than the initial price advertised. Anything is possible at a price. So you can't really exclude that from the conversation. And i don't see anywhere on that screenshot...

I get it. That 30% of power from regen braking means that probably about 40% of the battery was depleted to get that 30% back. There is always a net loss. So people stating that somehow this 70 mph long trip and range reduction to 250 miles was somehow caused by the lack of regen are just wrong...

And with my family, that break inevitably lasts an hour so that should be a decent amount of charge.

I know a lot of people in CA that are not happy with range. Our main office is 80 miles from many of our jobsites and often with meetings at multiple sites the range is quickly depleted. One friend lives in oceanside and drives up near LA for windshield repairs and he is constantly charging but...

range anxiety. its a diagnosable illness now.

That B2 is IMO probably the coolest truck ever if they can actually get it to production.

But there is something to be said about a company advertising "estimated" ranges and almost zero percent of their vehicles ever actually get that range. I am an estimator by profession. I have to get within 2-3 percent of my estimates or I basically fail. Tesla has a vast pool of data and really...

But my grandparents drove 5 hours in a blizzard uphill both ways to get to school! without heated seats!

we weren't talking about the aluminum casting of the CT. We were talking about aluminum body trucks. where the truck bed and body are aluminum. I hope the CTs do stand the test of time and show that they are as durable or more durable than a typical steel frame design. I recall Elon discussing...

I dont get why people think regen is the difference. I studied a lot of physics in the process of getting an engineering degree and there is no way you get more energy out of regen than is put in. it would be like saying you should have braked from 70 to 40 on the freeway every few miles to get...

zero headwind, drive on glass and only use premium electrons.

I think you are a little confused by profit. Fords net profit margin is about 3-4% and Teslas is about 11-12%. I imagine that they will work to get the CT in the same profit category as their other vehicles which is reinforced by the high initial price point. Anyone on here can tell you that the...
