Much will depend on the headlights. Most of the time when cos run laser they put the dot on one of the headlight buckets and get the reflection from there. That is why it is near impossible to beat a prepared Officer in court when they used laser. Radar is more general and reflects off of the...

All good! My comment wasn't really directed at you, more just thinking "out loud." Just I've heard many, both here and other places online, make the statement that the CT is "huge" when, in fact, it is exactly the average size pick up truck here in the US. So, my comment was for everyone - not...

Um. I guess? I've lived in the southern US most of my adult life (FL to Texas). Pick up trucks just feel normal to me - as a driver or as an occupant of another/smaller car. But, I've never lived in an Uber city area where they weren't common. So, anecdotal for each person, I guess. I'm just...

I think you missed the part in my comment that stated "UNLESS" My comment was directed at US consumers - NOT, European consumers! Glad you were able to get the rant out. I just think it wasn't correctly applied at me. :-)

I would recommend that you educate your wife on the fact that the CT is the SAME size as the other big 3 "normal" sized trucks in the US. It isn't huge - just normal sized. The CT dimensions are pretty much the averages of the length/width/height of the F150 and 1500 GM/Dodge trucks! I don't...

I had a HUD device I purchased on Kickstarter (the company charged way too much after launch and it went under). The device was AWESOME. I could have turn by turn navigation easily displayed, my current speed (it changed colors if I was over the speed limit and again if I was more than ten...

Yes, sir. It would be convenient. It would even help with PARKING - A LOT! The architecture for four wheel steering and "Crab" would be almost the same - so, if they do one then the other would just be a software addition. But, the way Tesla does things is to produce vehicles with limited...

Tesla is constantly changing pricing. They did (not sure if they still do) offer a cheaper/limited version of FSD. Just because they say one thing today doesn't mean that is how it will be tomorrow. I, completely, agree with the FSD license "to go with us" part! Right now, if one purchases a...

When I first heard about EM's comment my first thoughts were: 1) He will most likely attempt to have the CT match the 6" of air suspension travel that the Hummer is claiming. This is something that should be able to be accomplished without altering the truck architecture all that much. 2) Minor...

The way I imagine this going is that Tesla will, eventually, offer several levels of FSD at different price points. Example: Assisted driving level 1: assisted highway driving and emergency alerts = 3000 FSD level 2: level 1 plus auto park, veh returns to you from parking space, etc = 7000 FSD...

Two thoughts: 1) I disagree with some comments posted here about the need for pull through stalls for the CT. Yes, it might not be "much" of a pain to disconnect and reconnect a trailer. But, MOST people who haul the trailers will NOT want to do so on a regular basis! If Tesla is serious...

If I can't put a short stack of plywood flat in the bed of the truck - it isn't an option. If I'm going to get a truck I'm going to get one that will haul whatever I need. Getting a smaller truck would only be a consideration if a) I didn't need it to haul stuff and b) it was a LOT cheaper to...

Obviously, we have different use cases as a smaller CT means I can't haul as much - specifically full sheets of plywood laying flat in the bed if the truck. But, I agree with you that making a decision before products are even being produced on the marketplace to review is not prudent There...

I'm, most likely, wrong - but, my recollection was that the 4" number was the travel for the adjustable air suspension. And NOT the overall suspension travel. The way I heard it the 4" would be how much the truck would raise and lower automatically (if set to do so) while driving - higher speeds...

Exactly, that was why I stated "Yes, that is exactly where Tesla should focus their efforts." :-) And, I also agree, that it sounds like Tesla needs to work on the battery splitting/charging.
