This is great news for all Cybertruck reservation holders. I can’t wait for Elon to show off the production version (December)? It’s getting exciting!
Tesla Cybertruck production edges closer as Giga Texas reportedly shifts to 24/7 construction [Video]...
Full size or a mid size Cybertruck? The styling would be identical but the “Wolverine” mid sized truck would be more compact and easily fit inside the average US garage. Cast your vote on the upper left of the page!
Tesla has traditionally used rack and pinion steering racks in all of their vehicles. I am curious if Tesla will switch to a recirculating ball steering box since the Cybertruck may be classified as a 3/4 ton truck, have an adjustable air suspension and will be off-road capable.
Traditional...
The BEV pickup truck wars will heat up next year with 6 electric pickups hitting the streets next year. Here is the list of possible contenders for 2021;
GMC Hummer EV SUT. The public reveal is coming this fall
Electric Ford F-150
Rivian R1T. It has twin nostrils that only a mother could...
I’m confident the Cybertruck will be the safest pickup truck in its class. Besides computer simulations Tesla has their own crash testing facility at Fremont to perform real world testing.
2021 will be an exciting year for reservation holders with a final design revealed, final Beta testing, a...
The electric powered vehicle segment is bustIng wide open with new corporations joining the party. Yamaha will soon have production ready motors for motorcyles and automobiles.
“We’re really, fundamentally making this truck as a North American ass-kicker, basically,” he said. “The goal is to kick the most amount of ass possible with this truck. We want it to be something you could use to tow a boat, a horse trailer, pull tree stumps out of the ground, go off-roading...
Elon talks about going from 5 employees to 60,000 +, manufacturing, EV range, etc.

I visited the Petersen Museum to see the CT in person and was very impressed. It’s much better looking in the flesh and you get to see the real size of the truck.
The first thing I noticed Is how much more gloss the stainless steel has than the truck they revealed in November. I hope Tesla goes...
Rivian just released a video of an R1T prototype undergoing desert testing. I would think Cybertruck test mules are around the corner with production starting in Q4 of 2021. Bring on the Baja 500!
Unlike traditional dealerships Tesla does not add ADM on vehicles that are in high demand. There will be zero price gouging by Tesla when the CT goes on sale. The Cybertruck is going to be hot commodity and Tesla could easily tack on $10-$20k over sticker. I am confident that some of the early...
The HP and torque ratings of the popular Dual Motor version are EXTREMELY impressive according to a Top Speed article;
“The mid-range model will be a dual-motor AWD truck. It will deliver at least 300 miles of range, it will hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and tow up to 10,000 pounds.
Both, of...

Polishing stainless steel to a mirror like finish takes some effort, even more so than aluminum because it's a harder metal. A small Airstream travel trailer will take roughly 200 hours of labor. Anyone plan on going this route instead of...
Tesla will be throwing insurers and body shops a curve ball with the stainless steel Cybertruck.

That’s my hunch anyway. My prediction is that Cybertruck reservations will exceed one million soon after Jay’s Tesla TV episode debuts.
The Cybertruck will be a disruptor in the full size pickup truck segment when it hits the streets. Every high level automotive executive who is in charge of...
With the off-the-hook demand for the Cybertruck I bet that an all electric light commercial Cybervan is in the design stage. The market is currently untapped for an all electric off-road capable van that can be used for commercial work, camping, passenger carrying, etc.
The Exoskeleton construction concept is brilliant. The body is the most fascinating part of the truck to me. My guess is that Tesla will use robotic TIG welders to manufacture the unique 30x SS monocoque exoskeleton of the Cybertruck.
I have a strong suspicion that the Cybertruck will be a...
