    How is AP and/or FSD on rural and hilly state hwy?

    My inlaws have just installed a 30 amp receptacle for our Travel Trailer at their property in New Richmond where it is currently being stored so that they can use it while they are in the process of tearing down his old family home and building their new house. If they can get their current...

    Thank you, that is awesome information. There is a ton to learn but it is great to have resources like this community to help the transition.

    How is AP and/or FSD on rural and hilly state hwy?

    This is exactly the roads she drives! Thank you for the information. 32 to Athens is a route I think I can do in my sleep after 5 years of going back and forth from school. In fact, there were times when I probably did and AP would have been smart (but was completely Sci Fi back then). I can...

    How is AP and/or FSD on rural and hilly state hwy?

    Sounds like I should campaign for a second round of test drives that involves the X. In truth, I think if the Y had a third row (I know, it's coming) and it was reasonable for the 7 year old to climb back there... she would have been all over it. She is coming to terms with some of the range...

    How is AP and/or FSD on rural and hilly state hwy?

    I don't doubt they are very convenient, much like a powered rear hatch provides convenience and a little shelter while loading/unloading. Her dislike of them stems largely from our experience with automatic minivan doors on our old Town and Country. After a couple years they started having...

    How is AP and/or FSD on rural and hilly state hwy?

    This is great information. I'll have to check out the You Tube videos. I know I'm just being a paranoid husband and possibly looking for an excuse to get a high tech toy, but I like the idea of a little support when she is driving on 32. I use to drive that road regularly in all conditions and...

    How is AP and/or FSD on rural and hilly state hwy?

    That's a good point, it probably isn't an option for any roads on her trip that are 2 or 4 lanes and aren't divided. How does it handle the rest of the country highway issues when the road is a divided rural state highway and not a major interstate?

    How is AP and/or FSD on rural and hilly state hwy?

    We are shopping for a new car for my wife. She does insurance sales and theoretically will be back in the field someday (as restrictions lift or pressure during open enrollment demands it). While most of her work is within 50 miles of the house, her territory actually stretches 150 miles across...

    CyberTruck may be classified as Medium Duty

    This is the best idea I've seen. They should send one out here. I'll drive it out on the beach and then pull my camper to the smokies. Let's test these things somewhere other than the 405 and posh restaurants!

    [POLL] For Cybertruck Res Holders ONLY, what type of buyer are you?

    Yikes... it never ceases to amaze me what the prices are like out west and up east. I use to do business in San Jose and cost of living was always an issue for our people there. What's funny is cost of living in NC feels cheap compared to Cali but expensive compared to Ohio. I think that is a...

    [POLL] For Cybertruck Res Holders ONLY, what type of buyer are you?

    Right now we have a Ram 1500 and an Excursion 7.3. We haul 3 kids to and from the sports fields and when able, tow a light travel trailer. Both trucks can haul the trailer but for long trips, the 44 gallons of diesel is a must. My hope is that the CT can handle towing duties for close range...

    It's good to be King, if just for awhile....

    CyberLimo

    A Cyber Limo setup like the Excursion Limo's would be great to see. Also, how about a 3 row with large trunk space SUV. They could be a nice extension of the Cyber lineup.

    RV Electrified By Tesla - Is It Possible ?

    Infrastructure could be an issue and campgrounds may want to meter electric RV campers they way they do seasonal and long term campers but I think it would be manageable. I would love to see Tesla partner with KOA or Good Sam for a Super Charger Network tied to campgrounds. It would be even...

    Smaller Cybertruck

    I hope they build a truly compact truck like the old pre-runners, s10, ranger trucks. At the largest, the size of an old Dakota. I don't have the sizes in front of me but the new Colorado and Ranger pickups look like F150s from the 90's.

    S3XY vs CYBER

    I hope so. I would love to see them expand to include a 3 row SUV like an Excursion/Suburban, a work van, and a compact (truly compact like an old s10) pickup.

    Tesla Trailer

    I think towing a travel trailer could be a great use for the CT. Since that is one of my planned uses, lol. Yes, personal bias, but I am hoping Tesla is focused on this community of users.

    Rear Seat Head room?

    The question about the hard hat is valid for construction sites. There is more to headroom, however, than just the distance from the ceiling to the floor. It will also be affect to some degree by the height of the seat. It may only make a 1 inch difference, but that may be the difference between...

    What do you plan to tow?

    Towing is going to be my biggest concern when the truck hits the ground. I love the concept on paper but my family currently pulls our travel trailer with either a 1500 Ram or our preferred 7.3 Excursion. If the CT could handle our TT, it would be fantastic. I would love to see Tesla work with...
