    Source for production of 1,000 Foundation Series?

    IMO, Tesla will sell only FSCT until their GigaTexas can make more FSCTs than they have orders for. The FSCT is not a limited edition. If you wanted to get a new CT in 2024, it is already too late to order. Just like the original reservation list, Tesla has too many orders to fill in 2024...

    Source for production of 1,000 Foundation Series?

    I believe Tesla will continue to make Foundation Series CT until the factory can make more than the number of new orders for FSCT. At that point, the extra factory capacity will go into making the standard models. I ordered a FSCT based on this assumption because I did not want to wait any...

    SoCal Nema 14-50 Installation Recommendations???

    I'm in the process of doing the same thing. I have already ordered the Tesla wall charger. I was planning to run about 75' of #6 wire off a 60 Amp breaker in my panel. Even though I have a 200A service panel, I might be overloaded and not able to install a charger with the current panel...

    Who Is Offering The Best Insurance Rates?

    I've been with Ameriprise for several years. I priced switching from my wife's 2012 Mini Cooper to a Model 3. The Model 3 was like $100/year cheaper than the Mini.
