    Predictions for the top 3 Cybertruck exterior modifications

    So you're saying it's impossible for the circuit to become energized when it's not supposed to be energized. I'm sure you can get it to ninety-nine point several more nines percent reliable, but that one time out of a trillion that it becomes non-reliable it's a death sentence if traveling at...

    Predictions for the top 3 Cybertruck exterior modifications

    In my mind, there is still only one answer to the question of most popular exterior mod: Ladder Rack. But getting back to this "Electric Tint" first mentioned by piperwarrior99, in Post 22 of this thread: just yesterday Mister Quirksandfeatures reviewed a 2006 Maybach 62 which has a sunroof...

    How Much will the Tailgate Weigh?

    Well, at some point, the damn thing is going to have to be completely removed off of it's hinges, right? Will that mean you need four people to lift it? How many fingers do you lose if there's a mistake? Chain hoist? Forklift? And c'mon, quit chickening out and give me your guess, in pounds.

    How Much will the Tailgate Weigh?

    I think the CYBRTRK tailgate will be much heavier than any other tailgate anybody has seen before. I think most of you will agree with me. The question is: How much will it weigh? I think with the (optional?) slide-out ramp, it will be far over 100 pounds. Possibly approaching 200 pounds. Will...

    Welding on body?

    Weld a sheet to the rear door, hinged just below where the CT's 3/8 inch thick steel bends. Add a strut or two to hold it up. Viola, your new welding table.

    Who here plans on NOT babying their Cybertruck and will use it for heavy work?

    In my job at the apartment complex, every ten days or so I have to empty the dog cans. I figure all eight cans add up to about 300 pounds. The rest of the time my truck is no more than a rolling toolbox, maybe haul some drywall occasionally. I swear to dawg, in terms of total payload weight...

    Car designer Frank Stephenson's view on the Cybertruck

    This guy is scared and covering his own ass. He sees engineers taking over his design turf and instantly everything he "knows" about car design is thrown right out the window, He knows that the Cybrtrk's folded-steel method of producing vehicle bodies may prove to be far cheaper and at the...

    The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    Mining the earth for any mineral is an ugly business. This is not news. The crust of the earth's scientific name is "Lith-osphere". Lithium is found all over the world, It's everywhere. Less than 10 percent of available land has even been prospected for deposits, only the easiest to access...

    Updated CyberTruck to be shown in a month or so says Musk!

    Will it surprise anybody if there is a power outlet in the frunk? How many power outlets in total do you expect? I'm Delusional and I think there will be at least four. Frunk, Front Seat, Rear Seat, Vault. Possibly two more in the interior.

    Washing/cleaning

    If it goes in a mud bog I'll hit it with a pressure washer. Again to get the road salt residue off of it twice each winter. Otherwise, Why Bother cleaning it? There's no reason.

    The sweet sound of an engine

    I have read that some jurisdictions around the world (India?) are requiring a noisemaker on electric vehicles when they travel under 25MPH. This projects outside - not inside the vehicle. Not sure exactly what the reason is... to protect blind pedestrians? Over 25 MPH, the tires slapping...

    Updated CyberTruck to be shown in a month or so says Musk!

    C'mon, C'mon, C'MON! Get this thing moving! I can't wait another day! DETAILS, DETAILS, I NEED DETAILS! And they better let some people crawl all over it with cameras and even calipers. None of this six feet away behind a velvet rope schtick. Fuzzy pictures on a screen crap. I want to know...

    stainless steel laser engraving

    Laser etching the tailgate... Oh man, that's a great Idea. All you'd need is the design you wish to cut, in the proper format to be fed into an engraving machine. Then the machine would need to bigger than this one, and sturdier to move the heavy tailgate. And/Or... Do those machines come in a...

    Lithium Battery Plus Supercapacitor equals Double Fast Charging.

    Why did you have to revive this thread after 10 months? It was better off dead.

    Battery Cycles

    Just like anything else, how long the battery lasts will depend on how hard you work it. Go full charge to near empty every time, while constantly using the legendary Tesla acceleration, then supercharge... your battery will have far fewer cycles and total miles than the owner who is light on...

    Let's be honest - who disliked and/or was repulsed by the Cybertruck when they first saw it?

    My initial thought when it rolled out was.... And I have witnesses who heard me say this out loud... "Aww, man, they made something completely useless for my needs." The jury is still out on that. I think i've gotten over the less-than-8-foot bed.... but I need a ladder rack and cavernous...

    Can a CT be realistically kept outside?

    You guys are silly. Do you really think that one-Inch hail would do even slight damage to 3mm stainless steel or armor glass? I don't think it will. I think you'd need sledgehammers raining from the sky. The only reason you would ever need to take your CT inside is in extreme cold, to preserve...

    New Steel Alloy Body Material Coming For Cybertruck Says Musk

    You guys are still way overthinking this stuff. It's not that complicated. It's not rocket science. It's not going to be life-or-death flying in the air and one cracked weld results in the deaths of a couple hundred people. It's not aluminum. It's cold rolled stainless steel and quite thick...

    New Steel Alloy Body Material Coming For Cybertruck Says Musk

    To me the big news here is... No problem when you weld something to the body. "The low carbon content limits the formation of harmful carbides to such an extent that this grade may be safely used for most operations of welded construction," Limited amount of carbon splatter making your weld...
