    Tesla now will start accepting Bitcoins

    Yeah, I won't likely be paying with BTC. A good way for your vehicle to lose way more value over time. Think about the way BTC has been heading. If you pay, 1.5 BTC for your CT... then, BTC goes up $50k more per.... you gave up the right to $75k more in BTC to pay off your CT. In effect...

    Bed Lining

    Yeah, I think this is all worry about nothing. I'm pretty sure Elon and crew will see this issue and resolve it prior to launch. And, if not; I'm sure the aftermarket dealers will love it. peace

    Earliest Cybertrucks may get federal tax credit (400k more Teslas will qualify under GREEN Act)

    I don't see why they limit that credit, but it is what it is. I'm buying my CT regardless. It might help pay for my additions - would like to see the current options list and costs. Pretty wild that Rivian is charging $5k for a fairly basic kitchen, though it does slide out of the pigeon...

    CT Vault subcompartment dimensions

    Maybe we will each be naming that compartment for ourselves. Not bad to have a little custom areas. I might call mine "The morgue". haha :ROFLMAO:

    Bed Lining

    I would love to see full-length slats used like flooring. The bottom of the slats would have the inverse of the "T" near and down the full length on both sides of the slat, possibly have a center "T" to carry the load, if necessary. These slats would be nylon or even hard rubber (similar to...

    Shell Plans To Deploy Around 500,000 Charging Points Globally By 2025

    Of course. Anyone wanting to ensure a happy tomorrow would do the same. Hopefully, the connection point is universal enough to allow anyone to provide charging stations. The best they could do is fill the neighboring field with solar panels and make a huge windfall. peace

    Who's planning on a Cybertruck factory pickup / delivery

    I will pick mine up at the factory, np. I will probably have my brother take me and my puppy (he will be my "dog" by then) with some camping gear to chill by the Grand Canyon to enjoy and check out my new ride. I expect to have solar, if available, and possibly other options. I will be...

    Corrosion resistance in Cybertruck may not be perfect

    And, a meteorite could spank the earth and crush my precious CyberTruck. The reality is, it's better than what's currently offered by everyone else. The other aspect of this 30X SS is that it's 3mm thick. With that kind of thickness, you'd have to be derelict in your duties of care for quite...

    Engineering Explained: If Gas cars are banned, Can The Grid Handle Electric Cars?

    I don't think gas cars will be banned, but I do see you paying additional at tag renewal that is in effect a carbon tax. And, this will get steeper and steeper over time, until you see the value in driving a vehicle with renewable energy source. peace

    But How...?

    The tonneau could roll to the top of the bed. Not sure how large the roll is, but position it to minimize blockage of the rear window, and of course minimize the projection into the area fo be used for passthrough. peace

    StarLink Pre-Orders Now Available

    Interesting live map. It was Elon speak, so, it could have meant a lot of things that don't come to the normal mind. Also, the magnetic poles have drifted - Magnetic North, last I heard (years ago, pretransition), was just north of Russian soil, east of UK. That would put the South Pole...

    StarLink Pre-Orders Now Available

    I think Elon was saying the poles would get it first. Then, as the network is completed, it will fill in the rest of the world. Enjoy

    Retractable Studded Tires

    That was someone you don't want driving on a snowy/icy road. Anyone with any ice/snow experience knows you DON'T lock the brakes, ever. Traction control, no this is anti-lock brakes that didn't work. And, locking the steering did't help either. Never lock the wheels, gently try to roll and...

    StarLink Pre-Orders Now Available

    They are still setting up their network, so they cannot offer ultimate connectivity to all areas, and plus this is a live test, I'm sure. So, enjoy... you may be able to get a discount that might stick even after it goes live. Best wishes. I will get mine later. peace

    How Will You Use The CT?

    My CT will be my daily driver. I'm using it to rid myself of both an ice car (for mpg and dependable transport) and ice truck (for hauling my trailer, hauling junk, hitting the ski slopes, and overlanding). So, everything above in the parentheses is what my CyberTruck will be used for. And...

    Robotaxi Cybertruck fleet with Income Generation Purpose?

    My CyberTruck will not be used as a taxi, other than carting me, my friends, or loved ones around from place to place. Now, this is not to say that I will not entertain the thought of buying additional CyberTrucks to rent out as taxis. I am diversifying my income streams, and that may well be...

    Off Road Performance

    Bronco's Race Ready is a ploy to make people think they are getting an Ultra 4, but not. All the legacy auto manufacturers do is promise and underdeliver, for years. This is why I said my hope is that Elon overdelivers. It could happen - not 100% likely, but that's why I said I hope, and...

    Off Road Performance

    My hope is that the CyberTruck will be a great platform for anything from the Baja 500, to running the King of the Hammers. Would I think it would win either, stone stock - no. But, I sincerely hope it will run them. That's my wish. I hope that computer damped suspension will allow for...

    How Much will the Tailgate Weigh?

    I like the ramp within the tail gate. The tail gate, when positioned beyond level; becomes part of the ramp. Drop the air suspension to provide the best and safest incline. My main concern about this way to stow the ramp, is what about if you're mudding with your ATV, won't you need to clean...

    Name your top 5 reasons why you pre-ordered a Cybertruck

    1. EV - I have for years wanted to shrink my carbon footprint, and now I can in a huge way. I also love the simplicity of the designs, minimizing moving parts, reducing failure points, and just solid engineering from Tesla. 2. Tough Exterior - The 30X SS Exoskeleton will be tough on back trails...
