As of today 2/22/21 there have been 1802972 reservations placed for Tesla products since the Nov 21 2019 release date. Supposedly after backing out S3XY, powerwalls and any other Tesla products the reservation # will tell you where you are at in line for the CT. Now hats off to the google...

It Tesla were to announce a cyber van available in the next 18 months. How many of you would switch your reservation? Assume 1200ish watt solar roof.... 10 miles per day, similar construction but not bullet resistant, same motor choices, 15% less range per model, less off road capabilities...

First I am going to call it. Elon is going to put the E in SXY for his car line up with the Eco-hatchback (Model 2). Crap I forgot the model 3 backwards was supposed to be the E. Hmm, Maybe they will drop the 3. I would love to have a 2 to 4 seat hatch back as my daily driver when I...

Any engineering type want to comment on the galvanic protection between the SS and aluminum? How much energy would active protection consume? Is it possible to isolate the 2 materials enough? Sacrificial anodes?

Say there is a massive improvement in battery tech in the next 6 years and some 3rd party could make a battery with 2x the density of current Tesla tech at sat $50 per kWh at the cell level Can anybody else envision grinding out /removing their existing Lion batteries and swapping in new...

What would you pay for a rwd or dual motor with a trimotor battery pack?

1.) This is from the Crowdsource Camper forum. I scaled the photo from Tesla's website using a 231.7" as the overall length using Bluebeam software. I am assuming the advertised 6.5" vault would be an interior dimension. I guessed that the thickness of the tail gate at 2.3" The problem is ...

While the majority of the CT visible body might be easy to bend, how about all the transitions around the door frames etc. Does anybody have an idea how they will be made and how they will be connected to the flat/bent plate shell? Supposedly the exoskeleton was going to be cheap to...

I don't think Tesla should get in the trailer business. But what they could is build a fully compatible trailer upgrade kit that any manufacturer or most existing trailers could be retrofitted with. This would consist of: 1.) a single hub motor in roughly the 20 hp range 2.) A scalable...

Instead of government choosing technology in order to drive down CO2 we need to let the free market drive innovation. That being said a voluntary carbon reduction on a state by state or individual basis will be slow. What we need is a rigid carbon tax that grows every year. $.01 per pound...

Is there a real engineer out there that can calculate what the MPG would be if you put a ford ecoboost or 4 cylinder cummins turbo diesel in a CT with the current 10 speed trannies? Not that I would want to do this. I don't think people realize how important aerodynamics will be for range...

I am just thinking out loud here. If people were just cool or Tesla built something into their user agreements so if a vehicle was done charging any other user of the charging station could unplug the vehicle and plug theirs in either using an adjacent parking spot or even better autopilot...

Personally on my long distance travel I am kind of looking forward to slowing down a little . Have a leisurely breakfast lunch or dinner and take 40 minutes to charge my rig. Same with hotels. Save a pit stop by charging at night. Include the KWhrs in my bill. If I were an electrical...

I have a theory that adding/having FSD will improve your place in line. Think about it. Another $7/8 k revenue per vehicle with out adding significant cost would make the shareholders happy. My understanding this that the hardware is installed on all vehicles and it is a software switch...

It would be a real bummer if somebody detonated a EMP or even a massive solar event and wiped out all our CTs. I wonder how much thought if any is being put into protection and or replaceable fuses?
