This notification came in just as I was about to click on that new stealth grey Tesla video.

Thanks for saving me.

Very nice. The sound in this clip reminds me of a video a few years back, where The Smoking Tire channel did some canyon runs with a Model 3 rented from Turo.

Unclear on the turn radius. A 2-lane road is 24' feet by itself. It appears double that.

having watched one U turn in person a few times, it turns plenty tight - certainly tighter than an F150 (though wheelbase of CT is an inch or two shorter)

We don't need 4ws! An 8-point turn is easy

… IRL.

As long as incoming traffic can see you far enough in advance to stop

This seems like evidence of staged guerilla marketing.
Works for me!

Wow, how "lucky" can you get. You start the video and there just "happens" to be a CT appear. And they just "happen" to make a U-Turn RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! I mean, they see you there, and they can tell you're sporting the camera phone...

Close to 37.4' like in that image above?

video and thoughts over here:

Two different u-turns in this video.

In the first, the driver makes a tight u-turn. No way know for sure if he’s fully locked out in this turn, but the geometry of the front tires suggests he’s real close.

In the second, the driver makes a more loose u-turn. In the approach, he starts far right in the left lane (almost to center line), swings out wider, and in the return nearly touches the rightmost shoulder line.

For comparison, I took this same u-turn in my F150 SCREW, and it was ~identical to the second CT u-turn video.

So, these two u-turn videos gives some sense of how much tighter the CT can turn (in the first vid) compared to an F150 SCREW (in the 2nd vid).

A few other observations:

check rear tire

no knock to the CT as these are just RC units not dialed in, but whew these hoods seem to be giving them hell for now:

Lastly, the “skid mark” this dirty line that forms on the vault covers (presumably when the cover is stored/rolled, this portion is somehow exposed to the elements):

the skid mark is pretty unsightly in person, and isn’t a fluke of this build unit - they all get it:

The Excursion has that good a radius??? Maybe I shouldnt sell mine haha!

Also, this video is simple but also probably one of the most bad ass ones Ive seen. This video alone makes me thrilled to be getting one soon!

If it has that flat black wrap people are drooling about it could get dicey quick.
