Latest M3P battery chatter/rumors
M3Ps might have 20% range increase over LFP
M3RWD 272->330 miles wow
M3Ps could cause conflict with 2170 NCAs and range in the other Teslas
To avoid conflict, think Tesla will use less M3Ps than the number of LFPs to keep the M3RWD at 300 miles even though it could have filled rhe space to achieve 330 miles
If the rumor is true

Any view on M3P degradation characteristics? My X’s held up superbly, our recent Y’s much worseLatest M3P battery chatter/rumors

From Tesla's perspective why would they support that? The battery system is the highest cost part of the vehicle so this would only make sense if Tesla saved more in cost than they spent.

Evidently the vehicles being produced right now are "release candidates":
That appears to be in line with communications sent to suppliers that release candidates would be built in late August: Tesla plans for 375,000 Cybertrucks per year, will have release candidates by late August
If that timeline holds, it sounds like they may still be aiming for an October release.

good thing they have a great track record and ability to assemble vehicle parts to ultra tight specs ... (sarcasm)
joke aside - if in fact this is true... the CT will be quite costly to manufacture and assemble ... compared to "within spec" Model 3 / Y / S / X

I could care less about towing in an EV pickup, or going off-road in a CT. I just want a truck that I can throw my Milwaukee Packout in and drive to work. For me the CT is a win. My Model Y has served my job needs fine, but getting all the tools in the hatch is tight. The CT will solve that, and I never intend to tow a boat or go off-road. I do however, want to keep the fast performance that I’ve come to know and love with Tesla. It’s not a “lifestyle” vehicle as you put it.. it’s a better functioning, more capable version of the Tesla that I have now. All the “truck” stuff is irrelevant to me.
I keep saying I will own a CT and I keep seeing things that indicate it will be stupidly expensive when it was supposed to be stupidly affordable.
Ill be converting from a MY also, but different for it will be a lifestyle vehicle for my family and I. For years we have been throwing two kayaks in the back of our Landcruisers and dune racing. MY held us over, but soon we will be back to the beach.
Different strokes for different folks

Delivery event is soon enough to add tickets as a referral reward, but not soon enough to announce a date:
Well said, I think people forget or don't even realize that your perspective (which I share) is the majority of pickup buyers.
