Well you can sit in a while for 2 years and when you come out we will have some facts. Until we have all the information we can only guess. This is an educated guess and well reasoned. We all think the CT will be awesome however we do not know it as fact. Yet we all put money down and constantly...
Tesla started as a luxury brand and it is following them now. The CT is comparably priced to an other truck. The M3 is good value and comparably priced to many brands. On $20,000 or $63,000 a year, new vehicles are a stretch, either ICE or EV. If an EV has a higher price tag up front, but you...
Tesla built some of their first vehicles with easy swap batteries and had automated switching stations. No one used them. The batteries charge fast enough from the supercharger network to handle all the needs so far.
The most expensive part of an EV is the battery. I am not going to purchase a...
I am aware of the fact the HMMWV was a military vehicle before it became a civilian vehicle. What I am getting at is the operating cost of the vehicle are high. Gas mileage, vehicle maintenance and insurance are not free on it. It is also not the most practical daily driver based on the size of...
Well a Hummwv is a great looking and functioning vehicle. You just need the budget to budge it. What it would cost as a daily driver would hold me back. You need Arnold’s money to drive it. The CT should be the closest thing on the road that would let you get the reaction you are talking about...
It is not a straight conversation for buying in Canada to the US market. Tesla needs to set a price that it thinks they can sell their vehicle in that market. It is close to the exchange rate however incentives, taxes, and infrastructure will also play a role in the final price for the Canadian...
All electric cars lose range with temperature but so do ICE cars. It is only temporary and will be better again when warm. Battery size and charge speed is the best way to overcome this issue. The bigger the battery the more capacity it has to run the thermal management and warm the batteries...
The CT may not be hail proof but it will be more hail resistant then any other vehicle. I think we are in line for more fierce storms with higher damage to public infrastructure. The CT will be the choice vehicle to handle the effects of climate change.
Trailer docking should be easy for software to do for a straight backup to the trailer. Drop air. Backup and align hitch to trailer connection. Continue backing to the right location using sensors and cameras. Get to proper location, stop, raise air and wait for the human to finish the...
This is not Tesla specific however it will have the battery world talking.

With the sail sides the fifth wheel in the bed is not much of an option in the bed. If fifth wheel is that needed you may have to look at other options or change trailers to a bumper pull. A lot of people want the CT but want it to fit their current life. This is not always an option.
You could...
They are reports so they do not geek out like we do and they have timelines to meet and another story or 2 to work on at the same time. I find the same thing with almost every news article on Tesla. It is about sound bits, click bait and being first to print. Don’t forget to add a personal or...
It really does not matter about the specific tool used. It is more important that the demonstration used the same tool on each door with different results. Yes a steel hammer would have done more damage to the CT door, however it would have done incredibly more damage to the Ford door.
I am with you on not having things on the dash. If the CT does not have much storage the aftermarket will fix that. Look at all the storage solutions for the Jeep market.
I don’t really want to tow a trailer with a canoe on it everywhere the CT can go. With 16” of ground clearance I will have a hard time finding a trailer to match. If I do find a trailer if does not mean I will have room to turn around with a trailer at my destination. The third thing requires...
