If I remember correctly, the battery day presentation made the point that the lower overall volume of the new battery packs allowed the batteries to be more centrally located (and thus even further from the sides of the vehicle). The point was made that it was a benefit in the ride of the car...

Ultimately I think the announcement from Tesla is just that there will be a 54% range increase for batteries in the future of the same volume as what is being created at the moment. But for a vehicle like CT that is not yet being produced, it could just mean that the previously allocated...

Looking at the slide a little longer I'm starting to think that this slide shows the overall benefits to 3 groups: Range Increase: benefits the vehicle owner $/KWH Reduction: benefits the per-vehicle profit margin and the direct Tesla investor Investment Per GWH Reduction: benefits the...

I'm specifically using this slide from the presentation: I got the range increase percentage a bit wrong. It's 54% instead of 56% but still its over 50%.

So one of the interesting things in the battery day presentation was that batteries were going to become structural components along with the aluminum casting frames. But the cybertruck uses the exoskeleton build instead of internal frame. So I'm curious if the battery still gets used as a...

So watching the battery day presentation, it looks like the CT gets the same batteries as the Semi. And these batteries use all the new battery optimizations that were mentioned in the presentation. (Possibly short of the structural battery?). But at the end of the presentation, they mentioned...

I'm not saying that I need 750. And from what I saw of the presentation, there wasn't any announcement about charge speeds. I'd be psyched if charge speed went to 10 minutes. Even if you just get to 80% charge in 10 mins I'd be happy. But it would be sweet if we get 80% charge of the 750 miles...

So with the new Battery Day announcements, it sounded like the new batteries would get something like 56% better range... So does that give the CT tri-motor a 750+ mile range? Looks like the CT gets the same kind of batteries as the Semi with the Full Nickle cathode which Elon mentioned was...

Back in the day (OK, not really THAT long ago) I ordered and bought one of the first PT Cruisers. At the time they were quite hot and I got a LOT of attention from that. Some people were friendly. Some people nearly had a heart attack or a major accident just from the sight of my vehicle. And...

Actually my guess is more along the lines of people being interested in the views alone. These days with social media, the views are sometimes more valuable than whatever people are viewing. There may not be any direct interest in the CT for CT sake.

Or at least be able to set up 2 flame throwers out the back in place of tailpipes that look like rockets firing while driving.

There is another thread here talking about features that will be desired in trailers/campers when using them with the CT. Looking through the Living Vehicle site, they seem to have a lot of the desired features that were talked about. I look forward to this and other trailers that might be...

Saw this in another thread: https://www.livingvehicle.com/ Doesn't have all the features that were talked about here but quite a few of them and in a nice clean package. The price puts this in the luxury category so I don't imagine there will be a ton of them out and about. But I would certainly...

Hey Todd, Keep up the good work with the videos. I love your format and knowledge. You are making excellent and informative videos that get to the point and are nuanced enough to be worth the time to watch. So many other videos out there are absolutely either annoying or boring in their...

Yes! These are awesome. Exactly what I was wanting to see as for what impact a battery in the trailer could have. It will be interesting to see if there are any other examples like this. Or if Tesla ever decides to support this use case. I'd think some of the data on the Teslafi.com site would...

<tldr> Since airless tires have no air, are they less useful on a CT if you are going off-roading or over-landing where tires are often softened by letting air out in order to get more grip on rocky surfaces? </tldr> So for years I have liked the idea of airless tires and really wished some...

Maybe if the voltage was something at the level of the gag shock lighter....

I wonder if Tesla will have a feature for anomaly detection.... For you know.... Bigfoot, UFOs, alien beings, Halloween party people, or funniest home video candidates.... Gotta keep an eye out for all that. And of course video review for when you get pulled over by the police is helpful too...

I don’t know what’s needed but I started down this path after seeing a Bruder trailer https://bruderx.com/brochure/ex-6/ Those be expensive but I see that there are air suspension kits you can get for trailers so that might be a better answer. Now to figure out how the hitch would work. The main...

I like the idea of the motorized trailer Assisting in pushing and regen. as for the energy consumption, there must surely be a combination of weight, aerodynamics, and power that would be more on the beneficial side of things. But without some real testing I’d only be guessing. But as an...
