Cybertruck wishlist - options or ideas you'd like to see available?

I could be wrong, but I believe the cost of the upgrade to the tri motor variant is heavily due to the batteries... and not so much the motors.

Yes, you could be but I don't think you are. Battery content goes up by 100% (or maybe even more). Motor content by 50%,

A flux capacitor, the required 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power needed to operate, or an onboard Mr Fusion energy reactor. Failing that a plug in for my laptop.

My X has TWO flux capacitor warning stickers in the frunk so I'm not sure 1 is enough - certainly not for the TriMotor.

HUD

I would like this multiple times if able.

360 cameras, tow vehicle cameras, shape shifting wheels like the darpa has for on road and off road use.

Configurable lights, wireless charging, multifunctional tailgate, ...

Electrically-charged black-out windows available in Camp Mode.
Tesla should consider it, especially since the car has so much glass.

Great idea, sign me up. Good feature for all that roof glass.

They didn't really. They just made them 24 A rather than 40 A which is what I assume the original ones were. I can only guess, of course, but I think it was probably done when they started selling in Europe. The "charger" is or was a casting with 3 slots in it. Put a module in 2 and you have 48 A capacity. Put in 3 (as they did in my X) and you have 72 A capacity. Put in three and you can connect to 3 phase mains for the European market. This lets them use the same part (module) throughout their portfolio. Rumor has it that that same module goes into the super charger cabinets (but again, that's rumor and may or may not be true today if it ever was). Manufacturers love it when they can have a common part that is useful in many products.

No, capacitors won't change the basic charging configuration or rates. Home charging is going to be limited by what the home chargers can deliver which is 11.5 kW for 23 mi per hour. If you can connect two, as I hypothesize you might, you could get 46. That's pretty close to 54 even though the CT is considerably more power hungry than your current Tesla.

Even super capacitors have very little specific energy compared to batteries. Where they might be used is to provide bursts of energy for rapid acceleration or to absorb bursts of energy from decelleration (regenerative) greater than what can be handled by the current battery only system.

I am confused. We have an M3 that charges at 48 amps and we get 44 miles per hour now.

Just understand that it is exactly the same with BEV's as it is with ICE cars. A compact sedan gets more miles per gallon than a muscualr pickup truck. Same here. Your M3 gets 44/(240*48/1000) = 3.8 miles per kWh taken from the mains. For the Cybertruck that's expected to be around 2.0 miles per kWh.

Belt fed .50 caliber machine gun...

 

[Saskateam]

Who cares how much the CT costs if you can afford the ammo to shot a 50 cal machine gun right.

 

[woodsj]

Yeah, the ability to switch to RWD on the Dual or Tri motor CT so we can do some sick doughnuts...

 

[Dariwuz]

A retractable bed cover that is waterproof......

Suicide doors would be fun just for the hmmm factor.
