Agree, but I think you're comparing it to the turning radius of other carsThat would be a turning diameter, not turning radius.
They sounded pretty confident in the new time line (production starts by year end 2022).holy crap....."beta next year".......it obvious that it wont happen this year.....but next year (2022) is 365 days long......no battery yet, no final design yet, next year not here yet......so I'll bet there will be no CT from the production line in Austin until 2023......wish Elon would just say it
That's because the photo is straight from the side. What gives it the pug look is the ratio between windshield and hood, not a change in overall front end dimensions. Provided that even is the same vehicle as the one photographed at Merced airport.Its not as pug as that screenshot makes it look.
I'm pretty sure that's what automakers publish though, turning circle is probably a better term.That would be a turning diameter, not turning radius.
The term turning radius is sometimes used as equal and interchangeable to the turning diameter. However, strictly mathematically speaking, the turning radius (r) will always be defined as half of the turning diameter (d).
That's a fair point, but if you keep measuring we'll then also have an idea of the U-Turn radius, which typically requires 3 lanes to accomplish in 1/2 ton trucks.That would be a turning diameter, not turning radius.
This is so important. I suggested something similar on the thread about take rate. If they hit it out of the park, it will be massive and pre-order take will be 95%. If it’s wonky, there is going to be a run for the exits.Alpha-Beta, doesn't matter to me as long as when it does arrive it's well designed. They only get one shot at this and if the first ones are a piece of crap then no one will give future versions a chance.
Just pull the mirrors off, that’ll get 20 miles range right there. (Actually 24 miles if Tesla‘s 5% range increase is to be believed)If they get an EPA rating of 480 I will take delivery and sell to the first best offer of break-even costs...or higher.
