You mining gold up there or what?

You and I both have been bitten hard by the EV bug. Outside of personal preference, political, FUD... objectively, nothing touches Tesla's (specifically), for ease of use, features, and performance. Some may interpret that as speculation, but having had multiple EVs for 12 years, it's a very real. If Tesla can offer a model that meets my use case needs, and I really think the CT is just that, nothing will touch it in my mind. I'm hopeful for towing too...the current EV trucks on the market won't do it, but with the semi launch, Tesla has the means to put the right things together.
Yall are the reason im buying one. 10 years on a battery is fine by me and more longevity than anything else in general.
Haha. We do prospect (recreationally). Have a suction dredge, slice boxes, pans,…. Get some here and there. The MB is a 2004 we’ve had since new, the Subaru is a 2010 also had since new. These days We sort of but one car every 5-10 years and keep the old one, although now at the stage (well space) where if/when I get an EV truck will probably get rid of the Subaru or MB.

10 yrs is FUD in my mind. Tesla battery durability has been standout and won't be the short end of the stick to your point. With larger batteries, wear from cycling generally goes down as charging and discharging, aren't as deep.
I don't imagine CT will ever meet the durability standards of a Land Cruiser. But if it can perform in ways that a Land Cruiser won't, and support things like car camping with more room and climate control, I can accept that trade. With ~1000 hp and tq, it may even scratch my sports car itch (still need a lithe sports car for agile fun).
Haha. Not it. We mostly go in the spring when the flows are high, the trials are still snow covered/muddy, and the salmon aren’t running yet. Now I have something to watch.

I’m an avid Tesla fan with several of them in my garage. I speak from experience. You’ll be needing a pack for that S any day now.

1. 200 Series - Absolutely LOVE this car - grateful to finally drive one
2. 40 Series - I'd drive it every day if I could - not in LA traffic
3. Tundra - Protected my family in a black ice rollover in 2009 - and I drove it home 250 miles after changing the air filter.
3a - A 300 Series - I can dream, right?
I recently took my 13yo over to the local Toyota dealership when they got a new Supra in, they let him sit in it and start it up - was grateful to the sales guy for setting that up since it's his dream car - when we left, my son asked me what my dream car was and I said your sitting in it - my 2016 200
At work, we get to drive or sit in a lot of VERY expensive/exclusive cars and while I'd like to rent a few for a weekend, there's nothing I'd rather drive than my LC - even if I had the money to buy anything. My parents/friends/wife joke that I've owned more cars and motorcycles than underwear, but keep coming back to the LC's
My wife's Tesla is cool but I HATE, HATE, HATE the fit and finish of that car - the driver side plastic pillar is always pulling off randomly - and I can't stand trying to find the app on the screen for the AC vents - WTF - some things don't need to be changed or put on an app - Keep It Simple Stupid!!!

I'll play along... the three in my stable in no particular order.
- 2011 Lexus LX 570 - because luxury appointed off road bruiser with a livable 3rd row.
- 2006 Honda S2000 - because manual gear box, high revving, nimble, roadster.
- 2006 Volvo V70 R - because hot rod, AWD, manual gearbox station wagon with an orange leather interior.
I’m fairly active on the tesla forums and have been since 2013. I’m not hearing about battery replacements regularly. On here, there is a ton more about radiators and cam valley leaks.
1. My 200

Tricky question.. So many great cars out there. I bought a 200-series 3 months ago. I was really looking for 100-series but couldn't find one I liked. Since we can't have the VDJ79 V8 diesel I would stick with a 200-series.

Well, if you’re gonna buy Tesla……then you may want to hold off until Tesla makes up its mind about self-driving hardware….

Tesla says it is adding radar in its cars next month amid self-driving suite concerns — Electrek
Tesla told the FCC that it plans to market a new radar starting next month. The move raises even more concerns about potentially needed updates to its hardware suite to achieve the promised self-driving capability.
If we're talking top 3 candidates to replace the 200 for what I use it for, a newer 200 is in the top 3. Negating all the dream cars that aren't that practical or affordable, If I had to replace my aging 200 now it'd be:
1) Transit/Sprinter Crew Van with mild camper van build out (sacrificing pure off road capability for camping comfort and huge gear hauling capability)
2) A newer 200 series (I have a hard time spending for essentially what I already have)
3) Tundra Crew Cab with a mild overland build and a shell. I think a late model 2nd Gen, as the 5.7 Automatic has proven so dang reliable.
