I like spaghetti and meatballs.

Melts in your mouth, no chewing required.

on the model Y go into settings .. then locks.. pick the iphone that is the key for you and select your driver profile for it.

it is a REALLY good idea while at it to set the card keys and any fobs you have bought to the guest account while at it.

Tesla does have driver profiles with those settings saved. We use our phones as keys and depending on which of us comes to the driver door, those seat/mirror/etc settings come up. There is also the option to set up an "Easy Egress" setting to "clear the space" for easy entry/exit.

Given variable suspension height for the CT, be nice to have a height for entry part of the profile too. Some might find it easier to enter lower (or higher). Thinking now though, rather than a separate preferred driving height, once driving, that should probably just revert to the last set driving height (simpler, and last driver was presumably condition-aware).

Would make for another neat "Tesla Party Trick" as well. You can impress your friends by having your truck "bow down" or "stand at attention" whenever you approach.

Actually quite practical and with air suspension, very easily done by the software. Turns out, Tesla is pretty good at software.

There’s no
My knowledge on the trim is limited. Sorry cooked pasta

I'd like to know the maximum amount of your limited knowledge though

Yeah. My right leg has maybe chronic tendonitis, and is variably not fun moving around. So I realize that getting into something really low or really high might be an avoidable discomfort if the vehicle height is adjustable. And I'm sort of ok, lots of folks are far more limited.

But weird situations are possible. Like being parked near a curb on the side, that one could step on and the door would clear, if the height was right. Wouldn't want it to go all the way down, and then auto open the door and bash it into the curb.

The details of the user interface are important (once stopped, is it easy to reset entry/exit height for the current driver?), and whether the car can sense side as well as front curbs.

Musing about this weeks great news, I was reminded of one of my all time favorite Youtube videos, The Honey Badger. Tesla is the Honey Badger of the Automotive world

Funny you mentioned that curb bashing. Before Tesla (BT), I had a Range Rover that had a sit-down feature when parking for easy ingress/egress. Worked great until one day I parked and the wife got out onto a high curb sidewalk before I did . Once I opened my door the car settled down and her open door it the top of the curb. Sensors on the door bottoms is the only way to prevent that and the Range Rover didn't have them. Not pretty and not cheap to fix. Hope Tesla is aware of that possibility.

I say we always can’t rely on technology, so go —- old School — curb feelers. Lol

Yeah I recall on my old 2018 Model S75D that if I adjusted the height and then parked with the airbags still raised (and mind you it only had a few inches of total height adjustment) I would get a pretty big surprise stepping out and Down 4 more inches.
And what was the total height adjustment on the CT, something like 16 inches? Yikes...

8. From 8 to 16.

Here is the same video with proper and appropriate music!

My guess,

No Tri motor
Dual motor is prevailing variant
Quad limited

How'd I do?

Well... Actually, I think the release version will be...

No motor!!

 

[Mr. Keys]

Is it just me or do the side panels still have some visible warping to them in the reflections? I was thinking they'd solve that first for sure
