Any Scientific Wild Ass Guesses about the tri-motor will really need to have the 500 mile range and 0-60 in 2.9? SWAGs about what might increase highway range? Lower 0-60? My use will probably be 90% road, 5% gravel, and 5% nasty to scare people. I am willing to forego the nasty if it makes a...
Another idea: Why the focus on 3 motors, 600 mile range, 0-60 in 2.9?
For another 10-20k$ give me 4 motors, 800 miles, 2.3 seconds. And add a prop if the beast really floats. A titanium instead of stainless option to increase range and improve 0-60? This will be the last vehicle in my life. I...
IF Quad motor makes the CT faster and increases the range I will gladly pay the incremental cost over the Tri Motor I have reserved. It is excessive. I welcome more excess. I am old and scrimped for decades to have fun in retirement. I WANT a 4 motor CT with rockets. NOW.
I am a 'lowly buyer' I am buying my 3motor CT not for the towing (it has been years since I have towed anything) or for the bed capacity (I do not recall buying 3500 lbs of groceries).
To me the big draws are THE LOOK: The most radical look in town. THE 0-60 (smoke clueless teens in Camaros).
Why a steering wheel? Why not a joystick. Also gets rid of the gear selector clutter. Even better, what about a neural interface? I would sign up for the implant. Pickup folks are SO retro!
If Tesla does this and makes the CT look like a trashy Rivan I will cancel my 3 motor order. I do NOT want something that looks like an inferior rival.
I am 71YO, probably 73YO when my trimtor CT arrives. If I do not get approved for the 2024 Mars Colonization, the CT is my next most exciting option. Looks like a DeLorean with no cocaine risk, smokes Pesky Porsches, can haul or tow darned near anything. LOVE dog mode. Now PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...
If I wanted 'normal' I would have ordered an F-150.
I WANT the 'abnormal' CT look. It is a truck version of a DeLorean without the risk of a cocaine bust. I WANT something which says I think outside the Bubba Box.
It would please me if GM perished today. The Corvette is the only worthwhile product they produce. Let Ford survive. T F Series pickups are the best available for those without the courage and wisdom to buy a CT.
Tesla should make the Trimotor available ASAP for all those who want it. Drop or reduce production of all other models ASAP to enable this. And give me a rocket option.
I would prefer ANY smaller option if it kept the same battery and motor options. I am buying the CT not because of its massive size, but because it is so fast. If 0-60 at 2.9 goes down I will be even more excited.
I want the original. It is a DeLorean without the expensive cocaine. It is BlaedeRunner. I would buy the original brushed stainless even if it was an extra cost option.
The (3 motor) CT will be my first truck since a 1998 Tacoma that was in fine shape when I sold it in 2015. It be my first EV. It will be by far my largest vehicle ever (current is a 2014 Prius). I liked the Tacoma (2WD, V6, 5speed) but the CT really excites me. I always wanted a Delorean but...
