I'm wondering where they put the mechanism to slide the 2nd row forward in the 7 seater. Is it really super-thin and requires almost no floor space? Or do they perhaps place it above the battery under the front seats?

Ummm, this old body don't anythinggate without deep padding, lumbar support, and back massage built in...

There were some questions earlier about the weight difference of the 3rd row. Is the total weight difference of the vehicle 130lbs, or is that just the weight of the actual 3rd row seats themselves? The reason I ask is that the presence/absence of those seats isn't the only difference...

I'm only glad that it is optional, nothing else. Oh, I think it's cute. I'm not objecting to the fact that they designed a feature that someone else may love - in fact I praise the creativity of it. But, this feature comes with an insert that you have to deal with when you aren't frunkgating...

Yay, one less thing to figure out what to do with it.

Tesla having an extensive charging network does not give it "de facto" or any other type of control over NACS. They can now either choose to follow the standard or lose out on the ability for their cars to charge on the rest of the network and their ability to receive revenue from the cars made...

Tesla already has the high performance electric minivan covered:

Has anyone mentioned "whether there will be a cargo cover"? It may be useful for 7 seat configuration if you leave the 3rd row stowed all the time, but it will definitely be useful for the 2 row configuration.

There are several on the market. How high voltage would the Gravity need? Also note that the Gravity has a charging system designed to deal with the voltages available from a Tesla supercharger so limitations for the Air vehicles may not restrict the choices here. Tesla does not. SAE does...

No one company has control over the NACS charging network, NACS is an independent standard already being supported by other networks. The only thing that Tesla has control over at this point is which other cars they will allow to charge on their own stations. But, since other networks are...

That's an interesting observation. The tests I saw all had metal roofs which would directly contribute to the interior heat in a way that hoods/trunks/doors would not. I definitely remember seeing the reference to heat blocking in the configurator, but it seems to be associated primarily with...

I'm thinking of changing to the Lunar color as I may retire in a couple of years to a hotter sunnier climate. I've seen a lot of videos and articles about black cars being 15-20 degrees hotter than white cars, but how would the Aurora Green fare along those lines. They talk about "dark colors"...

I've had the sales people echo this same thought twice now when I asked. But I also asked if it might make a difference on when they call me for finalization and they admitted that it might. As a result, I'm changing my interior choice, but sticking with the green exterior until either the web...

OMG, it's like we share a mind. I use it all the time on the highway as I find that type of driving to be an uninteresting use of my time and the driving is so reliable there. I have FSD and I "play with it" all of the time on side streets and I'm pretty amazed by what it can do, but it also...

And one of the first things I disabled. I didn't want to ever have to worry about whether it would open in traffic and get taken off. I'm guessing that was extremely unlikely given I've never seen any reports of it, but the number of ways in which the door misjudged how far to open either the...

The synthetic leather in my Tesla has always been really soft and pliable. When I touched the samples in a Lucid studio the purluxe felt more pliant as I might expect and the leather sample felt a little less so. The Air models I saw in the studio had been there a while and I saw some minor...

The floor of the vehicle is different with the 7 seats. Look at the configurator and you will see seat tracks for the 2nd row appear/disappear as you select it. That's got to add a bit of weight.

One issue with the Model X is that there is no place for the 2nd row passengers to put their arms in the 5/7 seat variants. They just rest on the middle seat because there are neither inner armrests or a fold down armrest. I know this because the car will identify unbelted passengers and it is...

Related to (maybe a summary/collary) my previous post... Performance is no longer a visible feature of an EV. Motor power can vary quite a lot with very little change in volume. Packaging will be better with less visible bulk due to fewer motive parts and systems. Off-road performance doesn't...

I don't think there is any truly defining visual characteristic of what constitutes a minivan vs an SUV. I think all of the design details that people are pointing to are side effects of the real distinction. They are both vehicles that live in different parts of the packaging (people and...
