Perhaps at least as an option. Personally, I don’t love the idea of a bunch of raw materials I’ll rarely use sitting in my vehicle and/or being hauled around. A 300 mile range vehicle is plenty for me - I’ve driven EVs since 2014 and have covered a lot of ground on road trips, including towing a...

I’m 5’7”, balanced torso/legs, and in my 30 minute test drive I found it very comfortable.

Yeah, my March 12, 2024 reservation isn’t giving me an order window until late this year in the Bay Area.. who knows? Good news is I’m really in no rush/lease or anything.

I’m in the Bay Area, ordered on 3/12/24, and haven’t been invited.

I haven’t posted here in ages. But as a senior mod over at TMC, a 12+ year multiple Tesla owner, this one cracked me up. I think you have some valid points, your 19” wheel complaint resonates with me as well, though I’m likely to get a set of 19s with winters mounted and I’ll run the 20s in...

Added. March 14th, 2024 reservation.

I’ve personally been feeling pretty indifferent about my reservation, which I’ve held since March 14th, 2014, but these reviews and seeing the R2 has me much more excited. I’m currently driving a 2022 Model Y with about 75k miles on it, it’s doing fine but I’d love more clearance as I drive in...

I've been told by more than one person that if I 'devolved' back into homo erectus, he is precisely how I'd look.

I have over 10,000 miles logged towing my Airstream with my Model X. Chasing unicorns, indeed. I'll edit to add some details. I have a 22' Airstream, loaded weight typically 4300#, so not a tiny trailer by any stretch but also not big. With our X90D, we would get about 120 miles of range with...

I've owned Teslas since 2014 and eagerly anticipated the CT but it is just not my style. The nice way I choose to say it is, "I couldn't pull that off." I will say, though, the Cd is estimated at .37 which will be impressive and make for a much more efficient vehicle than the standard...

As I mentioned, I use percentage display on all of my cars. You missed that. Additionally, this metric is yours and is not something widely discussed in the EV world. That is informative. Since you appear determined to pivot to personal attacks, I’ll drop off of this discussion with you. Best...

I get all of this - I have always kept my range setting on my Teslas on the percentage setting instead of the range setting. My concern is more about efficient use of energy and less about cost per mile, though I'd argue that for the broad population cost per mile is a more valuable metric. I'd...

This metric makes very little sense to me as a value proposition. Perhaps you can explain why you think it matters. If the EPA rated consumption of the R1T Large is 486Wh/mi, that's it's consumption rate. It means I'll have to pay for/generate more electricity per mile. Perhaps there's an...

I drove 78 miles on Saturday to the shore and back and averaged 243Wh/mi on the whole trip. Temperature, speed, and dry roads are huge factors..
