EVs and motors are like 94% efficient. Not too much room for improvement. Batteries might go from 230ish to 400whr per Kg in 10 years with faster charging. That would be significant. Body composites might advance in that time. Beyond that wheeled vehicle might start to be obsolete with VTOL becoming the next thing. Call that 20 years out.Donated a ‘91 Range Rover to Navajo in desert when its wire harness corroded. Living on ocean peninsula a UK truck was last expected to fail in moisture.
CT is the Corvette EV that never dies. Its life timeline will parallel the Corvette in which the ‘56 Corvette is iconic with wire mesh over headlights standard, as was the six cylinder. A rare one year only. Ditto CT gen 1 will be the iconic rare variant.
Tesla will rev CT gen1 replacing it with its next variant same as Chevrolet introduced the hardtop. SO the gen1’s will quietly slip into history gracefully.
Good question is whether the iconic CT is Quad, Tri, Dual or Single motor. OR some “other” way?
Cybertruck will rev in software beyond the useful battery lifetime. Granted there will be the necessity to “upgrade” computers along the way. That won’t be free. But the more invested the CT with mods, the more value there will be to keep doubling-down on the OG CT.
For my purposes, Tesla changing suspension to trailing arms would trigger churning-over the OG CT.
