Separate names with a comma.
I don't doubt a spare tyre fits in the vault, but its going to be tight under the bed for space to fit a full size spare behind the rear drive...
From what I can tell from some CAD modelling, the Model S battery pack only reaches to the back of the cab. The floor on the CT is at least two...
I noticed that whilst playing with the CAD model the windows actually need to rotate inwards around the bottom window seal whilst moving down....
@coleAK Most household PV panels have open circuit voltages of over 32V, not 15V, and most decent solar inverters can handle up to 1000V DC as a...
@SSedan EM said the CT weighed as much as a F150 in the reveal. I'm not as much concerned with its own weight as much as the CT ability to shift...
@SSedan @ThomasD Thanks for the links but none of those vehicles are available, or will become available in Australia. Let alone be affordable....
I don't think "gear ratios" is relevant with primarily linear torque curves in well designed electric motors, they perform just fine without...
For many years, Australia, as well as many other nations and states, have been struggling to fight fires with mobile ground assets. Most of the...
EM said the rear bed will have HVAC and possibly access from the cab too. The shepherds (aren't they great dogs! We have 2) will have heaps of...
I'd assume the 240V outlets will have a floating earth because the CT is mounted on rubber tyres. This means you will need to short two cables for...
Cook when the sun shines. No batteries required. Vaccuum cooking works. Cooking is a function of air pressure not just temperature. Sucking a...
Yeah would be better if is was straight on the rear seat wall as well as shorter overall. Wheelbase compromises ramp over and turning circle. A...
From the Tesla CT reveal video screen behind the car. Wiki page has details too. I expect the CT to be some 6" shorter according to EMs tweet,...
@Saghost Lol true. I am wondering though if its possible to design a trailer in such a way that it either improves or at least keeps the same...
@keeny I can confirm the current CT length is as advertised and the same as a 5.5ft bed F150 at 231.9". I've redrawn the CT on CAD using...
Too much wood. Not enough CT. ;-)
Lol better off towing a couple more TM CTs on a trailer for less money than the powerwalls.
HUD stands for "Heads Up Display". It is a superimposed screen that is normally reflected off a piece of glass. It is not a dash display in front...
@MP3Mike Well your consumption is fairly high which is the first thing to fix before going DC. Does that electricity include your climate control...
@mspohr How much power do use for HVAC heating and cooling? Because none of that should ever be stored in batteries. Water is much cheaper and...
How exactly then is a M3 screen different? Because of the type of panel used (IPS, TN, VA etc) that it has a higher resolution or framerate, or...
Cars are not necessary either. Neither are seat belts or airbags. But they are beneficial. There is a difference between having an idea,...
For those that didn't bother to read the link I posted: "HVDC requires less conductor per unit distance than an AC line, as there is no need to...
I'm a big Nikola fan but HVDC transmission network is a thing and works out cheaper than AC: High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia Also DC to...
In metric the payload volume conversion to water mass is easier: 100cubic ft = 2.83 m³ Water density: 997kg/m³ (or roughly 1kg/L) 2.83 x 0.997...
@Wshowell For any pressure to be applied to any other manufacturer would require Tesla to fabricate enough CTs and sell enough CTs. 50k CTs...
@Barklikeadog I haven't been part of a M3 discussion and only joined with the CT release. But I was mostly aware of what was going on. It's not...
Lol ok. Not much of an argument. The model 3 screen and position is no different to any other car. How about a switcheroo...go and drive a car...
@Cosmacelf I know, but I still wasn't that happy about it. :-( We need a more integrated solution that is end to end. It just seems to make...
@Barklikeadog How do you mean?
The main reason for the HUD is the fact your eyes don't need time to refocus from the screen to the road. At arms length the screen is to close to...
Lol cool. Thats how to demo armoured glass!
Double the size, materials, features and range imply double the cost. None of these are doubled. Likewise none of the costs, if claimed or not....
Needs a HUD and something to rest your hand on when trying to touch the screen on bumpy roads when driving in the CT. Trying to use touchscreens...
With a CT you can do that straight out if you plug in the Powerwall to the 240V output. But I completely agree that Tesla needs to integrate the...
CT Tailgate: what about the ute bed itself? CT Bedcover: what about the towing capacity and off-road suspension setup? CT Tyres: Agreed CT Lights:...
Doubling the size of everything, and with it the prices is a fairly poor way of making a pricing assumption. The vehicle is not double the mass,...
What size solar do you have? 7-10kW? Thats a fair bit of consumption overall. We average 15kWh a day during the summer, with A/C, and under 20kWh...
Nothing special about using a h-bridge inverter bidirectionally for battery charging and 240V output. Reprogramming someone elses hardware MCU can...
A timestamp would be helpful for the video.
The roof glass is structural if it doesn't move, significantly improving roof rigidity for rollovers. Plus no sealing issues or poor aero effects....
Also a good way to keep your pets in the back happy without having them destroy your cab. I'm hoping they are on two different temperature...
lol delivery vans have had electric sliding doors for ages. On the subject of the CT doors I hope they don't make the doors too long, as with the...
An bi-directional inverter charger can do voltage, current and frequency matching on the fly. In fact any solar inverter needs to do this to...
If anything I'd not charge because every battery cycle degrades them. The battery hatch hinge or lock is way less expensive in comparison. The...
Yep ok. Two dual CT and a tri in two different countries atm. What don't you like about air suspension? I have 16ton trucks, Discos, landcruisers...
@ ColeAK Just so I'm on the same page, are you getting CT? If so did you want to still have a pickup camper on it?
That would be sweet! :-) Might have to get a 4th! :-P Now it's buy four CTs, get the fourth SM one for $11k...
I think the intention of the video was just to demostrate the amounts of energy involved in towing, regardless if it was sourced from batteries or...
Coolio. It's going to be epic. No 33% luxury tax in Australia then!
