A wintery mix! I don’t imagine much is getting done today on the exterior and how knows about people driving in with bad road conditions.

I hear ya, but you can also just look up online what glass weighs. From what I read, entire front windshields are typically 20-30lbs.... if that's accurate, there is no way hell the back and side windows tally up to more than 125lbs... total, not additional weight.

Yeah, it doesn't seem to pencil out. Even if the nw cpu was running tens-of-watts harder all the time, that's still close-to-nothing on overall range of the car. For the interested reader, the car eats ballpark 250 watt-hours per mile. Assuming an average speed of 30 mph, a mile takes a couple minutes. In a couple of minutes, a wildly hot ryzen cpu should eat maybe 1 watt-hour if it was somehow playing doom at 60 fps... just not meaningful imo.
So, I'd like to urgently encourage everyone with a gray MYLR on order to immediately put it on hold in order to get all the cool new goodies that are coming soon.
My teetering Mini just threw another code indicative of a possible $2-3K repair to a car with a market value around $3K, and I really need my delivery date to move up as soon as possible!

Snow flurries and Freezing rain count?
Oh sure, after I posted my comment, I see on next page someone already said the same thing
I don't disagree, the math doesn't workout. My gaming laptop can run for 60-90 minutes while gaming... high-end card and processor.... and its got a 70whr battery... not kwhr... whr lol.

Way More exciting than this mind numbing back and forth of hypotheticals.
And yet you still can't help but check.... is there any news???? If there is, someone will mention it on the forums!!!!

More like 710 days. Starting....now!It's always 7-10 days. From today.
Really annoying to read the banter about stupid weight of glass. Hopefully this answers what to expect
Did I miss something? I dont see anything useful in there

Pointless CARB certification. Is CARB operating in Texas now?
And the stupid weight of glass as you call it is the same as arguing that a person in the car doesn't change acceleration and handling. For all the talk of Tesla saving weight with 4680 and front and rear megacasts, that is all offset if they pile an extra 2-300# of material on the car.
Was referring to the mileage from the filing that possibly indicates that we might get a higher mileage MY soon if there is weight savings.
Unfortunately weight will only do so much, at least not if you are making the most of the regenerative breaking. At anything approaching highway speeds, its the wind resistance that's the real killer. I'll bet a drop of 6-7% in weight, so 300lbs or so, only yields a 2-3% increase in range... which is still something, a solid 7-12 miles. I could be wrong, but that's what I've read anyway.
The arguments seems to be getting deeper and deeper into the silly minutia for sure.
Well the moment there's news out of Austin I'm sure we'll have something else to chat about, besides the weight and the range of the vehicles that are made there... but for now, that's all there is to it.
