Apparently from what I've heard cockpit is designed with similar tech to F1 racing. But yes that was my first concern as well, safety.
It is a very cool design though. Although if I were to get a 3 wheeler it would definitely by a NOBE.
Phew! glad I watched the whole post almost jumped over to the Rivian Site to have a look, LOL!
Agree with most of your Rivian points Todd. But for me it comes down your number 2 CT point. I'm tired of the scratches dings and worry about rust. I live in BC Canada and yes road salt and rust is a...
Correct FSD has been going up periodically and shows on the website.
Where are you seeing change on pre-order, my pre-order page does not get into those details.
confirms order and FSD only.
There is now way you could consider this test anything but an amazing success. They never intended for it to land successfully (Elon only gave it a 30% chance).
By every metric:
-collection of data
-flight time
-fin motors
-belly flop
-glide
-kick out for vertical landing
-getting back to launch...
I worked in a unionized pulp and papermill as a student. This mill has been operating since 1910, was once the largest pulp and paper mill in the world. The same mill is now on it's last legs and IMO in large part due to unions. I watched as staff fell asleep for 4 hrs of a 12 hr shift. When I...
I'm also on Vancouver Island. We've owned a M3 for a year and half now and the thought has crossed my mind, ie if it needed repair then what. I'd have to go to go to the mainland. Services is almost discouraged in that really you should go in before the 4 yr warranty is up just in case they can...
Fake news, saw the interview and Elon was just being polite answering a question diplomatically. No scenario where it would make any sense for Tesla to merge with existing OEM.
A battery producer, raw materials company, bleeding edge tech company maybe.
FYI, Tesla's been reaching out to CT reservation owners to start a lease on another Telsa, maybe worth looking into? Perhaps you can swing some sort of deal?
Anyone on the forum get an e-mail?
I know that I've read a number of you have been tossing around the idea. Might be worth a call to see what kind of deal you can make?
Some of the lease toward paying the CT, make sure the lease ends when you take delivery of CT, etc.
Would be curious what...
Well since my daughters helped name my wife's M3 'Parsillia Rainbow Dash'....
I thought I'd name the CT myself ;)
If my mining stocks help Pay for the CT I'll probably go with 'Nickel'. Double use, batteries and Stainless Steel.
It's been reported in many cases where the Tesla glass roof is orders of magnitude stronger. The thinnest metal used in your typical car is the roof. as it only has to hold paint and keep rain off. Tesla's glass roof actually broke the testing equipment...
Don't know that I agree with his spot weld hypothesis. I understood that the tiny wires were intended to act as a fuse. Should one cell short, it's physically removed from the circuit.
As said above they already have this for a surprising number of functions: song selection/search, volume, temperature, fan speed, open glove box, retract side mirrors, haven't tried open trucks but I assume so. They'll only add more and more as they update.
It's also amazing how good it works...
