Saw CT in UTC Tesla Store

[SANZC02]

A CT fan ran into a Cybertruck at a CA Supercharger and spoke to the engineer charging the vehicle. He would not reveal much but he did get some info.

Please take all of this with a grain of salt as nothing is official until next Thursday.

- This unit is a tri motor
- They are testing the newer 4680 higher density cells in this vehicle.
- tri motor are not using plaid motors at all
- new motors are higher TQ units with different gear ratios than anything else.
- lots of one off parts specifically for CT
- doesn't look like it has air compressor hookup from the vault
- they are only working on one pack at the moment for tri motor
- Dual motor pack isn't ready yet.
- efficiency should be around 400 watt/mi better than 500 watt/mi for sure.
- first edition pricing should be in the 90s.

Interesting, if they can get the 400 that gives them the 2.5 miles per kW.

It does not take much effort for me to get my Model S above 350 watts per mile. My wife however seems to be able to stay under 290 frequently, so in theory not pushing it who knows. ??

I’m thinking that the whole 266 mile range video is pretty accurate. 2.5 mi/kwh under epa testing perhaps

Who manufactures those tires?

They also have a Pirelli street tire option

In the year leading to its release, Ford invested in an advertising campaign, marketing Edsels as the cars of the future. While 1958 Edsels introduced multiple advanced features for the price segment, the launch of the model line became symbolic of commercial failure.[1

Every single CT is going to have curb thrashed wheels, the way those stick out.

Black too. I'm sure a curbed black wheel looks great!

Oh no… I thought I would have more time to prepare mentally before they landed in Colorado. This is DEFCON 1 folks!

Are we taking bets when we'll see the first one in a ditch off I-70?

There is going to be a ton of buyer's remorse when people finally pull the trigger. So much so, Tesla actually anticipated this and originally tried to make you sign an agreement preventing you from reselling the vehicle within the first 12 months of ownership. They eventually removed this language after the news surfaced. Watch how many CTs flood the secondary market over the next few months, with resale values facing additional medium-term pressure due to Tesla's typical price slashing.

I would say within a week of customer deliveries! I could see someone trying to drive it across the ice on Lake Dillon because they think it will float ?

Well someone did decide to drive their Tesla into San Diego Bay recently -

Sounds like they were a victim of the tide.

I think the most important question has yet to be answered: where is UTC? I know about the time, but not the location.

UTC = University Town Center
There‘s a nice outdoor shopping mall there. https://www.westfield.com/united-states/utc

It has a ‘presence’ that’s for sure.

Do they let you throw rocks at the windows?
