    Model 3 long range vs other premium sports sedans

    as Vanca mentioned, talk with your sales rep and get it added before you take delivery. I've had two referrals that forgot and tried to get it added after the got home and Tesla refused.

    Make sure you use someone's referral code. Pick someone whom you have regularly chatted with on the forums or know personally.

    Yes that is how it works. Your Tesla will occasionally "wake up" to top off the charge while plugged in.

    New Owner needing advice on charging setup

    I installed a Tesla Wall Connector myself. It's not hard, but you do need to do the research to make sure you follow all codes that are applicable to your area and situation. Depending on where you live you might need to get it inspected afterwards so the previous statement has even more weight...

    Shopping cart hit and walk-caught on Sentry cam

    Well the crime is damage to personal property. Yes, you can be held negligent and thus responsible, if you do not put shopping carts away in their proper spot.

    Shopping cart hit and walk-caught on Sentry cam

    Costco is not responsible at all in this scenario. If you want to waste money and time go ahead - you will lose. You can try and reach out to Costco with the video as proof to see if they have cameras that have a clear image of her plate. You can also try reaching out to tech communities to see...

    Anybody care to estimate cost to replace battery out of warranty?

    I cannot see Tesla keeping around "old" battery manufacturing mechanisms after they move on to newer tech. For instance I imagine the next S and X refresh will at least get the 21700 batteries if not the new sauce they are working on. Tesla will want to streamline the battery assembly lines and...

    Anybody care to estimate cost to replace battery out of warranty?

    Advancements in battery technology, such as dry-electrode. We will learn more on battery investor day and have a better idea of what it will be in the future.

    Anybody care to estimate cost to replace battery out of warranty?

    By the time you need to replace your battery the cost will most likely be below $7k. No need to fret what the cost is today if you are not needing to replace your battery today.

    Range at Motorway Speeds

    You should be fine. I only have a 100 mile round-trip commute and driving around for lunch; I usually use between 35-40% SoC with speeds of 77-80 mph. Temperature and weather will have an impact as well.

    Do I get free HW 3.0 upgrade if I buy a used Tesla?

    If the car already has FSD purchased against the VIN you will get the HW3.0 upgrade. If you purchase the car and it does not have FSD already purchased, you purchase it after the fact; you will get HW3.0. Short Story - If FSD is purchased you get HW3.0.

    OK, so...did everyone get their cars by the end of 2019?

    Yes, there was a price reduction after the first drop in incentives. The fact remains they are still selling them as fast as they can make them - that is the point...

    OK, so...did everyone get their cars by the end of 2019?

    Cybertruck bulletproof? To what caliber?

    One thing to keep in mind... it is not so much as the caliber of the projectile (bullet) rather it’s velocity and material composition.

    Changed My Cybertruck Reservation...

    We should learn about new battery tech in January during the Battery Investor's Meeting. Most likely all cars will get the new battery tech in 2020-2021. S and X will probably get a refresh around that time and get new motors and batteries first. (my guess)

    Deadline on completing a reservation?

    There have already been FSD price increases, to think it won't happen again is silly. No competitor is close to Tesla when it comes to FSD.

    CT as a bug out vehicle

    It's really not; there are even strains of grass that can be used to create ethanol gas. Using passive photovoltaic will also be a better option as it frees up resources to focus on food production or other needed services versus energy production.

    Think we'll be able to use the cybertruck as a home generator?

    I don't see a NEMA 14-50 being installed but I can see a 14-30.

    cybertruck is going to fail ? I doubt it

    That really depends on the fleet and the purpose they server as to whether it makes practical sense or not. Claiming that it won't work at all is just as naive as someone claiming the contrary position.

    Cybertruck and superchargers

    They really don’t need to retrofit any. As they are adding v3 Superchargers they can begin installing those with pull-through in mind.

    Cybertruck is NOT aerodynamically efficient - why the shape?

    Well you are only partially correct. The flat surfaces and sharp angles are specifically designed to minimize radar signature, the Nighthawk itself is one big wing as the underbelly acts as a surface. It's unstable due to the design but that was solved a long time ago with fly-by-wire computers...

    Will Cybertruck be the first car to use Starlink for connectivity?

    while I would like it to be so, I do no believe it will. The most recent design for the uplink unit was rather large.

    Cybertruck in sub. -30C temperatures

    The better question to ask is what effect temperatures will have on the new battery tech that Tesla is working on. I cannot imagine them rolling out a Cybertruck with existing tech to meet the stated specs.

    Elon says truck will have solar roof option that can add 15 miles range/day

    There’s nothing saying that it has to be a solid pane. In fact with the work Tesla has done with their shingles for roofs could very well translate into the existing design.

    Love the Truck, but...

    The middle seat in the front folds down and provides a center console. Lots of full size pickups have this type of feature.

    This truck design had better be a joke....

    The abundance of small to midsize pickup trucks used by small businesses or contractors would beg to differ. Try not to assume you speak for everyone.

    People, don't forget about PlastiDip (or one of the alternatives) as well. Lots of good options to have colors out there if you want.

    I did, we'll see how things develop to decide if I switch to the Cybertruck or purchase an R1T.

    My 3 was hit by a teenager; what can/should be claimed for this damage?

    You want full rental reimbursement. It’s well known that repairs can take longer than normal for Teslas. I would also request a Model 3 as a rental. This is less likely, but it’s worth a try. If the car is not totaled, ask for loss of value. Tally up any other expenses associated with the...
