    2024 Model 3 (Highland)- Spoiler improves or reduces range?

    The active spoiler on my 2018 (191k miles P3D) does absolutely NOTHING but look good. Down. Now Up.

    It now has an automated spoiler controlled by the screen. Down Midway up All the way up.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    I agree 100%. I'm going to miss the foglights.

    Cybertruck and FSDb

    I am also surprised its not there yet. Out of all of the bells and whistles, I thought they would have FSD working.

    Cybertruck Steer By Wire Safety Concerns and Details

    It's not terribly complicated. Just click here and give it 15 seconds for them to start talking about it.

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    Well, not really. My Tesla stock is up 1800% because of the confidence of an entirely different group.

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    LOL, I am certainly not NEW to Tesla. My P3D has 182k miles on it. 5 years old. My P3D is nothing like it used to be 5 years ago as far as features and tech is concerned. Vast improvements. Thats why my optimism is where it is. Tons of new features and function. New things like longer...

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    Tesla is currently succeeding with their toy. No need to worry. They will continue to succeed - toy or not. The CT has too many successful features to fail in a single area. If anyone believes that the CT has failed on towing - fine - that won't stop its success. How many people do you...

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    Indeed it is beautiful. One reason why I keep using Teslas system to get there is because I want to watch the system as it advances update after update. 4 years ago there were numerous interventions on the expressway and NO local navigation - from my driveway to Naperville. Now there...

    Wire tapping for sub install

    I tapped off of the input of the boot sub to run mine. Tapping off the input of the sub are the instructions of the Model 3 custom sub I installed. https://nvx.com/products/2017-2022-tesla-model-3-custom-500w-rms-10-subwoofer-bass-package-pbk-tm3-vsw10s2?_pos=4&_sid=f063c0c39&_ss=r

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    I don't have a special thing about Naperville. Naperville is far from me. Getting to Naperville requires complicated local and expressway travel. Getting to Naperville requires roundabout navigation and just about every other challenge I know about. Lastly - I like to compare software...

    Done.

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    link. Because I still see Model Y castings being made in GigaTexas on videos every day - along with Sandy Monroe interviewing Larzs about the 6 ton press volume getting to be insane due to the model y's castings. This interview was after the CT delivery event.
  17. gtgarner

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    I just posted a video right above this one. Postg number 196. From about a year ago. If you watch people taking tours of Giga Texas - you will see seats being mounted on the battery packs. Whenever you see that its a 4680 battery pack. There are tons more video's out there. I watch at...

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    watch Sandy Monroes video of his Model Y that his company bought and broke down out of giga texas. Its a casted Model y that he broke down. He bought it free and clear. Its 4680's.
  19. gtgarner

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    Again, Model Y Castings are being used in GigaTexas. They certianly are. Castings can only be configured with 4680's. If they are selling both 2170's AND 4680's - Fine with me.
  20. gtgarner

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    Lol. There are tons of videos by "Joe T" showing the castings of the Model y in GigaTexas. Model y castings don't use non-4680 battery packs.
  21. gtgarner

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    I am. I'm getting the beast whenever they allow me to configure. I don't care if its tomorrow or in the next 2 years. Send the personal insults. Don't care. Thats what usually comes next in these discussions.
  22. gtgarner

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    Yes they are. If you watch all of the videos from last week you will see over and over again that the model y's are now all casted. Casted model y's only have the 4680 battery packs. Tesla doesn't make a non-4680 structural battery pack per the Tesla engineers.
  23. gtgarner

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    Again and Again I say that with over 2 million reservations - Tesla can have high or low production numbers and still sell out ever CT for 2 years +. Even if production volume of the CT is the same as the model I. My prediction would remain the same.
  24. gtgarner

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    Just hit play. I jumped you head in the video to where you can see the Model y's coming out of gigatexas.
  25. gtgarner

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    I agree 100%. However I believe that a non-constrained production would also have the CT sold out for the next 2+ years. I'm not convinced that Tesla is constrained - looking at all of the 4680 Model y's are flying out of gigatexas. Have you been watching the videos from the guy (Joe) with...

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    All of the complaints about the CT's range and how much of a letdown that is....and they are sold out for the next 2+ years as we speak. From Tesla's point of view - why change anything? How many other OEMs are dreaming about such a thing? Celebrities and the "well off" don't care about...

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    I actually tried Blue Cruise about a month ago. I really liked certain things about Blue Cruise, however: I can't start Blue Cruise in my driveway and get to Naperville Il Tesla Service Driveway with no interventions. I tried it. Blue Cruise is for highway driving ONLY and does not yet work...

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    Get on board with what? I have over 150k miles on Tesla's version of the car driving itself. Driving consistently to Tesla Service Centers with varying road construction and ramps with no interventions. <---Thats what my eyes see. Name something better. Why can't you do that? Name a system...

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    As I've stated over and over - the last step to a discussion like this is to get personal. Call me whatever you want. Name another system that will get me from my driveway to Naperville Il Tesla Service Center (32 miles) with NO interventions. If you are ever in the Chicagoland area - I'll...

    Multiple safety systems failure (M3P) completely out of the blue

    FYI, I just received the same exact errors. The service mode showed 11 errors and specifically pointed to the front left wheel speed sensor. I went and picked one up at the Tesla Service Center about 42 miles away. It cost $98. I drove my P3D all the way there with all of the errors...

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    I definitely hope it wont take long to run through the list, as I have cash money for my beast CT if they want it. Tesla, if you are reading this forum - I'm ready.

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    You have spoken for me. Your situation isn't what everyone else is going through. Your opinion of FSD isn't everyone else's. = Subjective. Is it a FACT that FSD is garbage? No - It is for you, but it's not fact because it's not for everyone. Thats what Subjective is. Your opinion =...

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    I agree 100%. Who spends tens of thousands of dollars on a product that they can't get their money back on if they don't like it? <--- I'll answer my own question. Super rich.
  39. gtgarner

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    All of your arguments are subjective. If Tesla guaranteed the Ramphex would be pleased with all of our products I would understand your argument. However - in order to avoid more posts like this - I would implore you to not buy anything else from Tesla. I started a challenge to name another...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I agree 100%. Speed bumps will have to be solved before robo taxi can even be a possibility...IMHO. I wonder if there can be a vision only based speedbump avoidance system. Humans have a very nice speedbump vision-based avoidance system.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I know this might have been covered in this thread, however I can't find it. Question: What happens after 5 forced disengagements? I have 2 forced violations and not thinking that I will get any more, however - are forced disengagements ever zeroed out? Will I have my forced...

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    Ford and GM aren't losing money on RnD. They are losing money on every single vehicle sold. Profit margin per vehicle. RnD is separate. Its separate for Tesla also.

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    This is not a matter of opinion to be able to doubt it. The CEO's are stating what they aren't doing anymore concerning EVs. I posted the articles above. I walked into Hawkinson Chevrolet here in the Illinois area about 4 months ago. They told me that there is no way to get a Hummer EV...

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    If the inflation and interest rates don't come down, GM and Ford will be out of the EV business. They are losing money with each EV delivery as of the 4th quarter 2023. Bottom line - customers can't afford the high monthly payments due to high interest rates and inflation. If everyone was...

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    Teslas came down in price because they could. Elon said over and over that if the interest rates kept moving up on bank loans that they would have to reduce the cost of the vehicles to keep the monthly payments the same. Tesla didn't want to lose the current customer base as it is the most...
