Screw Conserve mode. Never switched to it once. Took my R1S last week to Daytona and zipped around at 108 (traffic prevented any faster). 7000 lb beast hauls butt.

Let’s all hope so. Range is King. Bring on those big batteries and fast charging
who knows... but Corning Glass windshields (tougher, but can still crack if hit by a large rock - just not as easy and more small stuff resistant) cost approx. 2x (!) of a normal windshield. a windshield of the size of the CT one would probably be well over $2k for gorilla glass... not sure if Tesla is taking that margin hit

In Arizona it’s common to have rock damage to windshelds. Hmmm. Maybe it’s time to open a glass repair Shop
I doubt the Door Skins and Frunk Skin will be 3 mm 1/8 inch thick Stainless Steel
Gorilla Glass Windshields Are Impressive, but Are They Worth the Money?
With most car insurance policies covering glass at no cost or at low deductibles, these tougher, lighter, and way more expensive windshields are strictly for early adopters—for now.

Oh wow, i didn't know it costs that much... Given this, I'm thinking these features will not be included to lower the costs. That's a bummer if this is the case. My wife wanted the CT because of the "armor-like" glass and plating.
Why on earth wold they back down on this?
3mm steel and next-to-bulletproof glass were more or less top-2 features in the reveal (well, almost, IMO), the steelball incident would only enforce their commitment.
Time wasted, we will know soon enough.
I don't think they will, but the Exoskeleton wasn't as promised, nor the size, sail storage, potentially ramps, etc.
Things always change from concepts.
Sure, luckilly, I think they have worked very hard to make the best, very much look forward to how it actually turns out.
But I do not spend much time guessing, it is not that time critical to me - we will see (probably from position 1.000.000 or so in the queue in my case - hence plenty of time to find out

Hope Riv did not steal
Tesla and Rivian are heading to court over ‘stolen trade secret’ claims
Tesla and Rivian are heading to court over the former claiming the latter stole “trade secrets” through former Tesla employees...electrek.co
Tesla has lost previous suits like that, so I assume no.

I'm sure they just took a picture of a damaged F150 to create the wrap so pretty easy to fix, just re-wrap it. /s

I'm 86 years old, bought my first Tesla in 2013 and my dear wife (she's 88 now) circumnavigated the U.S. in April/May 2015, when there were a total of 184 superchargers scattered around the country, mostly in CA. From Seattle to Palm Desert to JAX, Rhode Island, Niagara Falls, Mt. Rushmore, etc. and had a blast - searching for places to find some juice. Nothing like a little range anxiety to heighten the pleasure of travel. We now drive the 3rd, a '21 MY. I can't wait to trade it for the Cybertruck, which I will drive with great pleasure, just for the fun of it.
