Ok, so that means:
- Yes, there will be heat and a/c to the vault.
- Probably, there will be a pass through to the vault from the back seat (under or over the rolled up tonneau cover?).
- Partial implementation of bio weapon defense mode. (I wonder why only partially- it’s certainly big enough...
Or even 5600lbs - same as the F150 as Elon claims. The difference is the payload- a much higher 3500 lbs on the CT so the GVWR goes up to class 2B range. F250 capability in the weight and price of an EV comparable to an F150? What a bargain!
I found a revised chart that rates the Model 3 charge rate at 19 miles for 4800Watts. So the Cybertruck at 15 miles per 4800 Watts would be closer to the Model S at 14 miles per 4800 Watts. This also jives with 4800/15 = 320 Wh which is about the rate per mile for the Model S. I’m fairly...
I wasn’t referring to MPGe. I was referring to charge rate.
I guess what I’m supposing is that if two vehicles charge at the same estimated miles per kWh then they will have the same rated range per kWh battery size.
The Model X is a heavier vehicle so it only gets 8 miles per 4.8kwh and...
Ok, this may be pretty far off but...
Elon Musk tweeted that a solar power tonneau cover option would be available that would provide 15 miles per day. I decided to try using this estimate, given the dimensions of the tonneau cover to figure out what the battery size of the Cybertruck would be...
This is what I have gathered so far: Goodyear Wrangler MT/R With Kevlar 35x12.50 mud-terrain tires. Also, this closeup of the wheel without the aero cover (from the glass test video):

There seems to be a lot of guesswork over the design and capabilities of the Cybertruck against what was actually stated, so I’ve created this list from the transcript of the presentation, along with any relevant tweets from Musk. After all, even Neil deGrasse Tyson got it...
Considering the idea that the apex is a necessary component of an efficient “truss” design then I wouldn’t want to change it for aesthetics. I should instead revise my idea of truckness...
So, I've reserved one based on what I've seen so far. That being said, if before the final production version they just made the cabin a little more sleek - that's it, nothing else. Just a little off the top.
I remember seeing something recently about Tesla getting a patent for a windshield wiper that moves across horizontally on rails. Also, there is another car...maybe the e-tron?...that has cameras instead of rear-view mirrors.
