    You get one question answered

    In lieu of no CT news for Christmas I guess we can dream a little. If you got one twitter tweet to Elon and his CT team and they promised to give a single straight answer to one and only one question; what would you ask them? Here's mine; What is battery pack size for the Tri-motor CT?

    Keyless entry

    I feel like this question must have already been asked, but either the search is not working or it hasn't been asked. I saw a FB post asking this same question and I didn't like the answers, so I'm hoping some different ones come up here. I like Ford's exterior keypad entry system. I don't...

    Justify the cost to own

    Trucks are expensive. I know. I've always owned them. The CT (tri-motor in particular) is not cheap. For those willing to lay it out there, I would like to see the pure math argument for ownership. I know there are environmental concerns and other wholistic arguments about the way Tesla does...

    Cybertruck warranty will be important

    Warranties are going to be important for CT owners. Looking at Tesla’s current warranties and comparing them to the current truck warranties out there, I would say Tesla’s warranties are better, but it's hard to compare as these are for vehicles that don't generally get used & abused the way a...

    Cybertruck RTI (Ramp Travel Index) specs

    RTI - Ramp Travel Index is one of those semi-obscure numbers used to help determine a truck's...or Jeep's ability to really off road and crawl over obstacles while keeping wheels on the ground. Good explanation here I'm not concerned that the CT have an extreme RTI to off road, but I would...

    Tri-motor vs Quad-motor or Hub-motor

    The CT and GMC Hummer are going the tri-motor route as the top available option. The Rivian and Lordstown are taking the Quad-motor or what Lordstown is calling the Hub-motor route. It looks like Ford is sticking with a dual motor for now. Wondering if there will be a Quad-motor route someday...

    Cybertruck FSD brain

    I read that Tesla, and several other auto industry companies, (to include at least Ford, Volvo, and Mercedes) are suing the US gov't over Chinese import tariffs associated with car parts. In particular Tesla is suing over what it describes as the brain of the Model 3 self drive function. If...

    5 Yr timeline, EV truck market poll

    Saw some news this morning about the electric F-150 and though it didn't say much it got me thinking about the other companies out there. I know there is a lot of trash talk about other EV trucks, but I'm curious who you all think will realistically bring an EV truck to the US consumer market...

    If Rivian is gonna be there...why not CT?

    I didn't see this posted anywhere else, but thought it was worth the discussion. Someone tell Elon to get a driver prepped! Tesla can't be showed up by Rivian and they say their going and they have champion drivers. Rebel Rally, Oct 8 - 17, 2020 Pretty awesome that they are staging "rapid...

    Satellite based wireless charging

    I know anything is possible, but I'm looking for more of a science based answer to the question of whether or not satellite based wireless charging could be a reality for EVs? My guess is that the limitation isn't as much the distance, but rather the power source (satellite itself), since they...

    Colorado

    Hoping the first Colorado Springs CT owner lets us know when/where we can take a look at the truck in person when the delivery happens. According to the unofficial tracker mine should arrive about 6 months after production starts...but there are a few locals ahead of me. #SPACEFORCE CT
