You look out your rear window if you cant use your door mirrors? Seems odd.

 

If they're foggy, yes..

 

Okay gotcha

 

Camera washers? My Gladiator had a front trail camera and it had a dedicated camera washer that activated with the windshield washer. The side blindspot cameras on the Tesla really don't get too dirty because of the protruding design and being rear facing. Rear cameras always get dirty.

 

Some Mercs pee on their cameras like that.

Good, cheaper used EV's !!!

 

Tesla is aggressively driving down EV cost with extreme price cutting. This is great for new buyers and the EV market but not great for people that have bought one in the past year.

 

Which is a risk anytime one is an early adopter or shorter thereafter.

 

Very different subject but I ordered the original Sony Playstation 3-4 months before release and loved it. It broke in about 4 months, due to a defect that Sony acknowledged as a defect but refused me any help as it was past 90 days.

When I need a truck I can pull a trailer behind my blazer.

 

I hope it isn't another vaporware company like ALPHA. Looks a little too much like a Jeep front end but interesting and would sell to a niche market.

 

must have been working too much and not checking the internet. I am only now learning about this thing and trying to find out if it is street legal. (Doubt it is crash rated - airbags etc)

Yes, it is trying to prevent flippers making the vehicles not affordable or available for the customer base that wants them. One 'customer' ordered 200 Cybertrucks to flip. If you can kick speculators out of the queue and sell directly to the end user and eliminate the middle man, people can get their vehicles quicker for cheaper. And to clarify selling in the first year won't cost $50k, you agree to sell the vehicle back to Tesla first in the first year. If you refuse and try to flip it, it could cost $50k. Other manufactures have done this before.
