Could be cost control. Each station costs probably $200-250k, plus rent, plus demand charges plus KWh charges, plus folks to maintain them. Could be delays getting permits, not enough people to initiate all those stations, delays getting transformers. Could be a lot of things

That's awesome to go across the Tioga pass. I wonder how the Groveland RAN is coming along.

My app doesn't show the PTC status nor does it control it

Either way, why buy a CT for $100k when they will be available a whole lot less in a few months? I don't think that they will sell for $80k a year from now.

Same situation, same question. My plan is to run them at 40A off of one 50A breaker and make them power share

With the shortest range, CT is a hard sell right now. The tech is very neat but not enough to overlook the small battery. Definitely something for everyone.

Ditto. Rivian fits my use case better as I don't need a huge bed, I like the gear tunnel, my PTC works, and I like the smaller size better. With the impending access to Tesla SC, my R1T will be perfect. Now, if 2 years from now Tesla increases the battery on the CT, I will revisit the issue.

The PTC fix was supposed to arrive mid summer and basically showed up in December. So add a few months to all tentative release dates

Actually battery is smaller on CT by 12 KWh. It's less aerodynamic and bigger. Tires are bigger (35" vs 34"). It's frankly fairly efficient considering the above. It just needs a bigger battery.

Exactly. Issue is battery pack is too small. Seems that 4680 still have a ways to go

Rule of thumb: climbing 1000' of elevation burns an additional 10 miles of range

Got mine fixed last month. You can always ping tech support to make sure they have a ticket open for you

Very nice. I like TMC forum approach where we discuss new RAN in their own thread. The title follows a format and changes as SC goes through stages (permit, construction, live). See here: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/forums/california-supercharger-locations.148/

In Conserve ?

On a road trip to Sedona, I averaged 2.0 driving 80-85 on freeway and normally in town. Truck was loaded with stuff and people. Drove in Conserve on the freeway. Quad, AT tires.

What's really funny is that folks on Twitter were expecting 2.7+ 2 months ago...

R1T gets 2.1-2.2 miles per KWh at 70 on AT tires.

Battery is 135KWh in Rivian, tires are smaller (34 vs 35) and aero is better, hence the higher range. On top of that, charging curve on CT isn't good.

Smaller battery, worse aero, bigger wheels. Result was entirely predictable. It's actually better than I thought. I guessed 240 miles.

I own EVs for their ease of use, performance, lower CO2 emissions and as a bonus I love the idea of not funding middle east theocracies. Now I don't tow so easier to live without an ICE vehicle.
