The orange DRL’s was one of my most requested features and they answered it. I think I’m going to have to option in the Roof racks for my Traveler. Seems you can have both the Cabana and Rack

I might have to be right there with you on the rack... I will have to see about the cabana roof - worried about sealing out the weather...

I do not recall them saying 50k and 51k as the base price - I seem to recall that being an effective price after the EV credit which may or may not be available to everyone or anyone when the time comes.

As for the roof rack - I like the looks of the integrated light bar (and the antenna) - but the rack itself would be practically worthless (or honestly worse than worthless, as I would want to remove it to put a functional rack on) to me. It looks like a luggage rack to me, not a roof rack. Luggage racks simply prevent things sitting on your roof from sliding around (the roof itself carries the load). They are not load bearing. At a bear minimum, I would want to be able to put kayak cradles (2 pair) on mine, which equals about a 120lb load on the bars. But even if those bars were somewhat structural, odds are no existing cradles would fit for me.

from the web page:

Entry models starting as low as $50,000 with available incentives. Retail prices starting under $60,000.

Like what i’ve said for the past months about the tax credit. It was around his first term he could have gotten rid of it then. But he didn’t and if you think Elon Musk want it gone your crazyyyy since thats what has helped Tesla so much over the past decade.

Me personally love the video and the way the screen is integrated into dash. Not an afterthought like most looks like they forgot and stick an I pad on dash. Love it. As to cost i think after options for most who are using for everyday use 56 to 60 k out the door is a reasonable assessment. And if EV credit is removed by the Wizard I would think the people at Scout might be smart enough to offer incentives to combat that. But in the meantime I'm going to the jewelry store and buying the ring. Let's get this done !!!!

Absolutely love the plaid accent in the ghost stripes - excellent tribute to the OG
