i do wish they would give us more control over the climate settings at lower temperatures. Like if it's 0F outside, running the climate to maintain 45F inside while using a 12v electric blanket on my person will keep me acceptably comfortable while using much less power than running the climate...

yeah, with a larger vehicle, the pebble drivetrain is a nice to have add on. With a smaller vehicle, the pebble drivetrain is 100% safety and mission critical. So the pebble drivetrain then has to be designed and engineered to be at least as durable and reliable as the drivetrain of whatever the...

awesome. the reports I saw in this thread Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 235/55r19 on Gemini wheels was that the falken wildpeaks were seeing the same range and power consumption that I see with my stock contis, even during summer, so I'm leaning towards making it my permanent, all-season tire...

Air suspension lowering the van down to kneel would make it that much easier to load and unload. I'm sure an ergonomic study would show that the decreased strain times 40 hours of work a week would reduce the probability of worker injury by a not insignificant percentage. Likewise the...

Whether the Van looks like a tall Cybertruck or an Elongated Semi, I think it would probably be within the same size as other cargo vans in the category. For Reference, the Cybertruck is 223.7" long, a long Ford Transit is 235.5" and an extended Ford Transit is 263.9" If a Cybervan is the same...

Yes, but don't the Pebble's onboard motors and drive controllers fundamentally change how payload and rated tow capabilities would be calculated, because with those motors engaged, the tow vehicle is no longer providing all (or even most) of the force necessary to move the trailer forward, or...

any specific recommendations for 18" tire size? I know the Model Y's speedometer and mileage functions can be confused by using tires too thin or too tall, so I've been trying to find tires that would keep overall wheel size as close as possible, to reduce that distortion. Seems like 235/55/R18...

Yeah I've been looking through a lot of threads about tires, but have primarily been focused on what to get for my next set of tires. I want tires that will serve well for very light off roading and for these winter adventures and that's why I've concluded that Falken wildpeak might be best. And...

You're right, that is confusing. It's more correct to say that they sold me a new set.

A high-top cargo van with all of the features and technology of the Cybertruck (the air suspension, rear wheel steering, steer by wire, powershare, 48v system, ethernet bus system) would kill multiple categories. It would simultaneously be better than every large SUV on the market while also...

I live in SoCal Wow, this is so awesome to hear. I live down in SoCal and have been running the stock tires, 255/45/R19 Continental ProContact Rx. 279wh/mi is my lifetime average with those tires after 63K miles driven. I've been looking for a set of tires to use for going on light off-road...

do you think these would work on a Model Y LR?

I got my Model Y long range back in october '21 and it came with Continental ProContact Rx tires. When I got to 30k miles, one of my tires blew out (ran over a nail or something) and I got towed to a tesla service center where they told me that the rest of my tires were on pretty marginal tread...

Which concept do you prefer, and which do you think the actual Tesla Van is more likely to resemble?

its a GM brightdrop.

So, I've been thinking about this RV for a bit. If it has two motors on its axle that allows it to push, brake and stabilize itself, what is the limit for the size of towing vehicle that can pull it? What's the stop you from pulling it with a Model Y, a Model 3 or even a Honda Civic? If tongue...

Hopefully we can get you out the doghouse soon enough
