In lieu of no CT news for Christmas I guess we can dream a little.

If you got one twitter tweet to Elon and his CT team and they promised to give a single straight answer to one and only one question; what would you ask them?

Here's mine; What is battery pack size for the Tri-motor CT?

What are the limitations of aftermarket tires?

...

It took quite awhile to boil that down into a single question. I've heard that other tire sizes with TPMS (tire pressure monitoring sensors) can be used. Also, I heard the service center can change the tire size in the settings.

What if there's a set of snow tires and/or sand tires and/or rock crawlers and/or dailies? Does each tire change require a trip to the service center to change the settings? What's the maximum size tire?

Will the price be the same, or less, for the same specifications, or better, as announced at the reveal?
That answer is 'yes'. Elon has already said that. But the reveal night truck didn't have a pass-through or solar or tow package.

My question would be, is there a committed timeline for the single-motor or wolverine? Tesla has had trouble in the past with getting to the simpler end of the market, but that market needs filling, and Tesla is no longer constrained in investment, so...

Long range Dual Motor eventually?
That wouldn't really be cheaper than the tri-motor. What would it do?

If the long range two motor CT is not
$1500 cheaper I guess I will go with the 3 motor. I don't need the acceleration of the 3 motor or any fancier trim but a guy has to think of resale.

My question would be: Can we get an Elon committed to Tesla, and not seeing Tesla as a possible funding option for SpaceX or other project, he might see as more prudent or long term, in conjunction with his long term dream.

Tesla is getting technology from SpaceX here. Tesla has no monies that move from one company to the other; they merely share technology.

I hope he answers no to this. If it aint broke; don't fix it.

I wouldn't mind if he took SpaceX public by itself, but not because I'm concerned the auto portion of Tesla is funding the SpaceX side of the business. SpaceX would do just fine on its own.

Can you tell us all of the features and specifications of the Cybertruck?
Might be too long for tweet reply. He only gets 280 characters to reply. He might start by listing the things we already know and then just when he starts getting to the good stuff he runs out of chara...
