The CT teaser was actually spot on! They are both triangular, sharp edged, and totally different than any other truck's design. Elon had prepared the world for months and we didn't even know it? Yet people still expected a Tesyota CyberTundra??
Is there an option for I want my monocle to match my CT? ? I personally love making a statement with something different and unique!! The grotesque nature of the CT brings me so much pride, and I would use it a lot for hauling, towing, etc. So bring me function over fancy, baby!!
But the seats...
Tesla! It's always Tesla! *crossing fingers*
I just drove by a hugely popular mall recently to see how it's doing, and I found it was actually closed down! Boards on windows all around, no trespassing tape, etc. What once was a thriving industry with HUGE real estate footprints is now becoming...
Exactly! Tesla service is much better than people think, thanks to media spitting in Tesla's eye about issues years ago.
Also, keep in mind that unlike any other manufacturer who makes a TON of money on service, Tesla's chief engineer said on the 2020 Q4 earnings call that their goal is to...
I'd like to chime in on the early roll out cars. I had two M3's, both early 2018's and sub 20k VINs. The first one was great, but we got rid of it because it was black and we found a great deal on a red one with 20's. Mmmmm!
Anyway, I digress. They are both great cars, very reliable, have had...
I'm sure you all know by now, but Elon said in the Q4 2020 earnings call that the CT design is finalized! The only things holding them back are the world's largest (yet again the title goes to Tesla for it, MY was 6000lbs) die casting machine (8000lbs!), and battery limitations. He even said...
Lots of good discussion! I'm a big fan of the RT network and the possibilities for me. That being said, I do love looking at the other side of the coin too (potential issues, pitfalls, etc).
Here's what I've gathered so far:
Elon said in the 2020 Q4 earnings call that 2021 is the year of...
I'm not a laser scientist and have no idea to pretend what I'm saying, but the front bumper is flat (only angled on the sides) and I'd imagine that it would reflect back, happy as a clam, to the laser gun.
Although, I do love the idea of a radar-proof CT!!! ? That adds to the futuristic feel...
@rr6013 To add to Crissa's comment, you are allowed to repair the battery yourself, no matter how difficult or easy it may be. It's not illegal, Tesla nor the government will show up at your doorstep.
However! Tesla has made it very clear their standpoint on repairs made to the EV power train...
Glad to hear your thought process!! To validate your SC cost concerns, it only costs me about $10-$13 to supercharge from 20-85% on my LR RWD M3 (~211mi gained) depending how hot or cold it is outside (30-120F).
This is all on the normal 120kwh superchargers. Imagine the new 250kwh ones, AND...
One thing to keep in mind is that the CT is the most anticipated and pre-ordered vehicle in history! It currently has over 1.4 million estimated preorders and growing every day.
Fear not, delays may happen but Elon and crew are making sure they meet this demand ASAP! This isn't one of the back...
I'm confident that it will be really awesome by the end of this year (99% complete), but I'm giving them another year to add another two or three 9's at the end (99.99%) ?
The 9's at the end are exponentially harder to obtain than the first 99%, meaning it takes waaay more time to achieve each...
Man, that sucks... What a bad investment! Tesla is going to zero guys, nobody should invest in it! What are you all thinking????? ?
I've been laughing at the analysis and their predictions of Tesla for years...
Side Note: I'm glad that I invested in Tesla when everyone was doubting its...
We've been debunking this argument since reveal day: YES FSD will be honored on reservation day, but the vehicle and other options prices are subject to change.
Anywho, Tesla Tesla has a secret weapon on hand that Comma.AI and any other company currently does not have: the DOJO.
In short, the...
Great discussion, but you're all overlooking one thing: Tesla has historically lowered their prices a the incentives went away to almost an identical proportion.
If we got an EV credit again, Tesla would likely increase the cost of the vehicles to reflect that credit, making it a wash. 9nce the...
I'm definitely happy that I invested in Tesla early on!! It's great to see that Elon's reaction isn't going and taking a huge break, going on a spending spree, boasting and bragging, etc. Instead he just says "how strange, back to work."
What a humble and prime example to the other billionaires...
