That was not a threat, Crissa. It was simply expounding on the military mode CTs already artistically suggested. It was meant for a "Oh yeah! That would be cool!" Just like the cool factor noted by Elon's envisioned applications. Someone will always object to a "Cool" vocalization about such things. It's also my right to express them, or at least it used to be.
So you didn't imply that you would shoot "anti-gunners" to keep their mouth shut one way or the other? Yes everything is a joke... but is it?
Let’s assume the delay is because they are trying to get that Avalanche mid gate design completely right before the update reveal. All of a sudden, it is worth the wait isn’t it?
...i am curious about the inner skin...
Road noise will be high by car standards, particularly if it has tires with the aggressive tread patterns it was revealed with - it's a real truck not a modern, luxury 'pretenda-truck" that are so popular with posers these days.
If by "mid-gate" you are suggesting a side-opening tailgate, you will be sorely disappointed because that's incompatible with the light, rigid nature and the high load and tow capacities of the Cybertruck. Cutting all the way through the bed sides would be like negating what makes the Cybertruck such an awesome structure. At best there could be side access doors just behind the cab for smaller items without ruining the structural integrity of the design (as long as the opening was enclosed on top) but, since mid-doors weren't included in the reveal it would make it even more difficult for them to hit their $39K (RWD) and $49K (AWD) announced prices. I have heard there will be stowage compartments in the bed sides accessible from inside the vault.
I want this soo bad. Waiting has not made me a better person.I am talking about this:
Do it like Elon does. Getting the paint right was not working out so he skipped it for CT. If being a better person is not working out, go evil. It is fashionable and popular these days.
Good thing I think it wasn't such a good truck...
Perhaps Elon time works the opposite of dog years. So "a month or so" might actually be about 7 months.
Oh! Yes, cab to bed access is possible but not as the image shows (the opening is too big). The exoskeleton will need a bit more structure (a bulkhead) around that opening. Also, the roll-top vault cover needs tracks to ride in around that area so the opening cannot be wider than the roll-top cover. I know Elon indicated bed access from the cabin was a possibility but I don't see how they are going to do it at the announced prices. I hope they can!I am talking about this:
Elon uses optimistic timelines to motivate his workers to stick to the schedule. On a project this mammoth, timelines have a habit of slipping as the "to-do" list snowballs in size. By putting it out there in the public, Elon lights a little fire under the team. That doesn't mean they will meet the timelines but it does tend to keep them more focused and helps prevent the whole project from snowballing into an unmanageable mess.Perhaps Elon time works the opposite of dog years. So "a month or so" might actually be about 7 months.
