Predictions for the top 3 Cybertruck exterior modifications

Mirror delete.

So you're not confident they'll get whatever system they've got through legislation huh?

Edit: removed double negative "not confident they won't get", cuz I have OCD...

In all seriousness, here's what I'd consider:

1. Wrap of some sort (after reveling in the memories of my Grandpa's DeLorean)
2. Tires - except I think they'll actually deliver it with some decent AT tires (Falken Wildpeak etc.)
3. Rims - cuz I think the proto-rims were FUGLY

Proto rims had wheel covers/hub caps on, pretty sure the wheel underneath will be a similar surprise as Model 3.

Haha, I'm confident the NHTSA will allow camera systems to replace physical mirrors. But I'm not confident it will be approved by the time CT rolls off the line. The NHTSA had an open forum of sorts and heard comments from the public. The comments cutoff date was 12/9/19 and it's been crickets ever since, al least from what I've been able to find. Not sure what is supposed to happen next or what the timeline is. I linked the NHTSA docket below for your reading enjoyment.

[CyberCop]

1. Winch
2. electric tint
3. Wireless vehicle charging
Drive up to and over a wireless charging pad to charge the vehicle while home in the garage

Elon would threaten to sue them if they don't approve mirrorless option. Which means, no lawsuit and Elon would get what he wants.

Adjustable air suspension would make wireless charging. work really well, drive over a raised charging pad and nest down on to it. Should be very small losses.

My guess is it will be like most trucks.
1. Wheels
2. Tint on glass. I am hoping not necessary, but ceramic roof tint will be needed if not factory installed
3. Bumpers

The truck looks way better with different wheels on it...

Hi, any link to the website with those rims? Thanks.

 

[Auric]

1. smashed Bugs
2. Dirt & Dust
3. Ice & Snow
4. paint from Assh... that brake checked me.

 

[Nikki2]

Here are my predictions;

1) Aftermarket wheels and tires
2) Vehicle wrap
3) Paint factory wheels arches/flares

I. predict million mil e batteries. With a minimum range (dual motors) of at least 400 miles

I used a lifted F-150 as my vehicle and loaded up a cybertruck image. You can resize the wheels to match up to the wheel on the image and as you go through different wheel selections, the image updates automatically. It's a pretty cool site for figuring out the look on your vehicle.

You're probably right about the hub caps. The main issue I have with them is they stick out further than the sidewall of the tires which is a recipe for rim rash.

 

[DarthMuffin]

My guess:
1) An off-road light bar (roof), probably combined with a brush bar. I won't be getting it but I think that combo would look pretty good.
2) Wheels, or at least new/modded hub caps. I think the stock caps will be prone to damage and maybe even popping off if you air down the tires for sand/snow.
3) Wraps and vinyl graphics

I was looking for curb rash after leno drove through the boring tunnel and didn't see any. Good job on his part, I was expecting some since the demo cars in the tunnel had these side training wheel things and the truck is wider.

1. some sort of roof rack
2. fabricate a fifth wheel hitch
3. Mandalorian helmet?

One of NHTSA's concerns jumped out at me:

Although it is not one of the primary safety purpose of rearview mirrors, drivers often use the outside rearview mirrors after turning off the ignition and preparing to exit the vehicle to determine whether it is safe to open the vehicle door when parked alongside a traffic lane. We seek comment on whether NHTSA consider requiring that a CMS be capable of serving this function by being operational in some capacity either at all times or for a specified period of time after opening the driver's car door.
