My dream car was always a lamborghini countach. I am so excited to be getting a vehicle that is just as fast and can handle speed bumps (as well as tow our horse trailer). I am going with Bello. Or maybe Cyborghini...
I tow a lot of goosenecks and you might just be ok on the flats but as soon as you hit a hill or valley watch out. With the pivot point being in the middle of the bed the back of the bed can get scraped from too much angle change. I've done some damage to trailers and trucks. It's good that...
Thanks for the great replies. Let me add some specific assumptions I am making:
1) FSD Level 5 achieved
2) Multiple jurisdictions have supplied regulatory approval
3) Tesla moves all manufacturing to the production of Tesla fleet TAAS vehicles because the value of TAAS vehicles in Tesla fleet...
2 things struck me when I read the article posted below. The thick stainless Steel on the Cybertruck is heavy and it will slow the manufacturing process because of the laser-cutting, bending and welding being much slower than stamping, which can be run at 50+ stamps per minute. Also, it would...
Actually, looking at the shape, I am thinking remote warm the truck for 10 minutes then accelerate 10 feet, brake hard, then the snow will be off the front. Then one good burst of acceleration forward and all of the snow on the back is gone. No more snow brushing. ??
Being in the middle of the snow season right now, i am looking forward to pulling the snow off the cover with a broom rather than having to c!imb in the bed to shovel it out. Also with the V roof design I am hoping that will make getting the snow off the roof easier. I have a big dodge dually...
I assume that Elon and Company already had the plan to use the 4680 battery tech with the structural design on the drawing board when they designed the Cybertruck. It always seemed to me that the rectangular roof design and sails were more for roll-over protection and "toughness" rather than...
Hi All, I was just reading an article on what the ski resorts are doing this year regarding Covid and had a little day dream about a day at the hill with the Cybertruck. My wife and I load up the gear in the Vault, set a nice temperature to make sure the boots are nice and toasty when we...
I'm with you Ty. I sold my Subaru and am ready to sell my Dodge 3500 as soon as I get the CT. It cost me $1,600 for a brake job just on the front today and they tell me the manifold gasket is leaking and the transmission gasket too, as well as needing an oil change. I feel for the mechanic...
I think being able to take your pets along on trips in air conditioned/heated comfort is going to be game changer for a lot of wives, plus this one will be able to tow the horse trailer too!
I don't know if it's just me, but I get in a lot of trouble when I stamp on the gas of my Turbo Subaru that does 0-60 in 5.7. I am planning ahead for what could happen with a 2.9. I am thinking of having a mission control sequence of some type. Maybe "Engaging warp speed in 3-2-1." Have any...
Sorry guys, I'm afraid you guys are expecting too much from your 2021 Christmas prezzies. The Cybertruck can already do so much. I think we are getting too greedy and it might be a let down if Elon can't muster it. The back wall of the vault still needs to be dust proof (gravel roads) and be...
Replacing Dodge 3500 dually and Subaru Forester. Will probably need to swap out three gooseneck trailers for bumper pulls. Will have to wait and see how the towing works on the Cybertruck.
I was looking at the picture of the Cybertuck with the end gate down this morning, and I thought what if i built a box the size of the vault bed on wheels and used a winch at the front of the box (or bed) to run the box up and down from the truck bed to the ground. For camping it would bring...
Here's an excerpt from Wiki on the Land Rover. It seems to me to be somewhat fitting for the Cybertruck too, except that aerodynamics was added to the mix:
"Many of the defining and successful features of the Land Rover design were in fact the result of Rover's drive to simplify the tooling...
I'm thinking that in the 1930s when the first Beetle was released, most people probably thought it was ugly, or at the very least unusual. What it had was a very cheap and functional design. In the end there were around 21 million of them made, with many of them still around. It seems like...
Where I live, we call the post-apocalyptic thinking people "Enders" (End of Days). The first thing I thought when I saw the cover of the Vault on the truck was solar panel. Would that not be a great addition to a Ender vehicle. You travel by night and charge during the day.
You could have...
