    Tesla Pickup Truck

    I think they could own the mini pickup market as all the other brands discontinued them. Small pickup on the M3 platform and Full size on the X platform.

    Speculative Tesla Segments

    If any of the rideshare or insurance lines go live Tesla will need to capture enough data to provide 'Black box" aircraft accident type data to any accident victims. The data needs to be available for some time for unreported accidents as well.

    Refreshed 90kwh packs are actually 100kwh [Speculation]

    Tesla limits all battery packs to safe levels of discharge. the inverter has sensors for current draw and the computer adjusts output. if the current exceeds safe levels the fuse blows. When you go to Insane or Ludacris the computer changes the allowed draw.

    When will Model 3 be available if you don't reserve?

    If you do not reserve you never get one! they are built to order for each customer. reserve now and you will be late 2018 if the new production goals are met. when you get the notice to configure yours ask what the time from configure-payment to delivery lag time is. then you can delay if needed.
