Thanks, let's hope it happens. (Since Hawaii will get its first CTs after most of the 48 states, there is plenty of time for a bunch of firmware updates ;-) It's to bad they had to drop the extensible tailgate, but it did look a bit over the top -- easy to imagine, but really hard to build so...

Can anyone comment on whether the front and rear air suspension are adjustable independently? One of my favorite features in the early images of the CT at unveiling was one showing the CT with front suspension lifted up to max, rear suspension lowered to min, tailgate down and extended, the...

I was surprised by how small the max angle was, even at the slowest speeds. For tight maneuvering in parking lots or on rough trails, at very low speeds, I was expecting up to 15deg angle. And perhaps that is still reachable, but Tesla is taking it easy, gauging the response of drivers, since...

This is to be expected. Outside of jet pilots, F1 drivers, and heavy machinery operators, who has any experience with steering by wire? (OK, gaming might actually help here... ;-) But people adapt to small changes like this very quickly -- "takes a little getting used to" is exactly right...

Kind of defeats the purpose of a vault... and definitely poor esthetics, marrying a BBQ grill to those clean sheets of steel. Probably adds quite a bit to the drag coefficient too...

Are those cyberspades? They don't look like ordinary spades.

Yes and no. Main damage to batteries is charging, so the 1'000'000 miles figure is a generic shorthand for a certain number of charge/discharge cycles. Most of the testing Tesla has relied on up to now is from a research lab in Canada that has studied Li-ion batteries for many years and...

Why are we assuming that the CT will have the same old charger on board as the current Teslas? The trimotor is likely to have twice the battery capacity. Even if Tesla revived the dual chargers used on older LR Model S (and the 1st-gen HPWC), we would get 96A at 240V and so take at least...
