You need permits to get solar installed (legally anyway). That is how the utility knows the size of system you are getting. So they won't approve the permit for a system over 5kW. Now it is true I could do 1/2 off-grid and 1/2 grid tied. But then I would need two breaker panels without any...

Tesla delivery charge is a fixed amount wherever you have it delivered. It will still be charged for factory pickup. Check with current Tesla owners who picked up in Fremont.

Not if local utilities have anything to say about it. Our utility won't let us install more than 5kW. Not even enough to cover our daily use most of the year. They're fighting solar on homes tooth and nail. Mostly with forcing of EV rates that are higher. Eventually I expect them to lose. But...

Disagree completely. But that is okay Dids, I imagine you said it to yank my chain. :p

Not to be worried, it will be announced in a month or so ago... ;)

Would that mean you have to assemble it yourself? ;)

Very possible. I will not be surprised if the single motor never materializes.

I tried driving today as if my car had the yoke. Turns out that in my Sienna it is quite uncomfortable for 3 main reasons: 1) my steering wheel is still too round, so I have too twist my wrist to have my palm touch the wheel 2) at 9 and 3 (instead of accustomed 10 and 2) my hands both feel like...

Not surprisingly, the headline is exactly opposite of what the quoted person actually said. He doesn't want to buy the CT with Bitcoin, he wants Elon to let others do so (tthrough his company).

do you mean "tesla.com/insurance"?

When I was simply commuting (8 mi each way) I only used 120. Worked fine.

And HOW do we know how long it takes? :sneaky: It isn't so much the acquisition cost if you believe this could be a popular option. To make money though you need to exceed operational costs and amortized capital equipment costs. So, how much do laser etchers cost to run?

I like the ID.Buzz (probably same timeframe). But I want a pickup, not (another) van, so CT for me!

Not me you misunderstood, Dids, so no prob! I still thought the bottom was discontinuous. Better pictures prove me wrong. Good thing FSD will be along soon, my mind may be too far gone for driving otherwise! Of all the things I've lost in my life, I miss my mind the most. :unsure:

I don't see how they could do that. The structural pack they use will only fit one form factor of battery.

Thank you for finding that, Henry. Maybe my mind isn't totally gone. :D The top of it is still very similar (or the same), though.

Not a stamping press. SS too strong to stamp. Casting not the same.

I was going by memory. What you show does look the same. I could have sworn the videos of the test drives had open yokes. Oh, well... sorry. :unsure:

Move to Ballard (suburb of Seattle), Then no one will notice. ;) (Running joke among Seattleites when we lived there)

Prototype had open yokes, this one is a continuous shape, even if not a round shape.
