I'm watching closely. If that thing is even remotely close to the price tag and offers what Elon is hyping, I'm in.

Supposedly there is a new intern who has taken over the official Tesla twitter and that youngin is killing it lately!

Musk is always an entertaining, yet frustrating at times tweeter as an owner/fan/investor.

Autopilot is cool and all but adding Netflix, Spotify, YouTube and Hulu to your car is next level shit Elon.

Let alone Auto Summon where the car will meet you at the front of a store or restaurant.

Version 10 is insane.

Plan on building a house next year. What do I have to do to prep my garage for an electric car? Generic 240v do the trick?

Yup have them put it in the garage in the ideal spot you want it. Just did this with the new build and works great.

This gets you up to 35-40 miles per hour on a charge which is all you need overnight.

Depends on the garage configuration.

Closer to the panel is cheaper but may not be the most convenient. Ours is at the panel and the cord is long enough to reach most spots in our 3 car garage as I back in and my wife just pulls in.

I’ve seen some fancy stuff of it hanging from the ceiling on a retracting wheel which would be awesome but this set up is fine for us

Biggest shitshow ever, that was amazing.

Truck looks awful. https://www.tesla.com/xNVh4yUEc3B9/11_Desktop_Video.mp4

Then, to prove how strong the windows were they threw a ball bearing at the front window...it shattered.

So they threw the same ball bearing at the back window...it also shattered. :lol:

I bet the folks at Dodge/Chevy/Ford and even Rivian are throwing a party tonight.

It's so sad because everything about the truck is f'ing amazing. 0-60 in 2.9, easily beats a Porsche 911, that's absurd.

Also absurd, the way it looks. Who is going to buy that? Certainly not in masses. They had a chance, they blew it.
