    Production Cybertruck Size Reduced By 3% With a More Level Center Line and Lower Window Sills [Update: Interior Reduced 1.5%]

    I like the look of the shrunk version better. If the interior volumes don't change, compacting the outside is absolutely a win for my purposes.

    Deep Dive: Why Stainless Steel Cybertruck Construction Is Genius and Why It Will Last Forever Against Rust [Nikola Garage]

    Interesting. I'm a chemist who at times worked with radioisotopes. Tc 99 is long lived isotope, and a weak beta emitter with no gamma ray. So , at a low concentration it should be fine. If you are deeply concerned ... remember you have a lot of potassium in your body and that is radioactive too!

    We're Giving Away Some Cybertruck Keychains (Contest Inside) [Winners Announced]

    Off road capability - in my area it's 2 track roads through forests - lots of low lying branches and bushes to scratch regular paint. Stainless we can brush out the scratches. Has great ground clearance too

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    50,110 for me. Based on orders so far looks like Tesla might need capacity for several hundred thousand per year.

    Deconstructing Cybertruck’s Tooling Costs Reveal Advantages of Its Engineering/Design

    "Don't match hardnesses on mating surfaces". I would make it out of engineering polymer myself and coat or pigment to whatever color you wanted. Save some $ and weight.

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    So I'm #54,210, ordered the morning (EST) after reveal. Based on Sandy Munro's video I believe it's entirely possible Tesla will tool up for 6 figure CT production.

    Supercar Blondie is getting one too!

    I only buy products endorsed by pro athletes and movie stars. They are well known for spending their money wisely, so I follow their example.

    Alternative C Pillar Panel Design

    I'd rather not have outsiders looking at whatever I have in the bed, oh excuse me, vault. So I'd use vinyl graphics to accentuate the triangularity of the upper structure.

    Bugatti v. Tesla

    There's a Bugatti Veryon in my locality. Never titled or driven. Consider it a piece of art.

    Pride. Immature and mature

    "I put a deposit down on a Cybertruck" is a great conversation starter.

    Why the Cybertruck is Engineering Genius

    Yeah but can it do a tank turn?

    Ferromagnetic?

    Work hardened 3 series stainless can be weakly ferromagnetic. Wouldn't count on a sign sticking though. A chartible organization I volunteer for had the use of some F-150's for an event. Found out that magnetic signs they had don't stick to aluminum body panels. Nobody thought of that...

    Tesla Cybertruck Render Imagines Changes Required To Reach Production

    Don't like it either. Looks like it was designed by a commitee rather than the work of one artisan. Here's a roof design that works if the peaked roof has to go. If the windshield has to curve, make it so slight that at a casual glance it still looks flat. Love the agressive treads too and I...

    Where can I buy 30x cold rolled stainless steel for testing?

    1/8" of work hardened 3XX series stainless should stop a standard velocity 9 mm just like the demo showed. Whether a "Nato" 9 mm would penetrate is debatable. I'd expect a 357 FMJ would zip through. In the final product I would expect the wording to be "up to 1/8" thick". TBH, bulletproof isn't...

    Musk: Cybertruck dimensions (width + length) can be reduced without losing utility or aesthetics

    As long as the interior stays crew cab size and the bed is 6.5 ft, have at it engineers!

    Augmented reality app visualizes if Cybertruck fits in your garage (or anywhere else)

    You get points for creative thinking. At first I thought you lived in a mcmansion then I counted floor boards and found it will fit in my living room. Not quite in my kitchen.. But three fit in the basement.

    Augmented reality app visualizes if Cybertruck fits in your garage (or anywhere else)

    This is a truck not an M1 tank. If you have a 19x7x7 space it will fit.

    Cybertruck Production Dates Changed. Tri-Motor Coming One Year Earlier!

    Just hoping the dual motor has an extended range option - cold weather, highway speeds, long distances between charging stations makes 300 marginal. I don't need supercar acceleration or 14000 lbs of tow. Or paying higher insurance and registration fees because of extra MSRP.
