That looks nice but it shouldn't be necessary on a vehicle that comes from the factory with a Class IV hitch.

I understand the concept of torque and lever arms and cantilevered loads. It’s not as though a trailered load can’t put high instantaneous forces on the tongue when you go through a dip or hit a bump. I don’t see how they get to 160 lb limit. I’m hoping it’s just like @PistolPeteCT said and it’s...

While waiting for my truck I have been browsing the owner’s manual now that it is live on Tesla’s site and I noticed this section about carrying hitch mounted accessories: The hitch receiver is designed to support vertical loads up to 160 lb (72 kg). When carrying bicycles, skis, or other items...

Given the hardness of the stainless I bet it would take a lot of elbow grease to get a high gloss surface and if you managed it the glare would probably make the truck a hazard on the road both to you and others. I would think it could be achieved, though, if someone really wanted to.

I like it, but it will be the only Tesla logs on the whole truck. Maybe do ones with the triangle CT logo, that would be sweet!

I hope they make FSD/autopilot on CT utilize the side view cameras more than rear view, just like a human driver has to given the blocked rear view. Then it won’t matter if you have a rack or trailer there. Given that, I hope there is a way in a future release to just display the two side view...

That’s awesome, thanks for doing that! :)

I think the side walls of the bed are angled and my guess is they made all the bins the same to match the bed wall angle. If they had designed the three so the middle one was bigger you’d have more space but couldn’t nest them or swap them around. I think the wasted space is probably worth the...

I probably won’t buy one but can think of plenty of reasons why one would want one over a tent on the ground: 1) Much more comfortable mattress. This is reason 1, 2, 3, 4. 2) Level surface (I wonder if they will have a mode like the Rivian to self level). 3) Outlets adjacent to tent hopefully...

I will want to remove mine but then where will I hang my work parking garage hang tag :rolleyes:

How hard would it be for one of the lucky early CT owners to buy a M3/Y homelink and try to install it in CT? If it works we know it works. Or at least can one look in the general area where the module would be installed and see if there is a connector of the correct size? I assume they have...

That CT does look great. I am new to tinting and saw that in PA, front windows have to be 70% VLT. Is it safe to assume the 30% you used on that CT would be more tint than allowed in PA? I was surprised to look it up and see the windshield and front side windows are the same 70% in PA when like...

One other thought: hopefully someone comes up with a rubber bed mat cut to size and with an easy way to still open storage bin. A rubber mat largely obviates the need for a divider as it helps a ton with things sliding around. It also allows water intrusion a path to run down the side and under...

It's pretty clear that EV charging equipment and battery backup gateway equipment qualifies for the credit. So install costs should for sure qualify. Of course, the installers know that so likely will just add $1k to the bill and pocket that credit.

Interesting claim of only enough battery capacity for 24k CTs per year. If that is true then maybe that’s all there will be in 2024. Ramping CT and battery in parallel could happen. And maybe given what they describe as an incredibly cost inefficient process of outsourcing components that need...

Yeah, I’m completely perplexed at lack of home link. I didn’t bother to check whether it was included because I assumed any car comes with it, and especially any car over like $40k. I really really hope they make it an option but either way it will irritate me to not have it or have to pay for...

But it works so well in the ad... :ROFLMAO::p Point well taken but at the least they are advertising it as a product so presumably there is no inherent regulatory blockade on it.

The Silverado EV adverts mention that their autopilot works while towing so hopefully it's just a matter of time before it is enabled on CT. Especially for just a bike rack which is on my truck pretty frequently. But for now I will settle for advanced autopilot being turned out by the time I...

Too bad his software company is privately held or Elon could just buy it and tank its value like with twitter ;)

I use a similar rack (1up) and am very eager to hear how much running a bike back there affects the range, especially at highway speeds. Any data is welcome.
