Still pathetic range however you slice it...

Bait and switch. Huge increase on prices even after inflation for arguably a less capable truck.

There are ~21,000 chargers in NA according to supercharger(dot)info. The busy chargers will still be reserved for Tesla and the other 12,000 can be opened up. I think things will be fine.

That is most likely correct, but a shame. Elon says no one used V2G in the original Roadster as a reason not to have these features, but more than likely, they don't want their powerwall sales to decline. I would pay extra for a software-unlocked V2G option, and even a warranty adjustment for...

Source? May 2022 according to Whole Mars.

I'm not above admitting I lack knowledge in this space. Is this something you know a lot about? Would love to learn more.

Maybe? Wildly behind expectations. And still not at a rate to CT. What do you think their cells/week are now?

I wish there was more transparency on the 4680 ramp. At this point I'm not convinced the CT will only be 4680 cells. 15 months to only produce ~12,000 MY of cells? And with no apparent advantage to 2170 cells after Munroe teardown? I really hope I'm wrong, but 4680 has been a disappointment so...

So if Ford will now have NACS, CCS, and J1772 charging locations listed on their UI, maybe Tesla will as well? At least J1772. On roadtrips I have to use the plugshare app to look for J1772 charging locations in parking garages/etc. Would be nice if they are listed on the screen.

If I'm understanding correctly Tesla is giving access to 12,000 chargers and there are around 17,000 currently, so not all chargers? I'm curious how much, if any, Ford paid to gain access. Undeniably, the real losers of this deal are the other CCS networks and any manufacturer that isn't also...

This looks sorta cheap IMO. Definitely could see this being a one off. Why would you want to hang your tools on outside of vehicle, defeats the purpose of lockable storage. Does work when those tools need to be visible for a groundbreaking though.

What I mean is I could easily see the 500 mile version getting delayed, or range reduced. The 500 mile Plaid+ never happened, the Berlin/Austin didn't ramp w/ 4680 (not entirely), and the Semi didn't have 4680. These were all expectations. I wish Drew on the earnings call would just clearly...

At this point I'm not fully convinced all trims will get 4680 cells.

Maybe, that would be a tight squeeze. With there was a midgate instead.

To all our knowledge, there is no pass through, at least big enough to climb from cab to back. For some this isn't a big deal, but I was pretty bummed by this. The CT could have been the perfect camping vehicle, but I think MY will hold onto that crown.
